We continue with the Love on Netflix watch along series as well as a brief look at the Academy Award Nominations before the show this weekend. I give my predictions and thoughts for basically all the categories. Engage!

The Return of the Love on Netflix Watch along! Season 3 Episode 1! Also, we do a semi deep dive into the world of the best unproduced scripts of all time. Engage!

Book reviews as always to start and then we spend some time with MovieWise on this year's Oscar nominated screenplays, as well as classical era filmmaking techniques that need to make a return. Engage!

Less of a rant and more of long gestating thoughts. They're good though, if nothing else interesting at least. Besides that, we introduce The Discarded Image to the podcast, a longtime favorite Youtuber of mine. And discuss a 1967 classic film by the name of In Cold Blood. Engage!

Albert Lewin is his name, and he comes up in our almost weekly MovieWise video later in the podcast, but before that we discuss yet another book I just bought and a bonafide classic film I saw in theaters this past weekend. As well as check in with LocalScriptMan and a few more of his videos. Engage!

We start this pod off with a small review of Wizard of Oz which I saw in theaters for the 85th anniversary of that classic movie. Then we discuss my recent book purchases, which seemingly go on forever. Finally, we hit up LocalScriptMan and dive into more of his videos on characters and narrative rules, pacing being an audience word and not a writer word, and how much media we consume and what kinds of media we consume as writers. Jam packed episode. Engage!

We introduce Script Sleuth to the pod for some informational and educational screenwriting tips and analysis. As well as review two flicks I saw recently in theaters. Engage! (Audio issues as well, I apologize)

We dive into a new book purchase from William Goldman I recently made, before heading back to MovieWise for videos on modern movie techniques and movie theme. Then we introduce LocalScriptMan to the podcast with more follow up on theme informing character. Big episode. Engage!

Audio issues all around, but we made it work. As usual. All movies from this year and beyond that I'm excited for. Please try to overlook the issues and just vibe with me. Engage!

List Time! Favorite time of the year. I formulate and list my top ten first time watches of the previous year. And we look at new books and a new Youtuber hits the channel, Nerdwriter1, with a video about Louis CK and joke writing. 2024 is here! Engage!
