  • Great for Cats and more

    Found this after watching a Save the Cat Writes a Horror webinar. You don’t need to have read STC to enjoy, but if you have it is a great refresher and dives into other concepts that are super helpful in pursuit of a great screenplay. The one I’m diving into now is superior position, and how it was applied to The Silence of the Lambs, their commentary is so insightful and funny. Great choice in movie breaks downs as well. It’s my new favorite podcast.

  • Essential Listening for Screenwriters!

    Not sure why it’s taken me so long to leave this review as I’ve listened to the entire catalog at least twice and sometimes more depending on the episode (Groundhog Day!). I love this podcast so much- really nerdy technical discussion of screenwriting from several distinct POVs has been my Masters degree in cheeseburger/arch plot screenwriting. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
