Description

If it's not going to go off, it shouldn't be hanging there. This week, we're talking about the term "Chekhov's Gun," what it refers to, and how it applies to our writing, storytelling, and just plain-old enjoyment of the stories we consume. Also, Josh recommends the 90s scifi-camp Johnny Neumonic which is on Netflix right now, and Ira gives a (lengthy) recommendation of the Teal Swan cult-exposé doc The Deep End which is currently on Hulu.
