I'm Mark, 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.800 I'm Greg, I'm Brendan, and we are a team of 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.840 Hollywood screenwriters who meet every week to read from an 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:18.560 original screenplay that one of us has written. We give 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.680 notes and rank the scripts, and at the end of 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.000 the season, we're going to pitch the best script to 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.760 big time Hollywood producer Dutch Huxley. 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.200 WHOA, there we go. I can't wait. 0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:31.240 We're all very excited. So let's start with a little 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:32.000 bit about us. 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.880 Sure, well, we met in a three car pile up 0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.600 on the one oh one, and yep, it's true. 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.160 I was the butt end of it. 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.640 That's right. I was first in line, so technically not 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:43.560 at fault, and. 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.199 I was the meat of the sandwich, so I can 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:46.680 blame everybody, that's right. 0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.600 I think trial is gonna tell us the answer to 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:50.640 all these questions. 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.120 We are in current litigation. 0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.840 I don't think we should actually talk about the lawsuit. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.680 The lawsuits, Okay, good call. 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.920 I will say though, if on the record, if I'm 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.080 hit from behind, I should not be at fault for 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:06.199 hitting somebody in front of me, especially if they slowed 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.959 down too fast. 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:08.520 That's what she just said, and then that's the end 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:08.720 of it. 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.039 That's the end of it. 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.240 You guys watched the office, that's what she said, didn't 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:13.600 see it. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.560 Yeah, Well, and I was driving a well borrowing for 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:21.640 the day, a very nice car, and Mark's crappy Jetta 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.440 sort of didn't rear end me. It more drove up 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:25.760 onto the tail. 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.200 Part I did. I ramped you, you. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.240 Ramped me, and then Brendan's car went under yours. So 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:32.760 it was kind of like it was it a three 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:33.840 car pile up more. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.560 Of a I was piled up on top of sort 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.760 of like a triangular bridge between the two of you 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:40.440 at one point. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:41.080 That's right. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.600 I don't know if car is important. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.680 I was in the four Tourists. I was born in 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.320 so family car that will come out in trial. Well, 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.000 I think we should probably set the setting for where 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:52.480 we are. 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.720 Yeah, let's go ahead and give folks a little idea 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.520 of where we are. Interior Mark's crappy apartment in North Hollywood. 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.320 Day and is this North Hollywood? 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:02.520 I don't know it's far. 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.080 According to the La Metro, it is not. Because I 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:07.400 went to the last stop in North Hollywood. Bus driver 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.400 kicked me off and I walked another forty five minutes 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.840 to get here. What is this neighborhood? 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.280 Is it's North Hollywood adjacent. It's deep North Hollywood. Yeah. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:17.040 Yeah, this definitely feels like we're not in California anymore. 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.600 Toto, Well we are. We're in California. We're in Hollywood 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:23.880 technically adjacent, which is appropriate for this podcast. And we 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.240 don't have to talk anymore about my apartment, which I love, 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.520 which is set up exactly how I want it. 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.880 I'm sitting on a weight bench, and I'm sitting on 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.480 an old crate of Teeto's and looking at a good 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:35.160 Fellow's poster. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:39.120 It's also I hung sanely dark. Yeah, it is dark. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:40.880 It's dark and hot, blazingly hot. 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.079 It's very hot in here. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.880 Well, this is the reason it's dark. Is I blacked 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.640 out the windows so that I could film in here 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:47.799 at the drop of a hat. 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.400 Why did you need to black out the windows? You 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.400 have a what is this a basement apartment? 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.360 Yeah, it's called it. It's a garden apartment. 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:54.280 Well where's the garden? 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.520 They took it out, but this could be a location. Also, Greg, 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.959 you're staying on my couch, so you don't have to room, 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.560 trash the apartment. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.240 Well, I've not trashed this apartment, and believe me, it 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.799 looked like this when I came in. And I'm just 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:10.119 staying for a while, and I would. 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:10.920 Sell anything us. 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:14.440 Yeah, I do. Actually, that's great. I have some screenwriting books. Yeah, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.560 I probably have everyone you could imagine. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.000 That's right. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.160 There's a story, of course, Robert McKee. You've got fifty 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:25.520 two Points of Light by Jamison Flanders. What's that one about. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.680 It's just a different structure, Okay. It breaks a movie 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.080 down into fifty two points. Okay, So it's basically like 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.400 two and three quarters pages per point. Okay, So it's 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:37.760 just an easier way to think of it. 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.720 Yeah, you got to save the cat, of course. But 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.800 I think he died, Blake Snyder. Blake Snyder, he. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.800 Did, he died, Okay. He left us a wealth of 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.600 knowledge for screenwriting, which I appreciate. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:49.840 What else do we get here? 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.040 That's probably enough? 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.240 Oh well, look at all the photos that fell out 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.360 of that one.

