Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Arndt

Want to write a great screenplay? Little Miss Sunshine writer Michael Arndt shares secrets from Pixar, Hollywood, and a decade of script doctoring! What We Discuss with Michael Arndt: Success in screenwriting often requires extreme persistence and resilience — Michael Arndt wrote 10 screenplays over 10 years before selling Little Miss Sunshine, and even then did about 100 drafts of that script before it was ready. The best stories often create a "tilted universe" where the protagonist is a response to or antidote to the negative values of their world (like Robin Hood emerging in response to an unjust system, or The Dude's laid-back nature contrasting with an aggressive world in The Big Lebowski). Audience feedback is crucial but challenging to balance — as Michael quotes Billy Wilder: "Individually they're idiots, but collectively they're a genius." You have to respect audience intelligence while still maintaining your creative vision. Great endings often work by creating a false binary (win/lose) and then revealing a surprising third option that exceeds audience expectations — like in Little Miss Sunshine where Olive neither wins nor loses but creates something entirely unexpected. Anyone can improve their storytelling by studying great stories and breaking them down systematically — Michael's own journey shows that storytelling is a craft that can be learned through careful analysis, practice, and continual refinement of understanding how stories work. His video essays on screenwriting (available on YouTube) offer concrete tools for developing these skills. And much more...

Join Josh and Jade in this latest episode as they journey into the heart of dystopia with their review of "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes." Directed by Francis Lawrence and penned by Michael Lesslie and Michael Arndt, this 2023 film serves as a prequel to the iconic Hunger Games series, delving into the origins of the tyrannical leader of Panem, President Snow, and his intriguing relationship with Lucy Gray Baird during the 10th Hunger Games. Starring Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Peter Dinklage, and an ensemble cast, this installment takes viewers back 64 years before the original film, offering a deeper understanding of the series' lore. But that's not all! Josh and Jade also explore the post-apocalyptic landscape of the new Amazon Prime TV series, "Fallout." Created by Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet, this gripping drama draws inspiration from the beloved video game franchise, promising thrills and suspense. Plus, they discuss David Bautista's upcoming role in the animated movie "Aang: The Last Airbender (2025)," eagerly anticipating which role he will play in the new film. Tune in for insightful commentary, lively banter, and plenty of trash-tastic moments as Josh and Jade dissect these dystopian tales.

In februari hadden we een exclusief gesprek met Michael Arndt in het Huis van de Auteurs. Arndt won een Oscar voor Little Miss Sunshine, werkte aan Star Wars en The Hunger Games en was betrokken bij het schrijfproces van klassiekers als Wall-E en Inside Out. Het script van Toy Story 3 leverde hem BAFTA- en Oscarnominaties op. Onze Raf Njotea sprak met Arndt over zijn eerste stappen in de filmwereld, zijn schrijftechnieken en hoe hij uitgroeide tot één van de meest getalenteerde vakmensen in Hollywood. Nadien volgde een Q&A. Bo Sels capteerde en monteerde het hele gesprek tot deze fraaie podcast. Enjoy!

It's the Little Movie That Could of 2006, “Little Miss Sunshine”! It shined at the Oscars, including a frankly totally deserved Best Supporting Actress nomination for Abigail Breslin and equally wholly deserved wins for Michael Arndt's screenplay and Alan Arkin as dirty grandpa. But there's also the way Toni Collette eats that popsicle and Greg Kinnear dealing with a kinky cop and Steve Carell and Paul Dano's misanthropic uncle and son making a connection on a pier before Olive's truly iconic dance routine. The movie is also riddled with featured ensemble standouts, from Linda to Kirby to Pam, and that score that just makes us want to do what we love and fuck the rest.

We talk about lava, character wounds, and emotional storytelling ALL THE TIME on the show, but it's important to remember: there's more to good storytelling than an emotionally juicy character. Today, Oscar-winner (and friend-of-the-show) Michael Arndt discusses this, along with trends he is noticing in the evolving world of 21st century cinema.

