00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Arrow dot net isn't just a podcast, It's twenty different

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,519
podcasts a r r oe dot net, something for every

3
00:00:08,599 --> 00:00:11,919
flavor and need, such as view from the Writing Instrument.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,279
It's all about those of us that have been chosen

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,039
to write, to hear from the authors, to go into

6
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:22,960
your deep way of thinking, to understand your paths, situations

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,199
as well as you're healing. It's called view from the

8
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:30,359
Writing Instrument on ero dot net, aarr oe dot net.

00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:34,960
Enjoy your exploration, pay them back, I've got more questions.

10
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:37,079
You know. The fun begins when you start researching for

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,240
answers such as modern day's storytelling on the flat screen

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,520
at home or high above a room inside a movie theater.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,280
Why does everything feel like the next episode of Stranger Things? Plus?

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,399
Is it a good thing for writers and directors to

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,960
actually tap into this new genre? My name is Erro.

16
00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:59,640
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on

17
00:00:59,679 --> 00:01:02,280
the side lines that do nothing but watch, listen, study,

18
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:05,000
then activate. I happen to call it the daily mess.

19
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:08,120
It is a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah,

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,680
it's my morning writing as a receiver of thoughts and ideas,

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,040
we as people tend to throw things to the side

22
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:16,359
because we think we're going to deal with it later on.

23
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:19,280
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,040
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,760
but by doing the research, that picture becomes clearer. This

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,159
is the daily mess storytelling on the flat screen at

27
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:35,560
home and the big screen in theaters. It all seems

28
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:39,439
to be filled with the same type of action and

29
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,319
influence of the next episode of Stranger Things. Well, here

30
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,680
is the thing. A lot of what we're experiencing in

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,280
storytelling today is part of what's called the Stranger Things formula.

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,439
There are five different forces currently in action. The five

33
00:01:55,519 --> 00:02:01,760
seasons of Stranger Things gave viewers nostalgia, characters face dark times.

34
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,359
It was a small town mystery with a slow burning conspiracy.

35
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:12,479
Hollywood sees nostalgia as being safe with money by reducing risk.

36
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,039
It reminds viewers of goonies, et Stephen King, and even

37
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:23,120
eighties horror films. Streaming algorithms rewarded viewers by constantly connecting

38
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:26,400
them to shows like Stranger Things, and within a couple

39
00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,879
of days or even a week, everything that you're watching

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,680
has that rhythm and beat of Stranger Things, which I

41
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:37,000
believe is one hundred percent. The reason why Taylor Swift

42
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,319
is so popular today is it popularity? All it takes

43
00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:44,000
is one or two great songs and the next thing

44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,479
you know, you're jamming out to ten back to back

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:53,840
Taylor Swift songs. Hmm, coming up next? Why does everything

46
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:01,319
feel like we're watching Stranger Things over and over again? Hey,

47
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,919
welcome back to the Daily Mess. So why does it happen?

48
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Everything we're feeling right now feels like Stranger Things? An episode,

49
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,560
a new one here there, Oh, it's another one, but

50
00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:15,919
it's really not. The vibe has become a genre. Many

51
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,199
many shows are sold to the platforms due to the

52
00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:24,400
esthetic moods more than the origin of the concept. Tapping

53
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:28,680
into a cultural mood is so valuable and very important.

54
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,479
Stranger Things and other followers are pushing fans of the

55
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,560
story world into their childhood, innocence, government, mistrust, friendship, survival,

56
00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,400
and trauma right now. Those are the emotional connections that

57
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:46,879
people keep tapping into because of our living spaces and

58
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,159
how we're challenged by the oh no, the uncertainty of

59
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:55,240
the world. Interestingly enough, we as viewers have a lot

60
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,120
of things on our minds and the readers and directors

61
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:01,639
know it. Everything that we're taking in feels and acts

62
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:05,759
like it's a copy of something because it's familiar. This

63
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,560
happens when everyone's investing in the emotional atmosphere. This is

64
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520
usually when the hard work put in by the creative

65
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,160
teams starts to come across as being deluded. The one

66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,199
thing that stands out most is this feeling that viewers

67
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,800
are having that something deeper has got to be taking

68
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,519
place in a binge. Watch more than the five pm

69
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,279
national news. I know, let's tune in and find out. Uh,

70
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,759
I'm aeron And that's the daily mess
