Kudo: The length of your podcast is just right. It's long enough for me to feel informed or enlightened, but not so long that it's easy to come up with an excuse for not listening because there isn't enough time. It fits perfectly with short walks and mindless chores!
Question: What about reaction dialogue? Things like, "You're kidding!" or "No way!" or "Fuck me" or "Of course" or "Thank you," et al. Are these just a waste of time/space? If so, should they/can they be referred to in the script (e.g., "He reacts" or "She swears.")? Or do we omit them entirely and just leave it all to the reader's imagination and -- God willing -- the actor's range and instinct?
Richard have you seen The Love Witch (2016)? Also your thoughts on the incredible The Holy Mountain would be amazing as it pertains to this question, how much is too much embellishment in a screenplay?
You always make me laugh! It's called delight. What a great word that is.
Greetings, Richard. A kudo and a question:
