Christopher Booker

Well, there's like the 636 dramatic situations, and you can find yourself in those 36.

Um, but then there's like Christopher Booker said that there's like seven different, um, like story archetypes.

There's like overcoming the monster, the quest, voyage and return, rags to riches, rebirth, comedy and tragedy.

There's so many different ones, but like you can look through these and like most of the stories you read will end up fitting in some way, shape, or form into these like different th- Like people have analyzed stories for-

And I think that that's something that the first three Indiana Jones films really hit well on, but is something that's been missed in A, a lot of other adventure, and B, a lot of the subsequent Indiana Jones films.

The other is that the basic plot, I have Christopher Booker's The Seven Basic Plots back there.

And one of them, the very first one, is considered like one of the most transcendent just plot that we as people understand, humankind, which is overcoming the monster.

If we look at the Epic of Gilgamesh, Beowulf, Perseus, most of the labors of Hercules are about there's a monster and we need to defeat it.

And that leans really into what I like about horror in the sense that I'm not a big blood and guts guy, but I love the sense of there's something out there that we have to fight, defeat, that's kind of otherworldly uncommon.

And in the book, Christopher Booker actually leans it into James Bond.

He's like, Dr.

No is the monster.
