Author Mallory O'Meara (The Lady From The Black Lagoon) returns to talk about her new book, Girls Make Movies, why she wrote a guide for young people interested in film, its many, many iterations, being an "author" and being a "writer," and why the draft is not the book.

PLUS: Tze Chun (EP/showrunner of Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai and EP/co-showrunner with Boots Riley of I'm a Virgo) on what to wear on the picket line, why he's so well-dressed, and the vibe of his writers' rooms.

Girls Make Movies is out today! Visit Mallory's website for all ordering options, including signed copies! https://www.malloryomeara.com/girls-make-movies
