What’s the “Implied Contract With the Audience?” Listen to this solid discussion between screenwriters John August and Craig Mazin on how to write the ending of your movie. The meat of the podcast starts about a third of the way into the show. I skipped past all the Hayden Christensen stuff…
A few great excerpts:
“If you’re writing and you don’t know how the movie ends, you’re writing the wrong beginning.”
“What would be the best, most excruciating, difficult test of faith for my hero and his new outlook on life?”
John and Craig talk about the ending of Up, and the way that Pixar really “gets” endings. Too bad the ending of Brave didn’t pay off as well as Up.
You want more discussion about Tiny Furniture? You want more improv? Here’s almost 30 minutes worth. You asked for it!

“Improv Movie Party Theme Song” by Josh MacDonald.
In case you need to see something to believe it.
“To me, the great hope is that now these little 8mm video recorders and stuff have come out, and some—just people who normally wouldn’t make movies are going to be making them. And you know, suddenly, one day some little fat girl in Ohio is going to be the new Mozart, you know, and make a beautiful film with her little father’s camera recorder. And for once, the so-called professionalism about movies will be destroyed, forever, you know. And it will really become an art form.
That’s my opinion.”
Nick loooooves chick flix.
Recording the podcast about Tiny Furniture and Brave right now with @seanlondon, @twiternamrulz, @therealmacd and @charstarlene! Episode 4 coming July 3rd!
Next week, on episode 4 we tackle Pixar’s BRAVE and Lena Dunham’s TINY FURNITURE.
You didn’t see John Carter? That’s okay! We watched it for you! And listening to us joke about it for 59 minutes is WAY more fun than watching that movie for 132 minutes.
