In this episode, the two Matts come back from a one week break in addition to the usual one week break between sets because we're dependable podcasters, sell a computer virus protection software that might be an allusion to something in the real world but it's too subtle to tell, lament about being an English major versus something more reliable like a business major, and talk about writing out your characters by completing their arcs in the first of our set about how to write out your characters from your story. What is the best way to ensure your characters' arc is completed? What's the difference between completing their arc versus just another day in the plot for them? How can you make it in a way that's satisfying? Why does Matt David constantly tell Matt Donald to slow down even though Matt Donald always speaks so carefully and with great intention? We discuss it all, while hoping to complete the arc of this podcast sometime before the heat death of the universe, and talk about Back to the Future, Frozen, and She's the Man for some reason.
