181 - INT. THE WOODS - NIGHT

Jan 27, 2015

John and Craig pick up loose ends, with follow-up on previous episodes about “friends,” conflict, improv, Kindles, and defibrillation.

 

Then it’s that Peter Bart episode, which is enough to cause a heart attack.

 

Finally, we get to some listener questions about referring to collective characters, INT/EXT, deaf assistants and ellipses.

 

Next week, we hope to have two episodes: a normal one and the NSFW dirty show for the premium feed.
