Geoffrey and Kristy tackle some of the worst “rules” floating around screenwriting circles. They break down why advice like “the audience must always be ahead of your characters” or “every line of dialogue needs action underneath it” can actually limit your voice and make your script feel stiff. They dig into Predator: Badlands, Prey, and the new Deathstalker, talk about empathy for monsters, building lore that feels lived in, and how theme and character relationships elevate genre. Then they answer questions on action description, page density, and when it actually makes sense to bend or break format. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by conflicting advice, this episode clears the fog and shows you how to keep scripts clean and professional without losing your style.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why some “never do this” rules are just personal preferences
• How to choose whether the audience is ahead of, equal to, or behind your characters
• When dialogue stands fine on its own
• How to keep action lines tight while still revealing character
• How to bend format without looking sloppy
