What?? Wow, I love the Scriptnotes podcast! Thank you for including me, @johnaugust.bsky.social
And I'm not at ALL terrified to listen to what a pair of prestige TV/film screenwriters think of my YouTube vids 👀

Sweet that John August finally discovered @captaindisillusion.bsky.social and made his YT channel this week's One Cool Thing.
I also heartily endorse subscribing to it.

Listening to Tony Gilroy on Scriptnotes podcast. They wrote 1500 pages of script on Andor, only cut one scene in edit and reshot one scene over the two seasons. Because they got the scripts incredibly tight before shooting.
Idea for studio execs: maybe movies should follow this process.

I was on the Scriptnotes podcast! @johnaugust.bsky.social was kind enough to invite me on to talk about RPGs, storytelling and my book, Monsters, Aliens and Holes in the Ground. It was fun and I think I sounded smart, even:

I think my favorite part of this Scriptnotes episode was not the law stuff but the part when John August just wound up Craig Mazin and let him go on a lengthy hate-rant about the beach.

Approving copy edits on the Scriptnotes book. 98% of the changes are easy accepts. But then there's "nonrelationship," "boldface," and my specific preference for "compared to" over "compared with."