You don't have connections. You're not getting anywhere in 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:14.320 this town. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.440 You got nothing. I mean, this is a networking town. 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.159 You need to be able to have a large network. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:19.440 You got to be able to make friends. 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.960 And Mark's got a big one. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.000 I have I reeled in a big fish. It's who 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:30.159 you know and I know through one degree of separation. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:35.240 Maybe the greatest, most legendary of all Hollywood producers, the 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.320 man himself, Sir Dutch Huxley. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.000 Wow, that's why we call the podcast what we call it, 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.799 get it to Dutch. And we're gonna get it to Dutch. 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.080 What is your connection there? 0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.160 A family friend of mine is friends. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:47.920 Well that's one. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.160 Yeah, it's friends with a guy who knows Dutch. 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.320 So that's two connect You're actually two steps away. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:54.320 That's two degrees. 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.279 Yeah, that's two degrees of separation. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.080 But still a connection. You know what they say, two 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.640 degrees below zero is still freezing. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.120 Yeah, and if your eyes cold, I mean, it's helpful 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:03.679 or not helpful. 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:05.960 Well, you guys, okay, how close are you to Dutch? 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.960 You guys don't know Dutch? I walk his dog, really yeah, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:11.640 every day, but I wouldn't say I know him. He 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.440 just calls me Benjamin or Brick anything with a be. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.880 Never Brendan, though oddly enough, I had no idea that's great. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.920 Brick is such a swing and a miss from Brendan. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.440 Like he calls brickmated everything you think he'd say Brendan 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.600 before he said Brick. I don't think it matters. He's 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:30.600 a guy who doesn't think. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.600 He just goes Honestly, if he calls you anything, it 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:35.720 doesn't matter. You're one degree of separation if you know 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:36.080 his dog. 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.040 Oh my god, so am I running the podcast? Now? 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:42.640 Seems like nobody's running the podcast. This is an equal 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.720 opportunity situation. I happen to know Dutch. I think maybe 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.360 five percent more because my connections are human. Yeah, they 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.720 actually have a sort of consciousness that is able to recognize. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.560 But I'd pick his best friend, not mel Gibson the dog. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.760 I don't know if I was clear about that. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.400 It's an important distinction, it really is. It's important that 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.559 you mentioned that. Now, if you don't know Dutch, you 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:13.120 certainly know his movie for sure. The guy has done everything, 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:18.040 every genre, every category, He started with westerns Now. Some 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:23.720 of the titles you'll recognize Hard Sunset Ryan. He actually 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.000 got mad if you didn't scream the title all caps 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.000 with an exclamation point. He did a Conflict at two fifteen. 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:32.520 That was his actual That was his second highest grossing Western. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.360 That was actually his second highest grossing Western of all 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.600 time until, of course, he made Minors Versus Horse Right, 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.839 which blew the doors off of the today. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.160 Yeah, absolutely not. He went on to make some of 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.240 the greatest romance films of the sixties and seventies, including 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.440 The Secret Diary of Betsy Ross, which is very controversial 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:55.320 in his day, Rigid Jeans, and then yeah, he had 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.320 some Oscar contenders.

But before we dive into Brendan's script? 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.720 Yes, a little note about scripts. Each week we're going 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.000 to rotate whose script it is. This week it's Brendan's 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.920 turn you and you'll notice we're not going to read 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.640 the entire script, all one hundred and twenty pages or 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:06.280 whatever it is. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.839 Well, this one's four seventy five. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:13.880 Four seventy five. That wow, So thankfully, we're only going 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.839 to read select scenes to give you the general arc 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.959 of the story beginning, middle of an end, and afterwards 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.839 we'll let you into our writing process as we give 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.520 each other notes. Yes, because screenwriting is sort of it's 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.600 like a river, it's sort of always changing, it's never ending. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.000 You're gonna have to customize your vision to some degree. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.040 And I might add some sound effects to the script 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.280 to punch it up and give it a little pizazz. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.439 So Brendan, set up your script, take us into your world. 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:44.760 What do we need to know before we get into it? Yes, 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:49.200 I have written favorite genre of mine, fantasy. When Lord 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.200 of the Rings came out changed my life. 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.920 I loved the books, I absolutely adored the movies, and 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:59.760 so this is my take on a grand epic fantasy. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.240 It's called The Winds of Beleanore, cool excellent, and it 0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:08.360 follows our hero Thorgar half Man, who is a half 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:11.679 man half halfling, which is a hobbit for those of 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.200 you not in the know. Half man, half halfling, half 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.439 a halfling is just just half lining. Okay, So a 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.000 hobbit is a halfling, a half is a halfling, so 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.560 he's half a half link. 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.080 But his last name is half man half man. Okay, 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.400 so a half man is a hobbit, or a halfling 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:29.160 is a half. 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.720 Well, Thorgar half man is half hobbit. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.439 Okay, he's a quarter hobbit. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:36.880 Hold on, if a halfling is a hobbit, he's half 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.800 a halfling. He's a he's a quarter hobbit, half a man. 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:41.600 Let me look it up and I'll try to figure 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.160 it out before the end of this. But he's half man, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.760 half halfling, and basically he's the most unlikely hero and 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.240 a land of heroes that you'll ever see. Awesome, And 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.800 he sets out on an adventure to save the land 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.400 of Beleanor all right, and I thought we could start 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.560 actually right off the top from the beginning, get a 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.840 beautiful glimpse of the landor. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.160 Do you want to sign some parts?
