Episode 109 - Ambiguous Endings

<p>In this episode, the two Matts listen to the hottest daytime soap opera about writers, gush over certain children's juice drinks, congratulate an actor for his recent personal announcement, and talk about ambiguous endings in the next of our set about resolutions. What's the benefit of leaving something deliberately ambiguous or unresolved? What kind of stories would this work best? How much should you leave off the table versus how much you explain? Why does Matt Donald have such a seething unreasonable hatred for these types of endings? We discuss it all, while remaining ambiguous as to why we bother continuing this stupid podcast, and talk about The Fountain, Inception, Cast Away, and The Birds.</p> <p>Want to further support the show?
