John and Craig revisit the discussion of sexual harassment in Hollywood, and how to support writers facing it. While the media spotlight is on the predators, it’s the day-to-day bullying and bad behavior that may have a more pernicious effect.
Then it’s another round of How Would This Be a Movie, looking at stories in the news to see which ones might be suited for the big screen.
Is it the story of a prison camp for female firefighters? The shockingly unregulated human corpse trade? Or is it perhaps the anti-racist protestors shut down by other students at a super-liberal college?
We also answer listener questions about British English vocabulary and how to lure expert consultants for a project.
