| 0:00.0 | Hello, listener, Michael from the Future here. I'm Michael Tucker, creator of the YouTube channel Lessons from the Screenplay, and host of this podcast, Beyond the Screenplay. |
| 0:09.6 | Beyond the Screenplay is a conversation show where the same LFTS team that makes our videos, Trisha Rand, Brian Bittner, Alex Cayeros, and I talk about movies. |
| 0:20.3 | We enthusiastically discuss what we love about them, |
| 0:22.9 | and occasionally what we don't like, but always what we learn from them. So you don't need to |
| 0:27.9 | listen to the show in any particular order. I encourage you to jump around and find episodes on |
| 0:32.4 | films or TV shows you love, or are conversations with guests you're interested in. You won't |
| 0:37.3 | really be |
| 0:37.7 | missing anything except the evolution of a couple inside jokes, which honestly I think you'll be |
| 0:42.4 | able to get pretty quickly. Also, as with most podcasts, we've evolved a lot since we first started, |
| 0:48.4 | and the format of the show has gotten much more focused as time has passed. What I'm saying is, |
| 0:53.2 | it takes us a few episodes to find our footing, |
| 0:55.6 | and we're always learning how to best serve our audience. If you end up enjoying the show and want |
| 1:00.5 | even more episodes, our Beyond the Screenplay Patreon has a monthly patron exclusive episodes waiting |
| 1:05.9 | for you. That's where you'll find our episodes on Pirates of the Caribbean, Scott Pilgrim versus |
| 1:10.6 | the world, no Pilgrim versus the |
| 1:10.8 | World, No Country for Old Men, Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse, The Rise of Skywalker, |
| 1:16.5 | and many others. Thanks for your interest and Beyond the screenplay, and now on to the Sean of the |
| 1:22.6 | Dead. |
| 1:32.2 | Hi, I'm Michael. Welcome to Beyond the Screenplay. |
| 1:40.5 | In this episode, we'll be exploring Edgar Wright's 2004 film Sean of the Dead and why everything in a story should begin with character. |
| 1:45.0 | Today, I'm joined by the lessons from the screenplay team, writer Trisha Arand. |
| 1:46.1 | Hello, Michael. |
