  • Fun and smart

    What makes this a great podcast is learning about the craft of writing screenplays and telling a compelling story. Their banter is fun, movie discussions diverse, and it’s coming from three guys who genuinely love the medium of screenplays. 5 stars is too few of stars for this show.

  • Long time listener

    I’ve listened to this podcast since year one or two. I have found this podcast as a platform full of useful and actionable tools I can use for my writing. Whenever I do a new script or when I’m having trouble with a rewrite I’ll put on an episode that corresponds with what I’m trying to accomplish. The fellas make it a fun learning environment and do so in a very nuanced way. It’s a great tool to have at your disposal and a fun listen.
