===Segue Man===
Mazin is the more emotionally expressive of the two podcasts hosts. When Mazin delivers impassioned speeches, August will typically agree with Mazin on content and then transition into the next item on the agenda. Because of August's focus on pacing and transitions during the show, Mazin has christened August

=== Revelations about the Game of Thrones pilot ===
The showrunners of Game of Thrones went on the Scriptnotes podcast and broke news about the poor condition of the original pilot. According to them, 90% of the pilot had to be reshot following a screening of the episode to Mazin and other fellow screenwriters.<ref name="auto1">{{cite web|url=http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/02/game-of-thrones-original-pilot-bad|title=Game of Thrones Show-Runners Get Extremely Candid About Their Original "Piece of Sh—t" Pilot|website=Vanity Fair}}</ref>
=== The One with the Guys from Final Draft ===
Line 79 ⟶ 75:
This prompted Michael Cavana from The Washington Post's Comic Riffs to reach out to [[She-Hulk]] co-creator [[Stan Lee]] for a response.
<blockquote>When Lee, as writer, co-created She-Hulk with artist John Buscema (the character debuted in February of 1980, in Savage She-Hulk #1), he was absolutely focused on his gamma-green superheroine having brains. Lee tells The Post’s Comic Riffs this evening, in response to Goyer’s words: “I know I was looking for a new female superhero, and the idea of an intelligent Hulk-type grabbed me.”<ref name="auto3">{{cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2014/05/21/she-hulk-co-creator-stan-lee-weighs-in-on-david-goyer-debate-only-a-nut-would-even-think-of-that/|title=SHE-HULK co-creator Stan Lee weighs in on David Goyer debate: ‘Only a nut would even think of that’|last1=Cavana|first1=Michael|date=May 21, 2014|website=washingtonpost.com|publisher=|accessdate=March 16, 2016}}</ref></blockquote>
=== Mazin and Ted Cruz ===
During his freshman year at [[Princeton University|Princeton]], Mazin was roommates with junior U.S. Senator and 2016 presidential candidate [[Ted Cruz]]. Mazin has been open about his dislike for Cruz,<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/02/opinion/anyone-but-ted-cruz.html|title= Anyone but Ted Cruz|last1= Bruni|first1= Frank|date= December 2, 2015|website= nytimes.com|publisher= |accessdate= March 22, 2016}}</ref> and on episode 113
<blockquote>And, you know, I want to be clear, because Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being. I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that ninety-nine percent of why I hate him is just his personality. If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only one percent less.</blockquote>
