0:00.0 | IDSG bonus episodes are a regular extra just for Patreon backers of myself or Daniel. |
0:06.0 | Here's a preview of the new one. This is this is the kind of the writing debut of Shane Black |
0:12.1 | who had done some kind of script work previously. He got paid $250,000 for this movie. |
0:19.5 | He is among the highest paid screenwriters of all time. He got paid $4 million to write the |
0:27.8 | long-kiss goodnight. It was a these kind of like Shane Blackisms. I don't know how much |
