The First 10 Pages Theme: by Edison Carter.

Christmas movie time! If Ralphie shoots Scutt Farkus's eye out, will the other one still be yellow? It's a wild script read! (Well the 1st 10 pages anyway...) And the script analysis and film critique goes in a direction you won't expect! Come for my impression of the Narrator (Jean Shepherd), stay for the unusually descriptive screenplay. P.S. And a special thx to France.....

OK, screenwriters, for some Halloween horror, come to The Sunken Place with me -- Hollywood! And let's discuss why filmmaker Jordan Peele's GET OUT just might have a perfect script... but, oh man, did it go over some bumps along its way to becoming one of the great modern horror movies! ALSO: The script read made me cry! Take a listen to find out if I was laughing so hard I cried or if I choked on some Halloween candy. THEME MUSIC by: Edison Carter

A screenwriter and film lover's look at Tarantino's magnum opus! It's not told linearly, but the 1st 10 pages of Pulp Fiction tells you ALL you need to know about the WHOLE movie! And Keith has more than a little fun with the script read -- please join me for this amazing screenplay! THEME MUSIC by: Edison Carter.

Your newest script analysis podcast starts with a 50th Anniversary JAWS special! Keith takes a look at Carl Gottlieb and Peter Benchley's Jaws screenplay, discussing how the 1st 10 pages compares to the film and how those first 10 pages, and 10 minutes, tells you everything you need to know about what to expect from this classic film.... (Monthly podcast -- for now.) THEME MUSIC by: Edison Carter
