We Need New Talkers

Issue 83 | May 2026

It's a beautiful sunny day in Orange, CA, and Steve Spoolbie has raised his hand sheepishly for the 16th time in screenwriting 127. "What if the girl character spoke less? Always good to have sexy mystique!". Why must it always be this kind of person who feels the need to speak? How about we install a hard reset, all new talkers starting tomorrow. No more group leaders, no more friends spamming their instagram stories with anecdotes about a bad situation they got themselves in, no more handing the mic to some freak at a masterclass. We need new talkers, that are nice and chill and not so fucking annoying. How interesting would your statement be if you weren't the one saying it? I am so fucking curious what Chelsea Cherbyl has to say about Steve's scripts. I don't think I've even heard her cough. Chelsea, do you also think the sun is shining extra bright today? Do you think Steve should kill himself too? Please, just say anything. You non talkers are all so intriguing. Please take the time to talk today, to save us from the people that just be talking fr. Love you all.
