Scripts, scripts, scripts!
Who wants a copy and pastable version of three Renegade Cut episodes? You do! Or you might not. I won't tell you how to live your life. Here they are, free of charge.
THE MATRIX
AUDIO 1
The Matrix is a computer simulation of reality in a post-apocalyptic world ruled by artificially intelligent...
The Tree of Life script
The script to the 200th episode went through a few revisions. This is the (mostly) final draft, but I still ended up changing a few things post-recording. You might notice some differences. Text in bold is stuff that I definitely took out after recording for sounding needlessly inflammatory.
AUDIO 1

Scripts, scripts and more scripts!
For those who want a text copy, I have the scripts to the three most recent episodes. Apologies for not getting them up sooner. Between moving to a new home and being out of town for a convention, I've been extremely busy. Everything is settling down now.
You may notice some extra material in the scripts that did not mak...

Run Lola Run script
Hi, everyone. Hard at work juggling the new episode on The Dark Knight Trilogy with moving to my new home. What a week. For the time being, here is the script from the previous episode on Run Lola Run.
AUDIO 1
[1:50] Run Lola Run is a 1998 German film directed by Tom Tykwer. [4:52] Manni, a mi...
Altered States script
Hi, everyone! The new episode is coming tonight, but for now, here is the script from last week's episode:
AUDIO 1
[0:10] Altered States is a 1980 science fiction horror film directed by Ken Russell. [7:30] Edward Jessup, a professor, [4:33] experiments with hallucinogens and sensory deprivation tan...
Ghost in the Shell script
When I watched Ghost in the Shell, my most persistent thought was not of the mind-body problem or identity theory or any of the philosophical subjects mentioned in the episode. It was "How am I supposed to show this on YouTube?" Ghost in the Shell features the protagonist nude during roughly half of her scenes. I edited around t...

Dogtooth script
Dogtooth was a challenge to put together and required a lot of reading and research. The comments section has been a mix of thoughtful words and people claiming that the fascism I discussed is not fascism. I literally used the dictionary definition and widely agreed-upon criteria. I guess that's not enough for folks! Oh well. An...

Suicide Squad script
There have been a lot of comments about why I didn't choose a superhero movie as my example of a well-structured screenplay to contrast with Suicide Squad. It's simple. When I write my script, I take into account arguments against what I am saying. If I chose an earlier DC Comics film like Superman (1978), someone would inevitab...

The Neon Demon script and other thoughts
Hey, everyone! Another FREE script for my patrons in case you ever need it. I ended up leaving out something from both the script and the episode. Sometimes I have a thought or a theory or something I wish to add to an episode, but I find that I may not be on solid ground. So, I'm left with a choice between adding it...

Coming this Tuesday...
If all goes as planned, the next Renegade Cut on The Neon Demon will debut on Tuesday. All episodes require a lot of research, days of reading articles and books, fact-checking and so on, but this one had me refamiliarize myself with everything from Shakespeare to Greek myth. Some of my research lead to some dead ends. There are...
