Scriptnotes

Yeah.

Well, uh, on the screenwriting podcast, Scriptnotes, this week, they were talking about one room movies.

And, you know, this falls into that classic, uh, which we've done a lot of, one house movies.

Right.

[upbeat music] Hello and welcome.

My name is John August, and this is Scriptnotes, a podcast about screenwriting and things that are interesting to screenwriters.

Famous people, they're just like us, or are they? As screenwriters, we sometimes need to interact with celebrities, from movie stars to iconic directors.

How do we go from starstruck to star collaborating? And why is it that when we depict celebrities in movies and television, we often get it so wrong? Today on the show, we have a returning guest who is uniquely qualified to answer these questions.

Taffy Brodesser-Akner is a journalist who has profiled countless celebrities.

She's also the novelist and series creator of Fleishman Is In Trouble and Long Island Compromise.

Welcome back to Scriptnotes, Taffy.

It's so great to be here.

Mm-hmm

... episode of Scriptnotes.

They had Paul Downs and Luc- Lucia Aniello, who are the showrunners, creators, writers, directors, and stars.

I mean, Paul has a big part.

Did you listen to the episode?

No.

Do you listen to Scriptnotes?

Sometimes, but yeah.

My name's Craig Mazin.

And this is episode 748 of Scriptnotes.

Recently, Craig, we talked about road movies, where characters constantly find themselves in new locations.
