Welcome to Let’s Improv a Story, where we try to come up with a new story on the fly for characters and intellectual properties we all know and love. The goal of this intellectual exercise is to create a story that could actually be made, published as a comic book, green lit by a studio, or continue an already existing storyline. And to have fun and make friends along the way!
Let's take a Star Trek movie from 1998 and try to script doctor it. Can we save the patient? You're going to wish you had one of those little futuristic flashlight things that heals wounds when you get a look at this sicko! Hypospray, stat!

(X-Men) Gambit: Raise the Stakes
Gambit--he's cool! But is he too cool? Are roads getting icy? Is he a slip and fall risk? No more nonsense. Let's give him an upgrade, make him more central to the major players in the X-Men, maybe give him an aesthetic tweak, and of course, improv a story for him. (Also--thought of this later-- he should be immune to his own explosions.)

Terminator: Time War
Welcome to Let’s Improv a Story (available on Apple & Spotify), where we try to come up with a new story on the fly for characters and intellectual properties we all know and love. The goal of this intellectual exercise is to create a story that could actually be made, published as a comic book, green lit by a studio, or continue an already existing storyline. And to have fun and make friends along the way!
The Terminator franchise — let's not think about it! Instead, let's try to come up with one good Terminator movie idea. But what genre of movie is it? Horror? Action? Sci-fi? Is it one robo-genre wearing the skin of another genre? Let's find out!

Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye
"I don't care for Optimus Prime," is not how I feel, but it certainly is something someone could say. On this episode, let's re-launch the Transformers to make them more relatable to human beings. And someone might ask, what's not relatable about giant, alien, transforming robots? Exactly!
(*Note: The title refers to the classic Transformers tagline and not specifically to the comic book series of that name.)

Here's a rainy day episode that I recorded early. It's not done on the fly, but it's something that's been stuck in my mind for a while. It's an MCU X-Men rollout plan I dreamed up. What movies? What characters? In what order? What stories and genres? And what does it all build to? Let's find out together! (Even though for once I actually know ahead of time.)

The Ill-Advised Seinfeld Reunion
This podcast is about something: a show about nothing. In this episode, let's try to come up with a story for an ill-advised Seinfeld reunion. Why ill-advised? Because it would probably be bad, if only because it could never meet expectations. So come on, let's have fun trying to come up with some good ideas for this bad idea!

Back to the Future Part IV
Here's a tricky one to figure out! The less because of time and more because of tone. So let's jump right in, before I make an unnecessary reference or a silly joke. "Marty!!" Oops.