Little Miss Sunshine is a 2006 American tragicomedy road movie directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (in their directorial debut) from a screenplay written by Michael Arndt. The film stars an ensemble cast consisting of Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Paul Dano, Abigail Breslin, and Alan Arkin, all of whom play members of a dysfunctional family taking the youngest (Breslin) to compete in a child beauty pageant.

In our final episode of 2023, Michael Arndt – the acclaimed writer of films like Little Miss Sunshine and Star Wars: The Force Awakens – drops by for a two-hour dissection of his script for Toy Story 3 –a Pixar sequel that went to infinity and beyond when it came to thrills, laughter and emotion.  Directed by past Script Apart guest Lee Unkrich, the 2010 film could have repeated the formula that made past the franchise's previous films a global phenomenon, making instant icons out of Woody, Buzz and their found-family of fellow play-things. Instead, it leapt forward in time to find Andy, the toys' owner, all-grown up and about to head to college, heaping huge existential questions on fans' beloved characters. If a toy is retired to an attic, never to be played with again, what is their reason to be? What does it mean to be outgrown by people you love, who no longer love you in return?If that sounds heavy for what is ostensibly a kids' tale, wait till we remind you that Toy Story 3 was a movie set mostly in a brutal toy internment camp that ends with our heroes about to be incinerated. That boldness is why many regard the film as being “peak Pixar” – and can you blame them? Toy Story 3 capped a remarkable run of hits for the animation studio that included Ratatouille in 2007, Wall-E in 2008 and Up in 2009. No wonder Michael and co felt emboldened to take risks on this third instalment of the franchise – risks that reaped incredible storytelling rewards.Michael was picked by Pixar – presumably via email or a phone call, rather than a giant mechanical claw like the ones in Pizza Planet – because few storytellers do grounded emotion and dysfunctional families like he does. At the onset of his career, across three days in May 2000, he'd written a screenplay about a family on a road trip to New Mexico that became a monster hit. Little Miss Sunshine earned the Virginia-born screenwriter a Best Original Screenplay Oscar in 2006 and catapulted him onto the radar of Pixar, whose brain trust would soon begin cooking up a story for a third movie in their Toy Story franchise.In the conversation you're about to hear, Michael breaks down the many early iterations of this movie, including an abandoned Toy Story 3 from before his time on the project, in which the toys travel to Taiwan after Buzz is shipped there following a global product recall on the toy. We get into the machinations of Lotso Huggin' Bear, how the story is deep down one about parenthood and of course, that traumatising moment our heroes hold hands, staring down certain death.

To prepare for his upcoming appearance on our show, TSL is proud to rebroadcast a classic, Michael Ardnt's Act 1 Masterclass. Little Miss Sunshine's script, written by our guest Michael Arndt, won almost every major industry award, and for good reason. Its warmth, humor, and surefooted commitment to its themes makes it one of the finest scripts written this century. And SO many of those themes show up in Act 1. Michael has become a bit "obsessed" with act 1's lately, because it's our chance to maximize the "rooting interest" around our hero so that our audience has no choice but to keep watching. FOR MICHAEL'S (AMAZING) WEBSITE: https://www.pandemoniuminc.com/

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (2006), which is on Cinemax, Max and to buy/rent off Prime Video.

