In this episode, the two Matts come back after another unnecessary week-long break, do a really short ad that was meant to save time for edits but look how that turned out, compare our grades in school to how much of a frick we give, and talk about making sure serial works have in-the-moment fun in the first of our set about the pitfalls of writing serial works. Does every episode or chapter have to be plot-important? How can you have your characters grow even when the plot is set aside? Where can you add importance to an episode or chapter if it's not part of the overarching narrative? How obvious is it that Matt David came up with the premise of this set, just like the one about episodic works? We discuss it all, in an episode super-important to the narrative of the podcast so you can't miss it, and talk about Harry Potter, Harley Quinn, Merlin, and Rise of Nations for some reason.
