Goodnight Mommy
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
"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? We deconstruct the duality mind game of this intricately woven and horrible tale and remind you what Checkov said: if you bring a jar of Madagascar hissing cockroaches on to the stage, then someone has to eat one. #reconstructivesurgery #Madagascar hissing cockroaches #Halloween #horror #bloodydisgusting

Contracted & Contracted: Phase II
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
"Does that feel okay? It kind of tingles. It's tingling?" - This week on THE SCRIPT we start our Halloween Horror series with the IFC Midnight franchise Contracted & Contracted: Phase II. What are the opportunities and obligations when sequelizing a successful horror concept? What defines "body horror" as a sub-genre? How does the Contracted franchise fair against its Sexually Transmitted cousin "It Follows" (Previously reviewed HERE on The Script). The Script Halloween Horror Series is for all you bloody disgusting freaks. P.S. We're starting a new band called "Debbie and The Rash." #KYMggots #Halloween #horror #bloodydisgusting

Straight Outta Compton
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
"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

THE SCRIPT Podcast: Fantastic Four (Live)
“Please don't blow up, please don't blow up...” -- Reed Richards -- This week on THE SCRIPT, there was nothing Mr. Fantastic could do to salvage the biggest box office self detonation of the summer: FANTASTIC FOUR. What are the 5 elements every Superhero Tentpole should be judged by? How ‘invisible’ did the blockbuster’s only female character turn out to be? What is our expert screenwriters theory on the “1 Year Later” business? Also we address the Josh Trank controversy and discuss The Thing’s... ya know… ‘thing.’ This superhero sized episode of THE SCRIPT was recorded Live in front of an audience in New York City and includes a Q&A with our audience and users on the live stream. #NYCSC #Marvel #FantasticFour @joshuatrank
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
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
“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

Trainwreck
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
"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!

Sunday Sep 04, 2016
"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!

Jurassic World
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
Sunday Sep 04, 2016
"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!

Guardians Of The Galaxy
Sunday Aug 31, 2014
Sunday Aug 31, 2014
"We... are... Groot." Guardians of the Galaxy is Marvel Studios' first attempt at a tentpole Action/Comedy and if you look at the box office results, it appears to be a risk that has really paid off. Our script doctors David Negrin, Chris Durham, and Keith Miller analyze whether Marvel's foray into the extended Marvel Galactic Universe also paid off on the story level. Did the film succeed due to Chris Pratt's comedy chops, well honed on Parks & Recreation? Was it due to director James Gunn's "Avengers like" balance of his ensemble cast where everyone shines but none too bright? (then adding relentless cameos including one of our favorite ducks of all time) Or is it something deeper, something systemic, something 'shiny'-- is it Whedonism? We try to decipher the secret sauce Marvel has been feeding us that's turning the whole world into comic book fans.

Ep 10: HER, Frances Ha, “Women Where Art Thou?”
Sunday Feb 02, 2014
Sunday Feb 02, 2014
"We are only here briefly, and in this moment I want to allow myself joy." -- This week on THE SCRIPT, the Collective's organizer David Negrin and its spec script Czar Mike De Luca analyze "Her," the beautiful, innovative romance from the imagination of Spike Jonze. Also Talaiya Safdar and Denise Papas focus their newly branded Between The Sheets with Talaiya & Denise segment on the theme "Woman Where Art Thou? The current state of female characters in screenwriting." Mike also gives us a Tracking-Board update on the latest spec script buzz and sales this winter. Then from the Baron's Corner, a review of "Frances Ha," a thoughtful meditation on a notion not completely unfamiliar to the Baron, that of being 'undateable.'
How does Spike Jonze's meticulous, unwinding narrative neutralize the disadvantage of Her's female romantic lead never appearing on screen? How does the film's futurism and Neo-1930's aesthetic elevate a story that uses all the classic conventions of a romance but manage to re-invent them for our time? Also, who are the 3 HERs? Next Denise and Talaiya deal out an empirical smack down on how under-represented, under-written female characters in scripts are both financially foolish and just plain bull shit. Listen and learn precisely how female characters who pass the Bechdel test make for better scripts and better box office receipts. Lastly, the Baron gently strokes the narrative of "Frances Ha" with a wonderful review-- as close to Greta Gerwig as he's ever gonna get.

Ep 9: American Hustle - Script to Screen & 2013's Biggest Flops
Sunday Jan 12, 2014
Sunday Jan 12, 2014
BULLSHIT-- It's not bullshit, I read it in an article. The following podcast is the true story of two different loosely based true stories told by two storytellers in two different ways but both inspired by one real life event. Probably. David and Jeremy analyze the evolution of the film "American Hustle" by David O. Russel from the acclaimed Blacklisted script "American Bullshit" by screenwriter Eric Warren Singer. How does Singer employ and innovate the conventions of the Heist/Con Artist film genre? What were the positive effects of David O. Russel re-working all the major relationships from the original script? What were the effects of leaving out so much of the original dialog? And what does every heist film need at the end of the story? THEN-- our dynamic duo of lady script doctors analyze the biggest flops of 2013. Denise and Talaiya run down the checklist of screenwriter mistakes you'll want to avoid to keep your script ending up like "The Big Wedding", "Trance", and "Paranoia," our biggest misses of the year.

Ep 8: Catching Fire, Reaching for the Moon, Dysfunctional Family Holiday Flicks
Wednesday Dec 11, 2013
Wednesday Dec 11, 2013
CHINS UP, SMILES ON! It's time for our quixotic quorum on the quarter quell. This week on the The Script, the founders of the Collective try to shoot arrows at Catching Fire, our armchair psychologist script doctors analyze dysfunctional family holiday flicks with deviant structures, we get a Tracking-Board update on all the buzz and spec sales this fall, and a great review of a new indie from Brazilian auteur Bruno Barreto, "Reaching For The Moon" by Tawny herself-- as The Baron was tied up for the moment.
How do the stakes in the 3rd Act of Catching Fire compare to the original Hunger Games finale? Can Katniss replicate the strength and dramatic depth of Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone? Aren't you glad you're not spending your Holidays with the Royal Tenenbaums? Why "Reaching for the Moon" is the must see lesbian romance alternative to that Blue movie. And no Baron, you cannot have another cookie-- eat your rodent porridge, wrap up your shackles, and back to the dungeon for you.
