748 - One Room Movies

John and Craig lock in on one-room movies. How does confinement change character behavior? What opportunities can a single location give you?

Plus, they consider how much dithering a character should indulge. They also answer listener questions about "hyperlink cinema" and writing phone calls.

In our bonus segment for premium subscribers, John and Craig discuss outgrowing their own tastes.
