379 - Holiday Live Show 2018 - Extended

<p>John and Craig revisit ghosts of Christmas past in our Holiday Live Show 2018. They’re joined by Pamela Ribon (Ralph Breaks the Internet, Smurfs: The Lost Village), Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Into the Spiderverse, The Lego Movie), Zoanne Clack (Grey’s Anatomy) and Cherry Chevapravatdumrong (Family Guy, The Orville) to discuss writing animated features, breaking into television, and how to disappoint your parents.</p> <p>We also rescue another genre, the big-screen holiday comedy, by playing a game about Christmas movies. Then we answer audience questions about useful notes and being the only woman in the room.</p> <p>In our bonus segment for premium members we discuss New Year’s Resolutions, our conversation includes defining ‘the line of action,’ constructing successful goals, and unraveling the nature of shame.</p> <p>Links:</p> <ul> <li>Thank you to the Writers Guild Foundation and the LA Film School for hosting us!</li> <li>Thank you, <a href="https://www.wgfoundation.org/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Writers Guild Foundation</a> for making this event happen!</li> <li>And thank you to our incredible guests: <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0962596/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener noreferrer">Pamela Ribon</a>, <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0520488/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Phil Lord</a> and <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0588087/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chris Miller</a>, <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1333505/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1" target= "_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zoanne Clack</a> and <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2213739/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cherry Chevapravatdumrong</a>!</li> <li>Featured movies in the Santa Claus Is Bumming Me Down game are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Christmases" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Four Christmases</a>, <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_All_the_Way" target="_blank" rel="noope
