Take 136 - Writer Matthew Aldrich, Coco, Cleaner

Update: 2025-02-20

Description

We're back after our New Year and fire break and have a great oe, Coco and Cleaner writer Matthew Aldrich.

He talks about the power of spec scripts, why he never celebrates his wins and the pressure and intensity of working with Pixar.
He tells about sourcing ideas from news articles, how prior success has meant nothing for future success and the state of Hollywood today.

We also cover not living in LA, alternative pastry chef careers and why he feels so fortunate.

A great first episode of the year from a man with some amazing films under his belt.
