This week, Jeremy & Mads are calling MALALA!

Listen as we breakdown the decade long cultural journey that took a Black List winning 'Super Bad' knock off and gave it a massive GLOW UP to become one of the best screenplays (and FILMS) of the 2019!

We talk the subverting high school class structure, question whether or not 'Super Bad' would even work in 2019, discuss crafting character arcs that create profound growth through devastating failure, marvel over Olivia Wilde's baller soundtrack choices, and revel in the delight that is Billie Lourd as Gigi!

This week, Jeremy & Mads are out of their VULCAN MINDS! 

Listen in as Jeremy gushes (and cries) for much too long over a fifteen-minute opening sequence, Mads confuses genetically engineered Chris's (i.e. Hemsworth, Pine, Evans, Pratt), and we dissect how incredible WRITING, DIRECTING, & EDITING all come together for one of the BEST popcorn movies of the past twenty years with 'Star Trek (2009)'!

This week, Mads & Jeremy are evil and MUST BE DESTROYED! 

Listen in as we discuss the national treasure that is Dolly Parton, the uselessness of (MOST OF ) the men living in Chinquapin Parish, and show how a brilliant stage play can be adapted into a BRILLIANT screenplay and then into an EVEN MORE BRILLIANT movie! 

Let's get both blush AND bashful with 'Steel Magnolias (1989)'.

This week, Mads & Jeremy watch stupid criminals, perform stupid crimes, stupidly. 

AWWW JEEEZZZ!! 
 
Listen in as we learn that you really should get dat’ True Coat, revel in the eternal power of Frances McDormand, and witness how the breaking of screenwriting NORMS, funny lookin’ though they may be, can be masterful in the right hands!

This week, Madison picks a tear-jerker with BITE! 

*Cue Guitar Riff! 

Listen in as we CRACK the power of simple moments where reality infects our narratives, how audience surrogates are CRUCIAL to understanding the emotional state of your characters, AND Jeremy is shocked to realize that Buffy's sister is ACTUALLY a...memory (?) with 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer Ep. 516 - The Body'

This week, there are rich podcasts, and there are poor podcasts, then there's fifty feet of crap...and then there's PAGE BREAK!  

With this week's pick, Jeremy takes Madison out to the ballgame for a two-bagger of screenwriting legends, a crackerjack lesson that writing is rewriting (even in editorial), AND revel in the glory that is Brad Pitt eating snack foods with 'Moneyball'.

Written by: Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian
Story by: Stan Chervin
Based on the book by: Michael Lewis
Directed by: Bennet Miller

This week on Page Break, Mads and Jeremy are bad feminists. 

We dive into the PAINFULLY BRILLIANT mind of Phoebe Waller Bridge to wallow in grief, familial awkwardness, and sarcastic asides to the invisible audience with ‘Fleabag (Ep. 101)’.

Directed by: Harry Bradbeer & Tim Kirkby

This week, Madison & Jeremy find that Heaven IS a place on Earth! 

Let's take a peek into the 'Black Mirror', where technology might be our overlords but that doesn't mean we can't find love (and copious happy tears) on the beaches of 'San Junipero'.
