Thank you so much, Richard, for this most interesting podcast. I'm going to post a link on my budding blog, https://www.totellastory.net/blog/, and will emphasize your smart remarks to take Aristotle's Poetics as a manual, just like the one you use to clean the carburetor of your Honda Civic. I remember vividly meeting Frank Daniel decades ago, in Germany, when the craze about script doctors had just begun. Frank could not believe that people were ready to pay him big bucks just to show them Billy Wilder's The Apartment and say things like" "And this is the moment when C.C. "Bud" Baxter is challenged to question the entire belief system he has based his life on."

Always a pleasure to hear you bloviate, Richard ... I didn't really mean 'bloviate' but it's such a great word! ~ PJ
