POP CULTURE MONDAYS...ON THURSDAYS

Episode 66: Moronic Inferno: a Convo with Gary Whitta


Listen Later

This week, Brooke has her first guest on after doing the show solo over the summer. And no better way to kick off this new season of guests than with her dear friend, screenwriter and novelist, Gary Whitta. Brooke and Gary have known one another since the ‘90s when they were gamer kids and Gary was the head editor of PC Gamer Magazine. Since then, Gary has become a hit screenwriter, with movies like “Book of Eli” and “Rogue One,” part of the “Star Wars” franchise. Gary is also a successful novelist. His first book, Abomination, was a smash, and his latest book, Gun Dog, was released THIS week to great reviews. Gary and Brooke talk about their experience in gaming and Gary gives us a detailed look into what the writing process is like for the screen and for books. And of course, how all this ties in to today and pop culture. IT DOES.
