We all have to suffer because these people don't read and can't even ponder writing an actual script. Nice thing about radio shows is you have to pay attention, like reading, or silent movies, your mind is working.

The Talented Mr. Ripley series is amazing. Strangers on a Train's a classic book and film, and she wrote some of the first feminine gay American lit. Great writer, but really messed up. A product of emotional abuse who wanted revenge. Read her and you'll think "I could murder somebody, no prob."
