The First 10 Pages

Why is Frankenstein's monster reading the screenplay for LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS!? Guy's gotta eat...and so does a plant -- but who ate more, the movie's plant or the stage play's plant, and why WAS the ending changed? I have the answer, and '60s cartoon characters Magilla Gorilla and Mr. Peebles bring it to you...in my strangest episode yet! The First Ten Pages is an audio drama podcast about great movies and great screenwriting.

Disney and Pixar's UP. Is it the animated movie with the greatest screenplay of all time? Should the creators have gone with the original idea of a floating city on an alien planet? And why is Goofy narrating? And where IS Christopher Robin?!? A look at the script, the style, the approach to Pixar's UP is what's on hand this month. And there's nothing in the screenplay that'll surprise you -- it's perfect. The First Ten Pages is a podcast about movies and filmmaking and screenwriting.

Give in to your dark side...and become...a swan? This month we dive in with Natalie Portman and the BLACK SWAN with a script read by someone who sounds a LOT like FREDDY KRUEGER (but for legal reasons is NOT Freddy Krueger). The script is interesting, but this month we're looking at MOTIFS! Come along for the ride of The First Ten Pages and hang on tight...these ballerinas be crazy!

It's an ILLEGAL First Ten Pages THREEWAY! A wild Book-Script-Movie party! With Elle Woods back, thanks to streaming, it seemed like a great time for LEGALLY BLONDE -- a script read, a book read, and a movie watch! Was Elle Woods a smarter-than-she-looks genius in every iteration?! The answer will surprise you! (It's no. The answer's no.) Come for the world of Legally Blonde and Elle Woods, stay for my amazing voice work of the all-female cast of the movie! Then judge cruelly me for it!!

The feature script for SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE breakout characters THE BLUES BROTHERS, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, was one of the funniest, bluesiest, car-crashiest movies ever! Screenplay by Aykroyd and directed by John Landis, who also honed the SNL performer's script down to a manageable size (the original screenplay was more than 300 pages long!), the big question remains: Is The Blues Brothers script any good?

Is the script for The Muppet Movie as manic, insane and sophisticated as the Muppets themselves? The answer is shocking! (It's no.) The first 10 pages for the 1979 original Muppet movie screenplay is strictly for kiddies. How can it be? And why is Gonzo hopping mad?

ALIEN or ALIENS, which script would win a rap battle? Yes, time to talk James Cameron and his ALIENS screenplay -- and to discuss what makes this script tik-tik-tik-tik-tik-tssss!!! (That's my alien impression!) I also briefly discuss: Ruthless People, First Blood and Rambo, & Howard the Duck...and I ideate Aliens ".3"...
