Pretty cool premise

But wish they would have more consistent content. Promising.

Listeners beware!

This is a low-grade hustle. Linked to some janky web site selling script notes for money, which is linked to some guy’s social medias where he’s selling dog perch for money. All while claiming to be a screenwriter. Lame. Bean. Conk.
