Bad Storytellers :: Episode 20 :: The Sequel Episode
Bad Storytellers is a podcast about writing and things that are written. Join four friends on the road to becoming professional writers as they unleash new stories on-air, criticize each others’ work, discuss pop culture influences, and conceive on-the-spot trailers for imaginary films.
This is our debut on The Nerdy Show Network! If this is your first time with us – come, join us by the fire. You won’t need to have heard our previous episodes, but if you want to check them out, you can find them all here.
In this episode we review our 20 previous movie ideas and roll a d20 to decide which of them we’ll craft a hilarious sequel for. Also, Max showcases his Lieutenant character in action, Liam reworks the interpersonal relationships in his story, Josh turns in the fifth chapter of his ongoing novel, and Doug pitches an entirely new story idea that really speaks to us.
