Craig and John discuss epic world-building, and the promises and pitfalls for writers attempting to create fictional universes.
From Gotham to Hogwarts, Middle Earth to Narnia, world-building is at the heart of some of our biggest movies and series, but are we creating settings for our stories, or stories for our settings? We also discuss the differences between portals, lived in worlds and just-beneath-our-noses.
Also this week: whether a screenwriter is better off with a poorly-reviewed hit or a well-reviewed flop.