"Um verdadeiro perdedor é alguém que tem tanto medo de não ganhar que nem tenta" Pequena Miss Sunshine (2006) é um road movie, onde acompanhamos uma família quebrada fazendo dando o seu máximo para fazer com que Olive consiga chegar em um concurso de beleza que ela parece não ter chance de ganhar. A comédia se mistura com o drama de forma delicada, fazendo com que temas muito sensíveis possam ser apresentados para uma criança protegida pela sua própria inocência. O filme foi dirigido pela dupla Jonathan Dayton e Valerie Faris, casal que vem da indústria musical, mas que se aventurou no cinema inicialmente com Pequena Miss Sunshine (2006), tendo dirigido também alguns títulos menos expressivos como Ruby Sparks - A Namorada Perfeita (2012) e Guerra dos Sexos (2017). O roteiro é de Michael Arndt. Esse episódio do Enquadrando conta com a presença da equipe mais comum, onde Fabio Rangel, Daniel Cavalcanti, Gabriel Gaspar (Acabou de Acabar) e Rodrigo Carvalho discutem pontos sobre o filme, e o debate inclui: - Cultura da Competição; - Coaching; - Inocência como ferramenta do roteiro; - A busca da verdade por uma jornada ilógica; --- Apoie o Enquadrando: https://apoia.se/enquadrando Siga nossas redes sociais e expanda essa conversa! email: contato@acaboudeacabar.com.br Twitter: @enquadrando_ Instagram: @enquadrando_oficial Youtube: youtube.com/Enquadrando TikTok: @enquadrando_oficial --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/enquadrando/message

In 2023, the world will discover who is a songbird and who is a snake. The Image shows: Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird and Tom Blyth as Coriolanus Snow in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Photo Credit: Murray Close Return to The Hunger Games, the landmark film franchise that has earned over $3 billion globally, with Lionsgate's adaptation of Suzanne Collins' #1 New York Times Bestseller The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Years before he would become the tyrannical President of Panem, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) is the last hope for his fading lineage, a once-proud family that has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, the young Snow is alarmed when he is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), the girl tribute from impoverished District 12. But, after Lucy Gray commands all of Panem's attention by defiantly singing during the reaping ceremony, Snow thinks he might be able to turn the odds in their favor. Uniting their instincts for showmanship and newfound political savvy, Snow and Lucy Gray's race against time to survive will ultimately reveal who is a songbird, and who is a snake.

Hi, I'm Mark Cecil host of The Thoughtful Bro. I want to tell you about the podcast I'm launching. See, a long time ago I realized that the greatest thing on the face of the earth, at least to me, is storytelling. Storytelling is everywhere. It's in how we understand our planet, our country, our own bodies. Stories determine how we decide to vote, who to marry, what to eat, whether to fight a war, and quite simply, why to get out of bed in the morning. Stories don't just reflect our world. They actively create it. Storytelling is so fascinating to me, in fact, that pretty much my ideal social scenario is to go to a party, bump into a writer who's just put out a book, then whisk them away to a corner and spend the next 45 minutes or so, asking them about how and why they told the story that they did. That 45 minute download is, in essence, the Thoughtful Bro podcast. Every episode I'll spend time talking to a world class writer. I'll speak to award winning authors like George Saunders, Erik Larson, Jennifer Egan, and Mitch Albom. You'll hear from writers who've had their books turned into blockbuster TV shows and movies viewed by tens of millions of people: writers like Caroline Kepnes, whose books became the Netflix series "You," and Emily St. John Mandel, whose novel became the HBO show "Station Eleven." I'll talk to writers involved in current events, like Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman, who had a key role in Trump's first impeachment; and Former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Admiral James Stavridis, who recently tried his hand at fiction. I'll even talk to some of the most successful screenwriters working today—people like Michael Arndt, who wrote "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Toy Story 3," and David Koepp, who wrote "Jurassic Park," "Mission Impossible," and "Carlito's Way." Together, these are some of the most innovative and decorated storytellers to be found anywhere. They've won the Pulitzer Prize, The Man Booker Prize, The MacAurthur Genius Grant, the Academy Award and more. My interviews are wide ranging, fast moving, deep delving, and, I hope, entertaining. Think of the it as "Inside the Actors Studio"—but for storytellers. Oh, and one last thing. What about the name? The Thoughtful Bro? Well, that's me of course. As it turns out, being thoughtful and being bro-ish kind of go together like, say…a dinner jacket and a baseball hat. Like bourbon and Banksy. The first two episodes of The Thoughtful Bro will be dropping very soon. I hope you'll subscribe and check it out. In the meantime, stay thoughtful.

