Hello, listener, and welcome to this preview of our latest Patreon exclusive episode.

To continue the conversation and listen to the full episode, head over to the Beyond the

Screenplay Patreon. The link is in the show notes.

Hi, I'm Michael. Welcome to Beyond the Screenplay. The podcast for each episode, you know this,

your patron, you're listening. This is a patron

exclusive. And we're talking about the talented Mr. Ripley, the 1999 film written and directed by

Anthony Mangela, based on the book by Patricia Highsmith. I'm here with everyone, Trisha Arand.

Hello, everyone. Brian Bittner. Hello, hello. And Alex Cayeros.

Hi.

So we're doing something a little fun with this episode is that we are recording this episode while live streaming it to patrons over on Patreon to YouTube, that little mechanism.

So there's going to be potentially references to the live chat that's happening off to the side.

We'll try to give context to listeners if you are not able to watch the video and play it back with chat.

Yeah, but I just thought it'd be a little fun thing.

We did this a year or two ago and it was kind of fun. And so we're bringing it back to see.

See if it can be really fun.

Okay.

So we're talking about talented Mr. Ripley.

And part of the reason that we're talking about it is that there's a new Netflix show out called Ripley,

which is a mini-series based on the same

book by Patricia Highsmith. I have seen it. Tricia has seen it, and I want to, you're going to

talk about how you began to see it in just a moment. So I think that'll be an interesting, like,

reference point that we can touch on a little bit throughout the episode.
