Episode 93 - With host Craig Norris and Taylor Lidstone. First Broadcast on Edge Radio, 6 Dec 2024.

We explore the latest unusual media culture fails, then discuss the art of the "reversal" in storytelling, as explained in Jim Mercurio's "The Craft of Scene Writing: Beat by Beat to a Better Script."

Join us as we dissect iconic movie scenes, revealing how a well-crafted reversal can turn the tide of a story, leaving audiences on the edge of their seats.
