This week on THE SCRIPT we continue our Halloween Horror Series with Guillermo Del Toro's gothic romance,"Crimson Peak." Is the titular Peak bleeding literally or metaphorically? What does the genre of Gothic Romance entail? What does Crimson Peak have in common with Matthew Robin's previous screenplay for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark? At what point in a film does the audience make a contract with the storyteller? And what does that contract entail from both parties? Should the producers have just entitled this film Guillermo Del Toro's Jane Eyre?

"She won't be able to tell us apart." This week on THE SCRIPT we continue our Halloween Horror Series with the twisted and creepy Austrian horror film "Goodnight Mommy." Could this be the first horror film that thematically addresses the plight of the working mother? How do you handle ambiguity without confusion, how do you keep a script complex without it getting complicated?

"Yo Dre. What up? I got something to say." -- Ice Cube - This week on THE SCRIPT we analyze Straight Outta Compton, the F. Gary Gray biopic of legendary gangster rap group N.W.A. Did the filmmakers design Straight Outta Compton to speak to the issues of the Black Lives Matter movement? Or is a story about animosity between police and young black men that took place 30 years ago inherently relevant because the struggle continues today? What are the structural considerations when writing a biopic (Two words: Scope & Triumph)? How does the film manage poetic license vs. historical fact in terms of these artist’s legacies, the role of women in their story, and Eazy-E as the film’s emotional center of gravity? We discuss the multi-dimensional painting of Jerry Heller’s character as an allegorical stand-in for ‘the white savior’ and ‘the white devil.’ ALSO-- “Bye Felicia.” . #NYCSC #NWA #BlackLivesMatter @FGaryGray SCRIPT ANALYSTS: Kristina Leath-Malin, Keith Miller, Alka Khushalani, and David Negrin

UPDATE: Well it looks like our Fantastic 4 Panel is gonna be a bloodbath! We love a hollywood blockbuster gone wrong because it’s the best way to discuss the fundamentals of screenwriting, what’s wrong with the hollywood script development process, and how we can fix it.
Helmed by Josh Trank (Chronicle), scribed by action writer Simon Kinberg (X-MEN:DoFP, Sherlock Holmes, Jumper), with a cast of highly acclaimed young actors (Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell). Can this comic book franchise measure up to Avengers and X-Men? Can it pack a box office punch like Jurassic World? Interact with our panel of script analysts in a Q&A after our analysis. SCRIPT ANALYSTS: David Negrin, Jordan Brian Rosengarten, Kristina Leath-Malin, and Jeremy Engdahl-Johnson.

| Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:15:09 | |
“Just as I suspected, toxic waste.” This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the new Netflix Series, reboot, reimagination, fever dream Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp. What a screenwriting mindfuck. What a screenwriting challenge. What story components did creators Michael Showalter and David Wain smartly bring forward from the film to the series and what did they unfortunately leave behind? What is the slight difference in comedic tone that made Wet Hot a comedy cult classic and The State a comedy experiment? How does a director manage the intersection of improv comedy and scripted comedy? Despite our recurring criticism of Streaming Studio Pilots feeling incomplete in terms of writing a spec, we loved this series— independent vision with broad distribution. Oh that cast and Oh those cameos! #NYCSC #WHAS #Netflix @mshowalter @michaelianblack Watch the Wet Hot American Summer (The Film) on NETFLIX and then...

| Trainwreck | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:21:26 | |
"Have you fucked before? Where is she buried?" This week on THE SCRIPT, our all woman panel returns to analyze the Amy Schumer feature film comedy vehicle: Trainwreck. What’s the difference between writing a high concept feature film comedy and edgy television sketch comedy? Is there variation in the comedic voices of Amy Schumer and director Judd Apatow? Do they blend well in Trainwreck? What is the holy grail for today's cutting edge comedy writers and performers? Is it Late Night or is it niche TV Series? And exactly did Amy Schumer take over the comedy world in 2015? Girl you don't need makeup, you're perfect when you wakeup! LISTEN to THE SCRIPT Podcast: “Trainwreck" here on iTUNES

| Ant-Man | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:02:25 | |
"Baskin-Robbins always find out." This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the Marvel action comedy: Ant-Man. Where does Ant-Man stand in the new hall of Action/Comedy tentpoles like Guardians of the Galaxy, Kick-Ass, and Hot Fuzz? We address the Edgar Wright controversy and comment on his special comedic voice as a screenwriter. What is the re-writing trick known as "Act Shifting” (Note: it's shifting each act forward when the conflict of your screenplay isn't escalating fast enough.) Honey I Shrunk the Marvel movie expectations! We talk anthropomorphized sidekicks and get accent advice from a professional dialog coach who can do 60 accents!

