Kerry Cassidy finally addressed the “baseball hat to the skull of a friend” in the room on this installment of the Mark Richard saga. Kerry discussed the case at length and even while stating the monumentally dumb out loud she fails to realize she's been hoodwink or perhaps even bamboozled. Kerry is the real life version of the people in the Hitman games where they hear you snap a man's neck inches away from them but decide it must have just been the breeze and go about their business. No amount of warning signs are sufficient for Kerry to realize she's been peddling nonsense. Join us in this weeks Space Weirdo Friday as we get closer to a modern day Kerry who has still yet to develop any critical thinking skills.

Host Jeff Goldsmith interviews co-writer and co-creator Mark Richard about the WGA nominated TV Series The Good Lord Bird. Download my podcast here

In 2013, author James McBride published a remarkable book about Henry Shackleford, an enslaved person who united with John Brown and his abolitionist mission. The book was called 'The Good Lord Bird.' Producer Jeremy Gold (Sharp Objects) encouraged 'Hell on Wheels' screenwriter Mark Richard to read the book. “He put the book in my hands, and I read it in one sitting,” said Richard. Little did Richard know, Gold had also spoken to actor Ethan Hawke (Training Day, Before Sunrise) about the book, which he and his wife had also read in a single serving. Thanks to their mutual love for the book, a brunch meeting was set up and by 2020, the limited series his Showtime. In this interview, Hawke and Richard discuss their love for Sam Peckinpah, how to introduce a character like John Brown, the challenges of writing a tragicomedy, why you must be passionate about an adaptation, and what it means to play the fool. — Look for the print version of this interview on Creative Screenwriting’s website, and, if it’s your first time listening, make sure to subscribe and visit my new website for information on the YouTube channel, the blog, this podcast, and my new book ‘Ink by the Barrel’ which takes advice from these 200+ interviews at the link below… Join the email list here: www.writerfieldnotes.com You can also now find us on Instagram: @CreativePrinciples — This episode is brought to you by Author Builder.

Boy, the '90s are just flying by! We're already up to 1994, a year marked by tragedy (Kurt Cobain, Nicole Brown Simpson) and triumph (Mike's high school graduation). Our reading this week is a short story by Rick Moody, "The Grid." We talk about the story's unconventional structure, its musical voice, and its Gen X-era references. Mike also admits to having read this story aloud to multiple girlfriends (he was young! it was a different time!) In publishing news this week, we take a deep dive into the story of a first novel, Fishboy, to see how a debut novelist was being marketed and promoted by a big press circa 1994. The New York Times did a multi-part series on the book's launch, providing a step-by-step look at how author Mark Richard tried to sell the book, and himself, to the reading public. We've also got video game news, font news (the birth of Comic Sans!), and for 90s Movie Club Mike is revisiting Reality Bites and wondering how Gen X was somehow erased from the public consciousness.

Pulphead (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) by Sullivan; House of Prayer No. 2 (Nan A. Talese) by Richard Fans of kick-ass, can't-put-it-down nonfiction, take note: This event combines the funny, probing, insightful cultural musings of John Jeremiah Sullivan with the riveting Gothic-styled memoir of Mark Richard. "Pulphead is upsettingly good. It's the most inspired book of essays since David Foster Wallace's A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. John Jeremiah Sullivan perceives the world with so much original wit and energy that when I put this book down, the roll of duct tape on my desk suddenly seemed like it might be full of funny secrets. I'm grateful that Sullivan is doing such outlandishly brilliant, enlivening stuff." —Wells Tower "Read Richard's amazing memoir House of Prayer No. 2 -- read it as soon as you can, you'll barrel through it -- and you'll know after just two pages of his effortlessly killer prose that he's special all right ... Narrating, mostly, through the best use of second-person urgency since Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City, he describes being a disc jockey, a deckhand, a private eye, a ditchdigger. The man can tell a full story in the flick of a phrase ... Hallelujah.
