Welcome to Kill The Cat! In this episode, we’re looking at the wonderfully sweet film from 2017, Paddington 2, directed and co-written by Paul King. The film uses setup and payoff in a way that stands out as both incredibly well structured and a whole lot of fun. We’re going to be talking about why this is important, some of the things they did to achieve it, and give some of our learnings for how to do it in your own writing. Spoilers for both Paddington and Paddington 2.
