  'Death of Robin Hood' Director/Writer Michael Sarnoski

  Jun 26, 202622 min

  Michael Sarnoski joins The Screenplayed Breakdown to discuss The Death of Robin Hood , a new reimagining of the legendary outlaw starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer. Michael discusses his lifelong fascination with the Robin Hood myth and why he chose to tell the character's final chapter. Michael breaks down his writing process, from his vomit pass first drafts to discovering characters organically as he writes. He also discusses balancing writing and directing, shooting ambitious action sequences in just thirty days, and why he believes the best creative work comes from following ideas that seem impossible or even like bad ideas on paper. Michael previously wrote and directed the acclaimed drama Pig starring Nicolas Cage and directed A Quiet Place: Day One .

  Episode #9

  'All Her Fault' Showrunner Megan Gallagher

  Jun 16, 202650 minS2

  Megan Gallagher joins The Screenplayed Breakdown to discuss Peacock’s hit thriller series 'All Her Fault,' starring Sarah Snook. As the show’s lead writer and showrunner, Megan breaks down the process of adapting Andrea Mara’s bestselling novel into an eight-episode television event and reveals how major storylines, characters, and twists were developed specifically for the series. Megan discusses her unconventional path into the industry, moving from the United States to Norway and building a television career through the British and European production systems. She explains the differences between American and British writers' rooms, the challenges of constructing a mystery that keeps audiences guessing, and the importance of creating satisfying twists that feel surprising yet inevitable. The conversation also explores Megan’s experience assembling a writers' room, working with directors Minkie Spiro and Kate Dennis, and translating complex character dynamics from page to screen. She reflects on writing personal material inspired by her own family, the realities of sustaining a career in Hollywood, and why success in the entertainment industry is less about connections and more about persistence and hard work. Before creating 'All Her Fault,' Megan wrote and produced television projects across Scandinavia and the United Kingdom, including work for BBC One. She continues to develop character-driven thrillers and adaptations for international audiences while serving as a writer, executive producer, and showrunner.

  Marvel's 'Wonder Man' Showrunner Andrew Guest

  Jun 7, 202647 minS2

  In this episode, Andrew Guest joins the Screenplayed Breakdown to discuss Marvel's new show, Wonder Man. Andrew is the showrunner of the series and brings with him a wealth of television experience, having worked on landmark comedies including 30 Rock and Community before moving into the Marvel universe with Hawkeye. Andrew reflects on the experience of working within the Marvel machine, including what it is like to collaborate with Kevin Feige, and how the writer's room for a streaming show differs fundamentally from the network television rooms where he came up. He also touches on the dual nature of Hollywood that Wonder Man itself explores, the industry as both a source of genuine inspiration and deep frustration, and closes with what advice he would offer his younger self at the start of a career that eventually landed him at the helm of one of Marvel's most unconventional projects.
