The One with Noah Baumbach

John talks with writer-director Noah Baumbach about his film Marriage Story. With script in hand, we discuss his writing process, handling overlapping dialogue, and how to find balance in a two-hander. We also answer a listener question about LA vs. New York apartments (01:05:16), and the challenge of making boring things interesting. In our bonus segment for premium members (01:14:26), Craig returns to discuss escape rooms! Links: Read the script for Marriage Story here or watch Marriage Story APA Signed with WGA, congrats APA!
