So look, the only danger in asking a TV writer about a scene that was really cool that they dug that was never shot is that sometimes their answer isn't about a scene, but rather an entire episode that once you hear about it, it's so freaking cool that you can't stop thinking about it for a little while. And that is my current problem. But hey, today, I'm going to pass

that problem right along to you. And then it's not just my problem. It's our problem. Howdy,

I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A. And folks, yeah, it's going to be a problem for all of us,

because today's guest, Dan Gilroy, told me about an entire draft of a script

for and or season two that he wrote that just they had to cut it. I get it. They couldn't have done it.

You'll hear why. And we even talk about it in the next episode because it's just, it's too cool.

I think it should be published, but whatever, we probably

will never see it. But it was fun to talk about it today. And just to give you a hint, it's about

K2SO. But look, our guest is Dan Gilroy, yes, yes, brother of Tony. And it's a blast to have him

back in the podcast. It's always fun to chat with Dan about screenwriting because he has so many unique insights.

And of course, he was very forthcoming about his creative process, so I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, I hope you also check out Backstory Magazine.
