Episode 142 - Writing Your Characters Out Through Retirement

In this episode, the two Matts lament how uncreative movie executives are when another remake/rebootquel is announced, talk about long made-up words as well as long real words, relish in the success of one of the hosts finishing the first draft of their next big book, and talk about writing out your characters through retirement in the next of our set about how to write out your characters from the story. Why would a character who's fought for so long retire? What are the benefits and detriments to this way of writing out your characters? Can your characters return still after this without cheapening their earlier departure? Will Matt Donald's new book Teslanauts do just as GREAT *cough* as his Megazoic series? We discuss it all, while never planning to retire ourselves because the economy's ruined, and talk about Avengers Endgame, StarCraft 2, The Matrix, and Michael Jackson for some reason.