| Another Period | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:14:13 | |
“Blanche you idiot! You got egg upon my snood! He was gonna wear that today, now he has to select another snood!” This week on THE SCRIPT, our all woman panel Kara, Kristina, and Melissa assign David a period joke safeword and launch into a no-holds barred analysis of the new Comedy Central series “Another Period." Yes this is an explicit podcast. Yes it is entirely composed of powerful female comedy writers ‘going there', yes David cowers in the corner trying to hold his own. Is there such a thing as ‘women’s issues comedy’? What are the challenges and opportunities when writing an ensemble show vs. a traditional five person core cast comedy? How many comedic premises are too many for a comedy series engine? Does character development make jokes funnier or is an extreme personality enough? (Hint: Ask Helen Keller). EASTER EGG— be sure to stick around for a bonus green room discussion after the podcast on "The Top 5 Tampon Replacement Items” #NotJoking
The new episode of "Another Period" airs tonight on Comedy Central @ 10:30p — but first...

| Mr. Robot | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:04:00 | |
"Your internet connection. It's good. So good it scratched that part of my mind, the part that doesn’t allow good to exist without condition. That’s when I decided to hack you." This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the new cyberpunk drama series on USA: “MR. ROBOT” What is the definition of the Cyberpunk anyway? One convention of cyberpunk is homage to other cyberpunk works-- can you count all of Mr. Robot's (Blade Runner, Neuromancer, The Matrix)? How do you write in a niche genre and keep a broad audience entertained when they have little genre precognition? #PhilipKDickReference What is a greater feat in screenwriting: making every scene end different from how the audience expects OR showing internal conflict in a visual medium through character choices under pressure? (HINT: Creator Sam Esmail knows how to do both). And find out where we thinking Mr. Robot ranks in the hall of fame for "Obligatory Computer Screen POV Hacking Shots" ps -ef | grep -i os12

| True Detective II: Pilot | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:01:47 | |
"I used to want to be an astronaut. But astronauts don’t even go to the moon anymore.” This week on The Script, our screenwriters analyze Episode 1 of True Detective: Season II. The noir detective anthology kicks off with a new cast, a new case, and a new flavor of desperation. This is a rare chance for screenwriters to examine a second Pilot Episode from the same tv series and writer. How does the Season 2 Pilot stack up next to the Season 1 Pilot? How does showrunner Nic Pizzolatto violate and innovate the film noir detective genre? What are the opportunities and challenges of writing an anthology series? How do you calibrate prestige writing like True Detective with an American TV audience that expects a dynamite teaser and Matthew McConaughey to walk in the door? What are we looking forward to in episode 2? Some more Da Vinci Code puzzles, some more mythology, more brass knuckles, more boot knives, and yes…”the bike, sir. The highway— because it suits me.”

| Jurassic World | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:31:20 | |
"Monster is a relative term. To a canary, a cat is a monster. We're just used to being the cat. RUUUN!” This week on a T-Rex sized episode of The Script, our screenwriters analyze Jurassic World-- the reboot / remake / sequel to the original Jeff Goldblum chaos theory and open shirt vehicle: Jurassic Park (1993). Does Jurassic World pay enough homage to PARK in terms of, not just easter eggs, but dramatic themes? What's the key to escalating set pieces and renewing awe in a monster movie? (HINT: mo' dino-antagonists, mo' problems) How does Jurassic World stack up in the comedy department next to the new generation of Action/Comedy tentpoles like Guardians & Avengers? Do you remember the Steven Spielberg "Rule of Monster Reveal"? JW did. And four white males respond to the Bryce Dallas Howard high-heel controversy. WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE WORLD!

