What's up, Scribe Tribe! Mike's out this week, so Rob and Skylar are holding it down this week. Join the guys as they break down some of the key differences in writing a one-hour TV/Streaming show piliit vs. a half-hour pilot, including act structure, pacing, and typical genres (e.g. sci-fi, comedy, drama). 

And as always, they'll also bring you the latest in entertainment news, including:

  • The INCREDIBLE opening weekend numbers for the new Michael Jackson biopic, "Michael"
  • Paramount's proposed buyout of Warner Bros. Discovery keeps progressing
  • The Oscars ruling against AI use in movies
  • And so much more!

So buckle up and enjoy the ride, you’re tuned in to The Scribe Tribe! And remember, #AlwaysBeCreating (ABC)!
