Aline Brosh McKenna kindly but emphatically telling that listener it’s not gonna happen on the latest episode of Scriptnotes is the kind of content more of these screenwriting podcasts need

@abmck.bsky.social Hi Aline (if you're listening). On the latest episode of Scriptnotes with @johnaugust.bsky.social you recommended a rareform bag. The link in the shownotes is a general link to rareform's website. As a bagman I'm curious as to which bag you preferred

Lastly, just wanted to remind you both of 'Ugly Betty,' a comedy about a NON-white young woman who worked at a magazine! ❤️
Thanks as always for the awesome conversation! (4/4)

Yep. I was thinking about that part too. The ScriptNotes podcast guys have been making some good distinctions about it — mostly using it for things that otherwise take hours or are boring — but not replacing human work.

I’ve been a witness to (and a target of) some of the most unhinged bonkers screenwriting scammers out there. I’ve been sued for platforming criticism. I’ve been doxxed. I consider that guy to be top tier crazy.
That doesn’t compare to this guy Sir Marco I’m hearing about on Scriptnotes. Holy BALLS.

The paywall has dropped on @johnaugust.bsky.social's 5AM StoryTalk bonus episode. The screenwriter and Scriptnotes co-host returns to break down a favorite piece of art from his life - the pilot episode of “MODERN FAMILY” (2009). How does it hold up 16 years later in Trump's America?

I love the latest ep of Scriptnotes where Nora Garrett talks about getting feedback on her first feature sample. That “sample” got her signed to a manager and is now a film starring Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield.

I regularly listen to a podcast about screenwriting called Scriptnotes. They have talked about this as basically always being insufficient.

John said 10 pages in. He noted Scriptnotes has the THREE-Page Challenge, so hooking readers before page 10 might be wise, too.
