Customer Reviews
So glad I found this
I’m jealous of you if you’re just finding this podcast. You’ve got 100+ episodes of super detailed script deconstructions to sink into. You’ll get so many tips on what types of things to avoid in your script, what makes scripts great and how a reader will interpret your story. I love these guys, I feel like I know them. They play off each other really well and you feel like you’re in the same room with them. They’re super authentic and don’t hold anything back. These are not the phony Hollywood types that I’ve heard of—they’re not selling a lie. They do this ad free, and only plug their own businesses/classes at the beginning or end. If you’re a corporate schlub like me whose hanging onto the dream of writing a script, this is a must listen.
A Masterclass in Screenwriting
There are a lot of writing podcasts out there, but Writers Blockbusters stands out as the best. Featuring three seasoned hosts offering expert advice, industry insights, and engaging discussions, every episode feels like a mini masterclass in screenwriting. As a professional writer, I consider it one of my most valuable resources.
Wonderful Show
Even with Jimmy over-talking and cutting off the other hosts, this show delivers amazing craft-centered lessons.
