Hey, this is John heads up that today's episode has just a little bit of swearing in it.

Hello and welcome.

My name is John August and this episode 575 of script notes, a podcast about screenwriting

and things that are interesting to screenwriters.

One billion dollars.

That's the cost for entry for today's How Would This Be a Movie segment where we take

a look at stories in the news and ask ourselves, huh, is this the way I could watch on the

screen somewhere?

But who was this we we are down one Craig, luckily we found a comedian actor writer,

podcaster and very experienced host of fill in.

You might know him from Fire Island.

I love that for you or as one half of the Lost Culture East is podcast.

His new showtime special, Have You Heard Of Christmas?

Stream started December 2nd.

Welcome to the program Matt Rogers.

I am so happy to be on the program.

Thank you John.

I'm a massive fan, which I think I told you the first time we interacted over direct message

which is kind of exclusively how we've known each other up to this point.

So it's so weird because like as we were starting to record like, do we know each other?

It's a really sort of 2022 question because like we've chat on direct messages on Instagram

but that's the extent of our relationship up until this moment.