Kenny and Mike continue a series looking at Christ Figures in Film with the 2006 Film Little Miss Sunshine. The film won 2 Oscars, Alan Arkin for supporting actor and Michael Arndt for Screenplay.

You love road trips, we love road trips, everyone loves road trips, right? Well not the Hoover family, as they pack it into their VW Microbus and travel from New Mexico to California in 2006's Little Miss Sunshine. Richard (Greg Kinnear), Sheryl (Toni Collette), Dwayne (Paul Dano), and Grandpa (Alan Arkin), and Olive (Abigail Breslin) are the Hoovers, a modest family with a penchant for the dramatic. After Sheryl's brother Frank (Carell) tries to kill himself following a personal and professional tragedy, the Hoovers agree to take him in. But when Olive learns that she is a finalist in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant, the entire family knows they have to do what it takes to get her there to let her live her dreams. Alan Arkin and writer Michael Arndt won Oscars for their efforts, and Little Miss Sunshine went on to make over $100M on an $8M budget. But does it hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent debate micro-dosing with heroin and creepy as fuck child pageants as they see if this movie deserves a first-place prize, or if it should be left in the trunk wrapped in a sheet until we can figure out what to do with the rest of our lives.

Raconteuses, raconteurs, bonjour et bienvenue dans “LA MACHINE À ÉCRIRE", le podcast de celles et ceux qui créent des histoires, animé par Yannick Lejeune et Mike Cesneau.  Dans ce 3e épisode, nous avons le plaisir de recevoir Jérôme Genevray, l'un des deux coscénaristes de La Nuée, film de genre français à base de drame familiale et de sauterelles ! Depuis la quinzaine des réalisateurs à Cannes jusqu'au Prix de la critique et du public de Gérardmer, en passant par les Inrocks et Télérama, le long-métrage vient de réussir l'exploit de mettre d'accord spécialistes et spectateurs. Entre deux rencontres avec le public et en pleine promotion du film, Franck Victor, le deuxième scénariste, fait également une apparition dans cet épisode.  Avec eux, nous essayons d'en savoir plus sur l'écriture d'un film de genre. Comment écrit-on à deux ? Comment écrit-on une histoire qui fait peur ? Comment se crée le suspens ? Comment passe-t-on d'une comédie sociale à un film d'horreur ? La sauterelle est-elle l'avenir de l'homme ? Faut-il sauver le chat ? Voici quelques-unes des questions que nous abordons avec nos invités.     Nous parlons aussi de la structure en 3 actes, en 15 storybeats, des méthodes d'écriture qu'utilisent nos invités, comme celles de John Truby, Blake Snyder et Michael Arndt. Nous discutons avec eux de leurs influences, du travail de Saul Bass, d'Alien et même du Seigneur des anneaux.     Les méthodes et outils mentionnés dans cet épisode :  L'Anatomie du scénario par John Truby  Save The Cat par Blake Snyder  The Golden Theme par Brian McDonald  Endings: The Good, the Bad, and the Insanely Great    Causality   SimpleMind   Vous pouvez suivre l'actualité du podcast sur TWITTER :@lmae_podcast   Et nous retrouver sur INSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/yannick.lejeune/  https://www.instagram.com/mikecesneau/ 

Little Miss Sunshine's script, penned by our guest Michael Arndt, won almost every major industry award, and for good reason. Its warmth, humor, and surefooted commitment to its themes makes it one of the finest scripts written this century. And SO many of those themes show up in Act 1. Michael has become a bit "obsessed" with act 1's lately, because it's our chance to maximize the "rooting interest" around our hero so that our audience has no choice but to keep watching.  FOR MICHAEL'S (AMAZING) WEBSITE: https://www.pandemoniuminc.com/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thescreenwritinglife/support

