McQuarrie on McQuarrie
from Scriptnotes Podcast
In preparation for episode 600, John revisits our first two episodes with Christopher McQuarrie (Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, The Usual Suspects) to marvel at his wisdom and enjoy his ongoing feud with Craig. We chart his course from writer to writer-director, his process of rescuing a movie in crisis, the storytelling opportunities on TV, and what the future holds for young filmmakers. In our bonus segment for premium members, John, Craig and Chris conduct a post-mortem on what killed the Spoof Movie – surely there must be a reason? (Of course there’s a reason, and don’t call us Shirley.) Links: Original Chris McQuarrie episodes 300 and 400 Chris McQuarrie on IMDb Chris McQuarrie on Instagram Get a Scriptnotes T-shirt!
