We’re keeping it in house this week as Nigel and Tazziii welcome mayamada’s own Story Editor and ITV Programme Lawyer Lara-Lee Green for a deep dive into the impeccably crafted Pixar animation, Up. We take flight on a discussion about this unique Hero’s Journey with twists and turns that had us contemplating life’s meaning and the challenges of letting go to make space for new adventures in life…yes, it’s another podcast episode about an animation that raises deep existential questions! This week’s storytelling tip is all about using emotion to deliver exposition in your narrative.
Other stories we’re enjoying this week: Trying, Severance, Witch Way to Hallows’ Bay, Agents of Shield, Batman Unburied, Odd Taxi, Mr Robot, Demon Slayer.
