EPISODE 079 - Schadenfrenzy

This week's non-movie topic:
"Just like November gives would-be novelists a taste of writing under deadline, thanks to the Office of Letters and Light, April gives script writers a chance to try their hands at pounding out pages of drivel at a furious pace. Whether you're writing a movie, a play, audio drama, or even comic book, to win all you have to do is write 100 pages of a script... in just 30 days. If you're a first time participant, you have NO idea what you've just gotten yourself into when you signed up for... Script Frenzy."

EPISODE 076 - SMT #19: Practical Magic

SPECIFIC MOVIE TALK

Specific Movie Talk:
"You may recall that in the middle of 2008, I ran a contest to pick the Specific Movie Talk for August. The movie that was sent in most frequently was ultimately not the movie voted as the winner. However, I decided in my massive wisdom -- or ego -- that with one movie getting so many suggestions, I would be a fool not to have that as one of the talks... so this month, you can thank TC, Samantha, Terri, and Wendiigo as flick-a-brac proudly presents... Practical Magic."
