Well the podcast has managed to make it to 50 episodes so today I thought we would do something a little different. This may be a boring episode to some but I have had multiple people reach out to me asking about how they write a screenplay. Some just wanting to know how to get started. Well a big part of my research for my own writing involves breaking down movies I watch into a script format so I thought it would be fun to do the same on the podcast. Now I am by no means an arbiter of what it takes to be a screenwriter. I have no experience in selling a script or making a movie, I just hope that one day I will. This is just my personal advice and take on the best way to get a beginner started. Hopefully anything I say here can inspire the next person to finally take to that keyboard and write a script of their own. We are now on Patreon!

Well this week was supposed to be Freddy vs Jason but that episode might be moved to Halloween or the first November episode due to some scheduling conflicts and personal news (that I can't talk about yet.) So instead of missing a week I decided to get some reviews up on some shows that I just finished watching this weekend. First off is two Marvel Netflix season in Daredevil Season 3 and Jessica Jones Season 2. I also throw in Supergirl Season 1 as I just finished that on my way to marathon all of the DC TV shows to get to the Batwoman cross over. We are now on Patreon!

Before we had Marvel studios and the MCU there are often three movies credited with reviving the superhero movie genre. Blade, X-Men, and Spider-Man. Well did you know that there was almost a Venom movie in there and could have even released before Spider-Man? It took us until 2018 to finally get a Venom movie which has been very successful despite it's bad reviews, but what would a 1998 Venom movie have been like? I didn't plan on doing two Marvel movies in a row but sometimes that's just how it works. Written By: David S. Goyer Logline: When an alien symbiote bonds to his body, down on his luck Eddie Brock is now the one person standing between an alien invasion. That is if the symbiote doesn't take complete control.

Little Evil is a Netflix film that quickly caught my attention because of the cast. It features a lot of actors that I think are very funny or am a big fan of. I decided to throw it on for Shocktober and see if the movie lived up to the caliber. "Gary, who has just married Samantha, the woman of his dreams, discovers that her six-year-old son may be the Antichrist."

This is a movie that I have been dying to see since it's first trailer. It had always eluded me until it recently popped up on Netflix. I know a lot of people were put off by the accurate 1600's way of speaking, but does this movie live up to the hype? "A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic and possession."

I am a fairly casual manga fan and while I was always interested in Death Note, I never actually got around to reading it. Since the movie dropped on Netflix I always saw it as maybe a gateway into the source material. Well after the movie I started reading the books, but what does that say about the film? "A high school student named Light Turner discovers a mysterious notebook that has the power to kill anyone whose name is written within its pages, and launches a secret crusade to rid the world of criminals."

I swear I didn't watch this many Stephen King movies on purpose! This was actually the first film I watched of the season and it just got pushed down the line of reviews. Based on what is known as King's magnum opus, does the movie live up to the book series? "The last Gunslinger: Roland Deschain, has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black, and determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower that holds the universe together. With the fate of the world at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle, as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black."

I will pretty much watch any movie starring Ryan Reynolds, so when I saw that he was doing a horror comedy I knew I wanted to check it out. Alas it was given a limited release and never crossed my path until it recently popped up on Netflix. It was finally my chance to give The Voices a shot! "A likable guy pursues his office crush with the help of his evil talking pets, but things turn sinister when she stands him up for a date." Directed by: Marjane Satrapi Written By: Michael R.
