467 - Another Word for Euphemism

Scriptnotes Podcast - A podcast by John August and Craig Mazin - Tuesdays

Categories:

John and Craig talk about the words we use when referring to people or groups of people — and why those words keep changing. Nic Novicki of the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge joins us to discuss writing inclusive storylines and characters. We also discuss single-use characters, WGA elections, and follow up on listener questions. In our bonus segment for premium members, we tackle the question: “If the standards for breaking into the screenwriting industry are so high, why are so many BAD movies made?” Links: Range Media WGA Elections Easterseals Disability Film Challenge Euphemisms are like underwear: best changed frequently One Hit Kill Game DM’s Guide to Roll 20 Get Ready for a Feeding Frenzy Over the NRA’s Corpse Whale Fall Champagne Bottle Stopper Clint Ford Twitter Thread Get a Scriptnotes T-shirt!
