567 - No Stars, Please

<p>John and Craig discuss movie and television stars. When do you want to cast a huge star, and when is it not a good idea? From big names in small parts to new names in big parts, they try to calculate how much fame a role requires.</p> <p>We follow up on the editing process and share advice on staying nimble. We also answer listener questions on recorded pitches, writing left behind, and time management with multiple contracts.</p> <p>In our bonus segment for premium members, we play a round of Two Truths and a Lie to test our deception skills.</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li>Get tickets for the Scriptnotes Live Show <a href= "https://www.eventbrite.com/e/scriptnotes-live-tickets-412411342427?mc_cid=a8cb30ff80&mc_eid=7f069b381e">Livestream</a></li> <li><a href="https://bit.ly/3qO8vRB">Order Writer Emergency Pack XL here</a>!</li> <li>Learn more about the original <a href= "https://writeremergency.com/">Writer Emergency Pack here</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.wga.org/members/employment-resources/no-writing-left-behind"> WGA No Writing Left Behind</a></li> <li><a href= "https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/davidmack/nicole-kidman-amc-ad"> A Year Ago, Nicole Kidman Tried To Save The Movies.
