John and Craig pick up loose ends, with follow-up on previous episodes about “friends,” conflict, improv, Kindles, and defibrillation.
Then it’s that Peter Bart episode, which is enough to cause a heart attack.
Finally, we get to some listener questions about referring to collective characters, INT/EXT, deaf assistants and ellipses.
Next week, we hope to have two episodes: a normal one and the NSFW dirty show for the premium feed.
