John and Craig discuss what screenwriters can learn from watching movies. They cover techniques for making the most of the movies they watch and the questions you should be asking afterward.
We also share more advice from listeners about moving to LA and lots of answers FOR listeners who’ve written in with questions.
And for Scriptnotes Premium members, we have a bonus segment discussing The Mandalorian.
