592 - Only One of Us Can Be the Hero

Scriptnotes Podcast - Un pódcast de John August and Craig Mazin - Martes

Categorías:

John and Craig host another round of the Three Page Challenge where they look at listener pages and offer feedback on what’s working and how to avoid common pitfalls. They discuss writing gore, finding your tone, and introducing a character’s problem. We also follow up on villains, pirates and European script consultants. We then ponder a long-nagging question: why do all action heroes have names that begin with J? In our bonus segment for premium members, we talk about our experiences with anesthesia and how people are knocked out in The Last of Us.
