John and Craig examine what happens when characters talk over each other, and the best ways for writers to think about these moments and portray them on the page.

We also follow up on delayed movies, mergers, and assistant pay.

Finally, in our bonus segment for premium members, we discuss Halloween (the holiday, not the movie).
