Episode 94 - Satisfying Readers at the Ending

<p>In this episode, the two Matts do a skit about Haikus that goes from goofy to creepy surprisingly quickly, remember the old classes we took in high school English, compare the conclusions of two big Disney-owned properties that are the exact opposites in quality, and talk about satisfying readers at the ending of stories in the last of our set about keeping readers' interest. What kinds of endings work best for certain kinds of stories? Does everything have to be completely resolved? Does the ending have to be satisfying for the story as a whole to be satisfying? When will Matt David stop talking about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and treating it like it's a movie ever worth discussing ever? We discuss it all, putting a cherry on top like the writing culinary professionals we are, and talk about The Chronicles of Narnia, Avengers: Endgame, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and BIONICLE. </p> <p>Want to further support the show?
