INT. ANALYSIS: Recent Episodes
Evan Wessman
A podcast that analyzes movie scripts in depth. Hosted by Evan Wessman, Jelani Kelly, David Jones, and Karla Cortes. Each episode, we look at one movie and discuss what creative choices were made that allow it to rise above others like it (and sometimes where it could have done better).
We look at this subversive superhero movie, how it made itself accessible to non-superhero fans, the breath of fresh air it provided to a tired genre, and its effective use of edginess and violence.
