The Tentpoles of 2019

Craig and John discuss the 31 superhero movies slated for the next few years. Is it good business or a trainwreck in the making? How do you move from a vague idea to an actual pitch? We talk about what you say when you’re in the room pitching on a project, and why passion trumps plot in most cases. We also look at copyright and how the current system is broken for everyone. Next week will be Craig-less, because we’re recording live at the Austin Film Festival with a bunch of amazing guests.
