Authors Matt James and Richard F. Paddon are rewriting movies in real time!
Pick up a copy, hit play, and follow along at home as they watch, critique, and break down their favorite films in this real-time movie commentary podcast—celebrating what works and fixing what doesn’t. Armed with the storytelling instincts of fiction authors, they’ll dissect plot holes, questionable character choices, and missed opportunities, all while keeping things fun, fast, and brutally honest.
Whether it’s cinematic gold or a script held together with duct tape and regret, the guys at Second Draft Cinema have opinions—lots of them—and they’re not afraid to wield them like a vengeful editor’s red pen! NOTHING IS SAFE.
Grab a drink, some popcorn, and enjoy the show.

HOW IT WORKS: Due to copyright laws, we CANNOT show you the actual movie. Instead, you’ll watch Matt and Rich react, critique, and rewrite in real time. For the best experience, just grab your own copy of the movie (theatrical release), press play when we do, and follow along—it’ll be like we’re watching together!
