Ever feel like a season of your favorite show hits big up top or finishes real strong, but the rest is a little lackluster? Writing for TV (or anything) is difficult, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. But that doesn't mean that each season or each episode is a standout hit. This week Nick and Joy discuss the joys of TV filler episodes, what they notice from watching their favorite shows, and how Nick approaches his own storytelling methods.

This week Joy and Nick spend sometime looking at three different folktales. They talk a little about how they originated, but mostly how they could be improved in a reimagining. It gets weird and silly. Beauty & the Beast, The Pied Piper, and Thumbelina all make special guest appearances.

This week Nick & Joy talk about the weirdness of WandaVision ep. 3 & 4 (Spoilers from 4:30m to 16:04m) then they dive into how mythology & morality influence storytelling. How does storytelling work & play within reality while also speaking to the choices humans make? Christopher Nolan's TENET is used as the backdrop to the conversation, but it's spoiler-free!
