176 | Michael Arndt on Balancing Plot & Emotional Storytelling

Writer / Directors
Written By Jeffrey Graham

We talk about lava, character wounds, and emotional storytelling ALL THE TIME on the show, but it's important to remember: there's more to good storytelling than an emotionally juicy character. Today, Oscar-winner (and friend-of-the-show) Michael Arndt discusses this, along with trends he is noticing in the evolving world of 21st century cinema.
