In this second part of their exploration of character motivations, Chas and Stu dive into what makes \u201cBAD\u201d screenplays NOT work.&amp;nbsp; They examine at moments where they (and maybe you, dear listeners) did not believe a key decision being made by a character and so were taken out of the movie. In a departure from the Draft Zero format, they apply the tools they developed in Part 1 to workshop potential fixes to these beats. Character decisions that come under the microscope are AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (again), SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY, DIE HARD (which is a good example for contrast, not a bad one!), PREDATOR 2, SICARIO 2: D\u00cdA DEL SOLDADO and PROMETHEUS (with an honourable mention to A PRINCESS BRIDE). Let us know if you like the variation on our format or not! As always:&amp;nbsp;SPOILERS ABOUND! Audio quotations used for educational purposes only. Timestamps indicated below.
