Description

Blake Snyder told writers to 'Save the Cat,' but is this advice credible, or was Blake Snyder just a talented salesman? In Get Rec'd, Ed and Amanda examine his 1994 kid's film, 'Blank Check,' for the answer.





For the flash enthusiasts, we also delve into how Blake Snyder's screenwriting advice can be applied to the short fiction format.





Also in this episode, we touch on the line between plagiarism and homage, and deliver an important update for Not Quite Prize entrants.
