On Writing with Rian Johnson

Episode 38,   Dec 23, 2020, 12:00 PM

If you're going to cover Stephen King's inspirational memoir/creative writing guide then you damn well better recruit a great writer to be your guest. Vespe and Wampler did just that, wrangling writer/director Rian Johnson (Knives Out, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Looper) to come in, discuss some of the lessons from King's book and compare his own writing process to that of the master. Plus Wampler whips out some Dragula for good measure.

The great Rian Johnson joins the Kingcast boys to dig deep into King's inspirational memoir, his curious hatred of structure and how Johnson's own writing process mirrors King's (and where it drastically differs).
