In this episode, the two Matts deal with Matt Donald's fierce and bizarre craving for a certain Middle Eastern food, don't quite meet our writing goals for our drafts but are really, really close, come up with a decisive answer for a classic riddle, and talk about planning your plot and genre in the next of our set about pre-planning before your draft? Which comes first, the plot or the genre? How do you know the vibe of your story before you write it? Is the plot tied directly to the genre, or can you have the same plot with wildly different genres? Why is Matt David obsessed with the breasts of birds, as opposed to the breasts of other, more worthy targets? We discuss it all, having already figured out the vibe and genre of this dumb show years ago, and talk about Edge of Tomorrow, Inception, Avatar, and Age of Mythology for some reason.