[03:37] 'Gods and Heroes' with Charley and Vlas Parlapanides -Being a writer in film and television is all about work ethic and desire to tell stories. -Charley started as associate, but Vlas was writing and they started collaborating. -Writing is rewriting, so any scripts you get that give you something to read and learn from. -Selling a spec script is like selling a first draft, which is the opposite of novel production process. -Subjective vs. Objective notes in scriptwriting (feedback from the producers) -Diagnosing the problem based on the notes. -Learning to ‘take notes’ -Good writing is rewriting. -Don’t record your notes meetings…. -Staying in the game long enough for someone to roll you the ball. -Make it work. -The invisible steps of collaboration or teamwork. -The only rule is the Best Idea Wins. -Building large arcs within your story to achieve the narrative arc from beginning to the end. -In network tv, you have to close all the loops. -In series tv, each episode has to have miniature arcs. -The tv show Story Document and outline. -The outline isn’t always gospel; the story is king. -Scripts vs. budgets. -A movie is never finished, but abandoned. -Michael Arndt breaks down Star Wars -You can be a slave to structure in a movie format. -A tv show pilot has to have a solid structure AND launch the series. -Nancy Miller advocates that the first ACT/first twenty pages of the pilot have to grab the viewer into the series. -Length of a script doesn’t matter.

Jonathan and Matt are, like the rest of you, in isolation at the moment. Safely ensconced in their own homes across the Atlantic, they decided it was time to do a miniseries of films that feel a little too relatable right now. Not to make light of the scary situation we all currently find ourselves in the midst of, but rather to make this time of contemplation a little more enjoyable. The guys as that you seek out the films or, in some cases, you avoid them and then listen to our mini-sodes.

Inför dagens avsnitt har vi tittat på manusförfattaren Michael Arndts videoanalys av hur A New Hope slutar. Videon är ett måste för alla filmnördar och aspirerande manusförfattare (eller om du helt enkelt bara gillar filmskapande), så om du inte har sett den och vill hänga med lite extra i dagens diskussion, se den omedelbart på länken nedan! http://www.pandemoniuminc.com/endings-video Att A New Hope har ett fantastiskt slut (är en fantastisk film!) är vi ganska överens om men hur Arndt kommer fram till detta finns det en del att säga om. Michael Arndt var även den manusförfattare som först fick i uppdrag att skriva The Force Awakens, och han är krediterad som filmens författare tillsammans med JJ Abrams och Lawrence Kasdan. Dagen till ära gör vi därför ett entusiastiskt, om än inte fullt lika akademiskt, försök till att applicera Arndts teorier om vad som gör ett bra filmslut på hans eget alster, dvs The Force Awakens. Vi fortsätter även följa Star Wars: Resistance. I diskussionen om veckans avsnitt "The Doza Dilemma" får vi anledning att ta en djupare titt på hur hologramkommunikation egentligen fungerar i en galax långt långt borta...

For the first episode of OnWriting, we spoke with Academy Award-winning screenwriter Michael Arndt about his video lecture, ENDINGS: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE INSANELY GREAT. Michael’s first feature-length screenplay – LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE – earned him the Oscar and the Writers Guild Award for Best Original Screenplay. His other credits include TOY STORY 3, THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE, and STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. His video lecture, ENDINGS, explores how great film endings work through a close analysis of the climaxes of STAR WARS, THE GRADUATE, and LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.

How can characters be their own antagonist? In Part Two of our Five Part Epic Exploration™ into antagonists, Chas & Stu take a look at "vs self" stories. Stories where the protagonist (or main character) serves as their own antagonist as well as the antagonist for those around them. It took us a long time to settle on our homework, but we ended up exploring LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, SHAME, and MONSTER. Our discussion continues in backmatter with MINDHUNTER and STEVE JOBS. As a result of our exploration, we manage to get a better understanding of our 'thesu' on: internal vs external change; obstacles and pressure; stories without singular antagonists; and how it really is the antagonistic forces that carve out the protagonist’s journey.

