Story x Story #141: Bricks & Recreation (The Lego Movie)

This week, Nigel and Tazziii throw away the instructions and get creative in Bricksburg for a deep dive into The Lego Movie with Content Creator Dan's Distillery (at 28:55). We discuss the way this story has shaken off its commercially minded origins to deliver a well-executed, funny and thoughtful narrative that explores the balance between conformity and creativity. The episode's storytelling tip is about breaking the routine of your story's first act. Other stories we're enjoying: A Space for the Unbound, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Euphoria, Star Wars Jedi: Jedi Fallen Order, Kotoro Lives Alone, Barry, Air.
