## Resource

Hi, everybody. Kristin, Rich, and George welcome screenwriters Julie and Shawna Benson to the show this week. The Emmy Award winning Benson sisters have written for The 100, Wu Assassins, Star Trek: Prodigy, Emma Approved, and more! They ventured into writing comics with Batgirl and the Birds of Prey for DC Comics as part of their Rebirth initiative. They followed that up with a stint on Green Arrow. In addition to talking about their careers, they tell our hosts about their love of Turner Classic Movies (RIP Ted Turner), Doctor Who, Disney Parks, and so much more including their recent trip to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. In honor of having both Benson sisters on the show, this episode is twice as long and twice as fun! For more information on the Benson Sisters, go to https://www.thebensonsisters.com . Julie blogs about screenwriting and the Hollywood machine in general (among so many other things) at https://writingandwhatnot.com . Plus, she has just made Setiquette: The Film and TV Set Survival Guide available for purchase on her site https://writingandwhatnot.com/shop/p/setiquette . It is the ultimate, go-to guide for anyone new to the industry and a great resource for those already in the field. Shawna plays video games on Twitch! Find her @scribbler_sb.
