In this episode, the two Matts sell a retreat themed around the Bechdel test and making sure your story passes it, remember writing school papers longer than the short stories they were about, think of a modern day Robin Hood armed with creative accounting instead of a bow and arrow, and talk about crime fiction in a contemporary setting. What kind of crimes could characters commit? Where should the readers' sympathy lie? How morally gray can you make your police or criminals? How long will Matt Donald go between the segments of his favorite Heroes quote "You both....have power!" to torment his fellow co-host? We discuss it all, over a completely legal server to not arouse any suspicion, and talk about Gotham, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Watchmen, and the aforementioned Robin Hood, the O.G. crime fiction!
