  • Great advice, great examples

    This is my no. 1 podcast because it hits the trifecta — it’s entertaining, it’s informative, and more than that it gets my butt in the seat to put words on the page. The advice is useful without being prescriptive. I am either gaining new insights into movies that I love, or I’m discovering reasons to check out movies I’ve missed.

#149 - Listener Questions! The Sequel! (2026)
Q: What would you consider to be the golden example of a perfectly executed script?
The Matrix is the closest answer for some writers because it exemplifies strong execution, especially in terms of hero's journey, character arcs, and how the final execution can differ from the original script.
#110 - Batman Returns (1992)
Q: Does Bruce have a whiff of change?
The hosts debate whether Bruce Wayne shows any significant character development in the film, concluding that while he does experience a slight change in his perception of relationships, he largely remains consistent with his character throughout.
#117 - Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Q: What is the significance of the Treaty in the film?
The treaty is essential to making the Trade Federation's blockade legal, although it remains confused and poorly defined in the film.
#117 - Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Q: What was your initial impression of The Phantom Menace?
Many fans initially wanted to like it but felt confused after watching it, leading to a growing dislike over time.
