Today we're going to be looking at the new Johnny Depp movie, Black Mass.

Now this is a really extraordinary true story, based on the life of Whitey Bulger, and featuring one of Johnny Depp's all time best performances. And we're going to be discussing some of its most compelling scenes and the elements that made them work in this podcast.

And yet, at the same time, despite the power of Johnny Depp's and the supporting cast's stellar performances, there is something about Black Mass that just leaves you (or at least left me) a little hollow-- a little bit unsatisfied.

So I also want to talk about what got in the way with Black Mass, and how you can learn from both its strengths and failures in your own screenwriting, particularly when it comes to revision.

If you haven't seen Black Mass yet, please be aware that there are spoilers ahead...
