Writers/Blockbusters Screenwriting Podcast

I love these guys! All three of them bring their own unique perspective to movies you know and love, incredibly informed and instructive. It’s more than just a podcast, it’s a hangout with your nerdiest buddies diving deep with passion into the world of screenwriting and having a laugh while they are at it. Since discovering this I have just been making my way through all the episodes, the discussions on all elements of screenwriting and how movies may or may not adhere to various frameworks is invaluable, may it never end!

Great podcast; Better than film school! Smart analysis, great personalities. Highly recommend for anyone who likes movies!

Better than all the rest....better than anyone....anyone I've ever met. Okay, I've never met these guys, and more than likely I never will, but I say to myself its okay, because of the old teachings (biblical?) about never meeting your heroes. I've been listening to Writers Blockbusters for a very very long time. I've written them fan mail. I get excited when they write back! I drop what I'm doing when a new podcast comes out. I find myself laughing along with them throughout the pod, feeling like I'm with them in a recording session. They are unlike any other screenwriting podcast I listen to because of the way they structure each episode. They get personal, they discuss some history behind the movies, and my GOD the tips and teachings they one gets - its like sitting in a film class. And I've taken many a film class! Honestly, this review could go on and on with what I like, how they make me laugh, how I always walk away with so much new information and insight into the films I love and how to apply it to others and my own work....but alas, how does one capture perfection. There's nothing I dislike about the podcast EXCEPT I don't know how they don't have a larger fanbase. They deserve a huge audience! I'll always be there front e-row clapping and screaming maniacally for Jamie, Jimmy, and Bob - like my mom at a Tina Turner concert (RIP). Keep it up fellas!

I came upon this podcast quite by accident- and I’m so glad that I did! Some people devote their lives to film and know every movie, director, writer, actor, etc. I am not one of those people, but these guys are (probably!). Anyway, I love movies and this podcast helps me appreciate how scripts are structured and written, as well as the work that goes into the finished product. I learned that we often take the script for granted and don’t realize how critical even small changes or additions were in preventing a beloved classic from becoming a flop (or something weird). These guys really know their stuff and share their knowledge without being snooty about it! One of them is my favourite but I will never reveal which one. Thanks gentlemen! PS: I really like when they share their personal connection to a movie and their memories of when they first saw it- very cool.
