214 - Clerks and recreation

Sep 8, 2015

Craig and John tackle another installment of “How would this be a movie?” with a look at the Kentucky clerk, the French train bros, Uber and Deflategate. Who are the heroes and villains, and would there be enough plot to support the running time?

 

We also explore the happy-sad feeling of finishing a screenplay.
