Summary
This podcast is secretly brought to you buy Nathan and Ryan’s raw vegan power bars, available at Firehall Coffee under the table—literally. Just say you want “an extra boost.” Action is what screenplays are all about. It’s more than just what the director says to start actors acting. It’s the “ing” version of verbs, come to life on the page. A screenplay without action would just be a bunch of people talking, which sounds awful. The guys do script surgery on "Muriel’s Wedding" and Nathan pitches his unique, original concept, “Weird Events.”
