John and Craig talk about writer deals of various types, including a deep dive into new data published by the WGA on feature writer pay.
We also follow up on female redemption arcs and John shares his theory with Craig on how Disney will make its next trillion dollars.
Finally in our bonus segment for premium members, we wade into the discourse on writers tweeting about writing, and whether it’s okay to judge a line of dialogue.
