722 - Orality, or Writing to be Spoken
Category: TV & Film
Duration: 00:53:45
Publish Date: 2026-01-27 16:00:00
Description:

John and Craig ask, are screenwriters just oral storytellers who happen to write things down? They compare the literate and oral markers of the medium, how it separates screenplays from other literary forms, and consider whether screenplays are just one long pitch.

We also look at the upcoming WGA member meetings, follow up on having enough time in the edit bay, Steve Jobs, Eva Victor, justifiable Dad pride, and answer listener questions on deliverables and what makes a script "undeniable."

In our bonus segment for premium members, we look at the incredible slate of upcoming movies and make predictions for the 2026 box office.
