Hits, misses and hedge funds

from Scriptnotes Podcast (.mp3)

Craig and John take a look at one investor’s campaign against Sony Pictures, and George Clooney’s strong reaction. From there, we examine why studios have multiple labels — TriStar is back! — and how that affects writers. It’s also time for another round of Three Page Challenges. We tackle at three entries, ranging from desert dystopias to urban wastelands to magical westerns. Many listeners have asked for an easy way to get at all the back episodes. Now you can!
