I studied screenwriting for about five years (before I realized it was a complete dead end for me) and knew people who got jobs in the industry, so heard all the horror stories about pitch meetings. Crazy industry and totally deserves to be spoofed. What you wrote is entirely possible!

Brian Austin Green 😂 😂 😂

Don’t forget the action scene where John Stamos or Winona Ryder jumps out of Mr. Whirly.

Ha! Thanks. I had fun writing it, but think it left some of the diehard fans a little confused.

I can see that, but if they take a second to think about it they’ll come around.
