If you’re reeling from an explosive summer, you’re in luck. There are currently two movies in theaters (and in the VOD-o-sphere as well as iTunes) that are both hilarious and treat relationships with a complexity and realism that you might be missing. The first is Sleeping With Other People, a romantic comedy where Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie use a safe word for when they’re feeling sexual tension. We’ll talk with writer/director Leslye Headland about finding honesty with a high concept.
The second is People Places Things, the story of a graphic novelist/teacher (played brilliantly by Jemaine Clement) who is going through divorce, trying to be a good father and trying to contemplate defining his life now that half of it is over. We’ll also speak with its writer/director, James C. Strause.
Plus, Geoff and I will answer some of your screenwriting questions, and, since I’m moving across the planet over the next two months, we’ll briefly consider the role packing up everything plays in a handful of films.
