In this episode, the two Matts relax at a pub and play a simple and completely accessible game of Mischancism, recall all the various other professions they tried before settling on writing, save the world from a giant space-face, and talk about interludes and how one might weave them into the narrative of their stories. What exactly defines an interlude? How different should they be from the rest of the story's structure? When are they necessary, and when can they just be replaced with a perspective change? How many interludes can Matt Donald force into the episode just to beef up the episode's runtime? We discuss it all, with a pace and focus as straight as an arrow, and talk about Man of Steel, Iron Man, BIONICLE, and an older version of Megazoic that our listeners undoubtedly haven't read nor have any idea of what we're talking about when referencing it.
