S2. E6. Author Uncut Podcast: Coronavirus: Top 10 Films to Watch, Scripts to Read, to Freak the Sh*t Out of You! (AuthorUncut.com)

WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE SCRIPTS TO THESE FILMS? Go to: https://patricewilliamsmarks.com/s2-e6-author-uncut-podcast-coronavirus-top-10-films-to-watch-scripts-to-read-to-freak-the-sht-out-of-you

Today’s podcast list ten films that are scary as hell considering we  are almost in lockdown from the coronavirus.  These films will have you  washing your hands while singing “Happy Birthday” twice, using hand  sanitizer, stocking up on toilet paper and even using “social  distancing” from your mom!

But in all seriousness, these films, and the masterful writers who  wrote the scripts about pandemics, had foresight that we could never  have imagined.

I’ll list ten films, in my opinion, are some of the best.

But first, if you enjoy my podcast, I’d be grateful if you spread the word by leaving a rating and a review.

S2 E5 OJ 25 - The OJ Simpson Trial Jury Selection and Questionnaire (AuthorUncut.com)

Today's podcast focuses on a subject so many still find not only interesting, but riveting.  In fact, 25+ years later, it is still a polarizing subject.

Of course I am referring to OJ Simpson and the trial of the century.  I've just released another book on the subject, that being the questionnaire given to potential jurors.

But first, if you enjoy my podcast, I'd be grateful if you spread the word by leaving a rating and a review.

S2. E3. Why The French Are Interested in American Sensitivity Reading; Also Blackface Explained (AuthorUncut.com)

Today's podcast delves back into Sensitivity Reading and why it intrigues the French. I'll also explain why Blackface is offensive.

Mid 2019 I was contacted by a really cool husband and wife team working in Los Angeles for France 24; an international television channel based in France. They were the LA Correspondence for the network and found me after reading a few of my articles online.

They asked to interview me in person; which I did. It was an interesting experience as I had never been the focus of a news story before, despite working within the news business.

They informed me that there is no such thing as Sensitivity Readers in France, and wanted to get to know more about me, the profession and how why/how I chose to become one ...

S2. E2.  Author Uncut Podcast: Writing One of the Funniest Funniest Movies of All Time, "MY COUSIN VINNY" (AuthorUncut.com)

Today's podcast highlights some of the funniest and most well-written moments from the classic comedy, My Cousin Vinny!  

When I saw My Cousin Vinny for the first time, I wasn't a screenwriter, I wasn't even an author. I was just a movie goer who wanted a good laugh.

I got that and more after watching My Cousin Vinny. That film, along with Star Wars and Clueless, are films I watch at least once a year, every year.

After doing some screenwriting of my own, I came to appreciate the script and the film even more. The way Joe Peshie's character's stakes are gradually raised. Marissa Tomeii's character, which is integral to the plot, and not just window dressing; the huge laughs, the "true moments," all make for a near perfect script and film, in my opinion.

S2. E1.  Author Uncut Podcast:  5 Truths About Writing a Novel... You Can't Handle the Truth! (AuthorUncut.com)

What are the TRUTHS about writing a novel?

Writing the Great American novel. Is there a sort of romance to the writing process?  It depends on whether your definition of romance means walking on the beach at sunset, or sitting hunched over in front of a monitor for hours on end.

Writing, completing and publishing a novel gives every writer a sense of accomplishment.  I know for myself, once I write that last chapter, I feel a sense of relief. I feel that again after the editing, and again once it's released into the world.

But, no matter what type of novelist or writer you are, you will discover or experience these 5 truths about writing your novel.

This is part 2 of my series nailing the differences between wiring a screenplay and writing a novel. BUDGET is a big part of it when it comes to writing a script. There are rules, limitations and considerations.  With novels, there are no limits.
