I really should have linked to this sooner considering that posts about Amazon Studios tend to be among my most-viewed. This week, I had the honor of being the guest on Scott Beggs and Geoff LaTulippe's podcast Broken Projector.

Broken Projector is one of my favorite podcasts, so it was a great pleasure to be invited on the show. If you love movies, this is a podcast you need to be listening to every week. As a bonus, you now know the proper "voice" to hear in your head as you read Geoff LaTulippe's tweets.

I guess my question is, when a classic work of fiction has an impact on your story in-universe, how much can you assume the audience knows and how much do they need to know?