| Sense8 | 04 Sep 2016 | 01:26:00 | |
"I take everything I am feeling, everything that matters to me, I push all of it into my fist, and I fight for it." This week on THE SCRIPT, we analyze the pilot of the new science fiction drama series created by The Wachowskis and now streaming on Netflix: Sense8. Are there structural differences between a pilot written for cable and a pilot written for binge-watching on a streaming network? What exactly is the lineage between Sense8 and "Cloud Atlas", the Wachowskis previous ensemble drama about interconnectedness? What are the pitfalls in a multi-plot, ensemble drama, transitioning between globe hopping plots with differing dramatic tones and varying levels of stakes? How well do the creators of Sense8 navigate writing their transgender characters to avoid television’s favorite new stereotype (HINT: the series does a better job than the pilot)? But we think any drama that can reference Conan the Barbarian and Jean Claude Van Damme, combine Bollywood dance numbers and Mexican Telenovelas, then cap it all off with a visceral icelandic Sigur Rós set piece is worth tuning in for 12 episodes.
sensate adj. ˈsen-ˌsāt - preoccupied with things that can be experienced only through a sense modality.

| Mad Max: Fury Road | 02 Jun 2015 | 01:02:29 | |
"I myself will carry you to the gates of Valhalla... you will ride eternal, shiny, and chrome!” This week on The Script, our script doctors analyze the resurrection of our favorite 80’s dystopian franchise with Mad Max: Fury Road. Is this possibly the biggest budget independent film of all time? If there is no screenplay does it mean there is no screenwriting? What is the right action scene / character development scenes ratio (Hint: don’t ask Man of Steel, ask Fury Road)? Why is a lack of exposition actually respectful of your audience? This film has all the elements… Blood, Water, Milk, Oil, and Chrome. Flaming Guitarist for President 2016!

| Avengers: Age of Ultron | 10 May 2015 | 01:21:27 | |
"The city is flying, we’re fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow. None of this makes sense.” This week on The Script, our script doctors analyze the tentpole of all summer tentpoles-- Avengers: Age of Ultron. We meditate on the skills of Joss Whedon. Is Avengers a big ass movie or is it effectively a multi-plot, ensemble television series? Does Joss’ single comedic voice across characters get old or does it function as a unifier for a complex story? What are the constraints of writing in a massive transmedia property? What is the screenwriter's perspective on The Black Widow controversy that’s swept the internet? And the cameos, oh so many cameos! Can you handle some big green Hulk love? "Fortunately, I am mighty."

| While We're Young | 22 Apr 2015 | 01:24:09 | |
“Yeah. After thirty-five it’s a shit show.” This week on The Script— two New Yorkers analyze the latest movie from indie film darling Noah Baumbach. Where does "While We’re Young” fall in Baumbach’s pantheon of adult coming-of-age dramas (The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding, Greenberg, and Frances Ha)? Are we looking for the next Woody Allen? Does "While We’re Young" lampoon or represent the new New York? Is Baumbach hailing or decrying the modern era of documentary film in his fictional yet strikingly autobiographical narrative? If you don’t know what Ayahuasca is, now you know. Watching Naomi Watts and Ben Stiller technicolor yodel while tripping balls was priceless.

| It Follows | 02 Apr 2015 | 01:14:35 | |
"It doesn't think. It doesn't feel. It doesn't give up." This week on The Script Podcast, "It Follows" -- the sophomore effort from auteur David Robert Mitchell represents a movement towards more intelligent, modern horror films. "It Follows" is also Mitchell's love letter to classic horror, but does he represent Detroit? What does a strong female protagonist in a modern horror film need beside a scream and a great body? Two words, “super power." Do we get that in Maika Monroe's ingenue? How does 'anxiety horror' compare to traditional 'jump out' or 'gross out' horror? Also we talk Monster taxonomy, is ‘the follower’ a demon, a ghost, or ambiguous supernatural power? "It Follows" doesn't offer much in advice for safe sex, but our script doctors don't mind giving some.

| CHAPPiE | 19 Mar 2015 | 01:18:33 | |
“Why did you build me to die maker?" The Script Podcast is back! CHAPPIE is the latest dystopian sci-fi allegory from South African auteur Neill Blomkamp. On this episode of The Script we discuss the self-aware robot movie sub-genre, how all great stories employ surrogate family dynamics, and also how to spell anthropomorphize. Does this film suffer from “protagonist confusion” ? Is this a low end sci-fi thriller or a fancy coming of age drama? Will David cut Corey’s microphone on his first podcast appearance? Chappie’s got a bigger heart than Robocop— but not a bigger gun.
