474 - The Calm One
John and Craig explore quiet scenes of reflection and why these calm moments between big set pieces are so meaningful to characters and viewers.
We also help a writer figure out how to pitch to his agent and answer listener questions.
Finally, in our bonus segment for premium members, we talk about dogs.
