We talk about what exactly a "producer" is, and it's sooooo many things, you guys. We go into some detail about what our duties have been in the past as producers of various shows. Also there are some digressions about things like the 1932 classic film, "What Price Hollywood?" and the Hays Code and our dog, Klaus. You can hear him snoring in the background, chewing his foot, walking around, and drinking.

Oh my gosh you guys, so many great writing tips. Mostly we talk about structure, but also there's some chat about how quickly you have to grab your audience in a streaming show, and why you should be uncomfortable if you write four lines of dialogue in a row with no description.

2D or CG? Or stop-motion, of course. We talk about the pluses and minuses of the various types of animation. And cheesebread, we also talk about cheesebread.

How - and why - does an intellectual property get developed into a movie or series? OMG you guys, we've done so much of this, we're totally the ones to answer! We talk about our process, and about why there are so many adaptations, remakes, reboots, sequels, etc.
