Summary

The LFTS team chats with the creators of YouTube channels Alt Shift X and Just Write about Game of Thrones. We discuss how the mode of storytelling changed in the later seasons, how we as creators approach creating content around for something as hotly debated as Game of Thrones, and how screenwriters and filmmakers should navigate this new world of social media and fan analysis content.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Michael. Welcome to Beyond the Screenplay, and this is a special exciting episode. So I'm here with Alex Kairos, filmmaker, and editor, Lesson from the Screenplay.
0:14.8	Hello. And I'm also joined by two of my very favorite YouTube creators. So I'm joined by Alt ShiftX, who makes a ton of videos
0:22.6	about a lot of things, but the main thrusts are Game of Thrones-related videos. He does
0:27.1	recaps, or I guess he did, recaps of all the episodes season six on or so, and then has
0:33.7	these deep dives into fan theories that let you learn a lot more about the books if you're just a
0:39.2	show watcher like myself and it's basically required viewing for me when watching Game of
0:45.0	the Round. So all ShiftX is here. Good day. Thanks for having me. And we're also joined by Sage from
0:51.3	just right. Sage, I feel like your channel is almost like the closest thing to like a sister channel for lesson from the screenplay.
0:58.4	Because it's all about writing and analyzing film, but you also talk about books and lots of different mediums.
1:04.9	And just have a lot of really, really interesting analyses of the writing of all these things, and I enjoy it a lot.

1:19.6	They feel like they complement each other.
1:21.0	Yeah.
1:21.5	It's fun that we can both exist on the platform.
1:23.7	Yes.
1:24.2	And so all three of us have made videos about Game of Thrones, some more than others.
1:29.0	I'll tip X. But Sage, one of your videos is called Falling Out of Love with Game of Thrones.
1:34.2	So I thought maybe we'd start, since there's so much baggage around Game of Thrones, it's
1:38.4	finished. Everyone had their reactions that were what they were. And I don't want this to just be
1:44.0	piling on and, you know, an hour
