Episode 102 - Armies and Mobs as Characters

<p>In this episode, the two Matts sell a special device that zaps the procrastination out of you to an unhealthy degree, relay all the back-breaking work it took to write, edit, and arrange the 100th episode skit, relish in the prospect of a seven-year season for a TV show, and talk about armies and mobs as characters in the next of our set about incredibly minor characters. What are the ways armies can be more than featureless blobs for the heroes to churn through like butter? What are the different personalities you can give a nebulous mass? How can the writer show the traits of so many characters without bogging down the narrative? How many years/decades will it take Matt David to write Star Burst Season 2 with his co-writer? We discuss it all, with a real mob of listeners every week I assure you, and talk about Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Mulan, and Jurassic World.</p> <p>Want to further support the show?
