Craig and John debut a new segment: This Kind of Scene, looking at how different movies handle similar situations. The Hudsucker Proxy, The Devil Wears Prada, Hidden Figures and Training Day all need to introduce their heroes to their new workplaces. We examine how those scenes work, both on the page and on screen.
We then discuss what it means to write for an international market, and determine what a “therapy piece” is and how to avoid writing one.
We also follow up on our discussion from episode 310 on the WGA deal and explore why animation writers aren’t included in the WGA.
