SMC Pod #103: Long form cinema storytelling

The Team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) discuss cinema and TV stories that have found lives that extend decades.  Star Trek, Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks, the Japanese anime Evangelion, Richard Linklater's Before Trilogy all get discussed.  The team talks about how this can backfire when folks try to engineer these stories to be cash cows or "expanded universes" rather than letting the audience dictate when they want more of a certain kind of story.
