Craig and John look at The Addams Family — not just the 1991 film and its sequel, but the property itself to see what lessons we can learn when adapting for the big screen. We also answer listener questions on what makes a scene work and writing pilots based on existing IP.

Apparently The Addams Family sequel is much better than I (and the world) had been led to believe back when it first came out. Might have to give it a chance. Also: Always nice to hear Craig opine about things he cherished as a child. He does have a heart! (even if it’s for morbid comic panels that appeared in grown-up publications)