The Damn Dirty Geeks continue our ongoing discussion about the STAR WARS cinematic universe with our official review episode on THE FORCE AWAKENS. While we recorded this episode last December just after THE FORCE AWAKENS blasted into theaters for a billion-dollar box office run, we delayed publishing it to give as many STAR WARS fans and DDG listeners to see the film. The wait is over, and the Geeks' lightsabers are clashing in full-force now! Frank, Jack, Scott, Trish and Frank dive deep into THE FORCE AWAKENS for all its strengths and potential weaknesses in jumpstarting the feature franchise again. We reach a consensus about liking the film, but engage in lively debate about how the contributions of director J.J. Abrams and writers Michael Arndt and Lawrence Kasdan shaped the story of Episode VII and the next two films ahead. Many of our main plot predictions from our previous STAR WARS podcasts came true in THE FORCE AWAKENS, though the film yielded many surprises as well, for better and occasionally worse. Our discussions/arguments arise over: the Abrams/TREK-like science warping of the First Order's solar weapon; the clouded mystery surrounding Snoke's true identity; how and who is training Kylo Ren in the ways of the Force; and how is Rey tapping into the Force without any training -- just for starters! We also have much to say about the performance of Harrison Ford as an older, evolved Han Solo, along with the younger cast including Oscar Issac, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega. On the other hand, why did Max von Sydow and Gwendoline Christie get so short-changed in their roles? Was there too much overlap between THE FORCE AWAKENS and the Original Trilogy films, or were the similarities very deliberate to help erase the disappointments of the Prequel films?We answer these and many other questions amid one of our most raucous, high-spirited and laugh-filled podcast episodes yet. Be sure to listen to our episode on THE FORCE AWAKENS before (and after!) it arrives on Blu-ray, DVD and On-Demand in early April.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been a record-smashing box office success, a reinvigoration of the movie side of franchise for longtime fans, a launching point for new fans of all ages – and the origin story of a fan-favorite new character in Star Wars, Rey. The film’s plot structure and protagonist’s character arc also provide an excellent touchstone for examining one of the iconic features in discussions of storytelling: the Hero’s Journey. In this special edition of Hyperspace Theories, we use the prominent Hero’s Journey frameworks by academic Joseph Campbell and screenwriting consultant Christopher Vogler to analyze the elements of Rey’s progression from Jakku scavenger to Jedi apprentice over the course of The Force Awakens. Along the way we compare Rey’s story to other well-known examples of the Hero’s Journey, including Luke Skywalker, Katniss Everdeen, and Dorothy Gale. This episode will appeal to fans of Star Wars intrigued by the deep storytelling themes in The Force Awakens, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the Hero’s Journey in modern storytelling.

Y también pueden escucharnos ahora en Stitcher y enTune In. Ha pasado bastante tiempo desde que Disney explotó una franquicia económicamente redituable (algo así como unas semanas). Para solucionarlo decide lanzar el primero episodio de una nueva serie en donde nos cuenta que pasó después del final de la trilogía original, exprimir los bolsillos del espectador y ahuyentar de las salas de cine a quien quiera ver algo que no sea Star Wars, ya que se encuentra en el 90% de la cartelera. Hace unos días en twiter escribía como soy parte de una generación privilegiada en la que puedo volver a ver las películas que disfruté de niño, pero con otros actores. En ese momento no había visto El Despertar de la Fuerza y me refería más a los remakes constantes de cine ochentero, sin embargo la frase conserva su mismo valor con la cinta dirigida por J.J. Abrams. Es interesante como al ver uno de los featuretes sobre Star Wars y el proceso de producción, tanto el mismo Abrams como su esposa se refieren al director como el amo del remake o de la secuela, e incluso bromean que tras la producción de su entrega de La Guerra de las Galaxias tendrían que buscar el trabajo de alguien más para continuarlo o revivirlo. ¿Es ese el caso de esta cinta? Los fans acérrimos dirán que no. Claro, los mismos fans acérrimos disculparán cualquier falla de la obra y dirán que no la entendimos o no sabemos apreciarla. De la misma manera los haters no pararán en indicar sus errores. De manera completamente subjetiva puedo decir que Star Wars: The Force Awakens es una cinta entretenida, narrada de una manera más que efectiva y probablemente tiene el mejor ritmo, al compararlas con sus seis antecesoras. Por cierto, les recuerdo que a partir de hoy, todas las demás cintas son precuelas, así que dejen de darse baños de exquisitez al decir que “las precuelas son malas”. Para la realización de esta cinta tanto Disney como Abrams decidieron irse por una línea muy segura. A final de cuentas aunque es un hecho que la cinta y sus eventuales secuelas van a generar millones en taquilla, lo ideal es generar una visión positiva de la nueva generación para recuperar los cuatro mil millones de dólares de inversión lo más pronto posible. Para hacerlo es que el guión está elaborado tanto por el mismo Abrams como por Lawrence Kasdan y Michael Arndt. Uno escritor de las cintas más representativas de la trilogía original y otro ayudó a alimentar al Sinsajo franquiciatario en una de sus entregas. De la misma manera la composición musical viene de la mano de John Williams, cuyo uso de trompet

