0044: Rom-Coms

The Screenplay Writers

Nathan and Ryan recorded this episode on a plane, flying home from Minneapolis-St Paul, where they were not able to meet up with junior producer Jack. They talk about the essential elements that make rom-coms work: scenarios that are amusing, interesting, engaging and surprising, or the three “i”s. They do script surgery on “Fever Pitch.” In Logline Cage Match, Ryan pitches his idea, “The Translator.”
