Take Me To CoffeeTake A Ten: Andy RoninsonEver been curious how musicals get written or what a composer loves in their actors? Get. Into. This. Coffee. Date. Because, oh god, we got nerdy AF with Larson Award-Winning Composer Andy Roninson, trying to figure out what parts of song structure affect why we do or don't like a song, whether a perfect rhyme actually matters (and also wtf is a perfect rhyme anyway), and what we're supposed to do when malaise hits and we'd rather play video games than make something.

Then, of course, we tackle Matt's HP Hot Take, which is that Eddie Redmayne is trash, and Newt Scamander is not a character we should have to care about.

Adaptation | johnaugust.comWorst Case ScenariosJohn and Craig ponder worst case scenarios that might usher the end of screenwriting as we know it. What are the odds that screenwriters lose work because an economic crash keeps movies from getting made? That screenwriting gets outsourced? That human screenwriters are replaced by AI? That film as a medium gets replaced? That the WGA falls apart?
We also answer listener questions about communicating with actors and waiting on optioned IP to get produced.