How does the end of certain films make your soul shudder? Stu and Chas are joined by their first guest – illustrious script developer and producer Stephen Cleary – to explore how certain films can trigger an outpouring of emotion from the audience. Turns out that Aristotle may have figured it out a few thousand years ago and called it Catharsis. To examine how Catharsis can be triggered by a sequence of fixed beats, Stu, Chas and Stephen zone in on the last few pages of FIELD OF DREAMS, TOY STORY 3 and SE7EN. And Stu brings up FROZEN. Again.

This week, we discuss the latest Episode VII news including the replacement of screenwriter Michael Arndt and rumors about the return of Harrison Ford to the Star Wars franchise.  Dark Horse Comic's writer / artist Zack Giallongo is In The Cantina to talk about his new book Ewoks: Shadows of Endor;  Darth Vader actor David Prowse shares some of his memories, or lack thereof, from the set of Return of the Jedi in our Investigative Report, and what's up with that animated film about fairies that Lucasfilm has been developing for the last few years?  All this plus long lost RoTJ footage, RFR T-Shirts, RADIO 1138, and The Billy Dee Quote of the Week!

In this week's episode we discuss the promotion for Anchorman 2 (1:59), the scandal involving ABC's Scandal (8:40), and Michael Arndt leaving Star Wars VII (13:15). We also wind down The Good Wife's "Hitting the Fan" (20:25), The Michael J. Fox Show's "Teammates" (32:04), and Masters of Sex's "Catherine" (47:29).

TJ wraps up the week with a look back at the box office report — crazy enough, ‘Gravity' has been the number one film for 3 weeks in a row. Can it pull off a fourth? We'll see. Robin Williams is in talks for Night at the Museum 3'. In other news, ‘Night at the Museum 3' is happening? Cool. Paul Greengrass responded to crew members and critics of his film ‘Captain Phillips' that it was a white-wash job on the good captain. And a fine response it was. TJ has some theories about why Agent Coulson is still alive and active in Marvel's TV Show ‘Agents of SHIELD'. Ben Kingsley is set to return to Marvel for an undisclosed project of some kind, presumably revising his role from ‘Iron Man 3'. ‘The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes' will begin production in 2014 — because apparently the production company behind it wants to commit suicide… Michael Arndt has departed ‘Star Wars VII' as writer. TJ hopes this isn't a bad sign. And of course, find out what's new and what to see this weekend.

Lucia and Kyle discuss all things Dexter. Since this was recorded on Thursday, November 8th, they had not yet seen Sunday's latest episode, "Chemistry." Discussion starts with season 6 of Dexter, reflecting on the series on a whole. At about 28:21 in, they start referencing plot points from the season 7 premiere, but season 7 discussion begins in earnest at about 46:30. At that point, this podcast contains spoilers for episodes up to 7x06, "Do the Wrong Thing."At the end of the podcast they finish things up with discussion of Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm, at the 1:39: 44 mark. Had to do it. Again, this was recorded last Thursday, so the news that Michael Arndt had been brought on to write the screenplay for Episode VII had not yet been released.
