September 14, 2021 Meta, Scriptnotes, Transcribed

Editor and critic Julia Turner puts John and Craig in the hot seat to review the past ten years of Scriptnotes. They cover the original mission, behind scenes fights, notable guests, and their biggest regrets.

We also predict what we think the next ten years will bring and share a Scriptnotes love story.

In our bonus segment for premium members, Julia has John and Craig play “How Would This Be A Movie?” with the past decade of Scriptnotes. From casting to romance and rivalry, they outline the Scriptnotes Cinematic Universe.

Special thanks to Julia Turner for hosting! Listen to her every week on Slate’s Culture Gabfest.
