Yes, we're still on hiatus, but we couldn't wait until November to share this conversation with you. We're psyched to welcome Doug Burton to the podcast to talk about the Heroine's Labyrinth - an alternative to the Hero's Journey. We'll apply it to Leia's story in A New Hope, and about how this story structure applies to other original trilogy and prequel trilogy movies. Punch it!
