He's Back! Phil Stark, Writer of 'Dude, Where's My Car?" on How to Be a Screenwriter Artwork

Reckless Creatives

A Pipeline Artists original podcast about nothing and everything. Hosts Sadie Dean and Jeanne Veillette Bowerman share the truth, and nothing but the truth, about the challenges and benefits of living life as artists, striving for freedom to create in any medium, even ones you never thought of before. It's honest—no sugarcoating or selling hope. We tell it like it is, while always finding ways to make lemonade out of lemons. Think of us as Michael Bay, but with action items that don’t explode.

He's Back! Phil Stark, Writer of 'Dude, Where's My Car?" on How to Be a Screenwriter

February 10, 2026 • Season 5 • Episode 8

0:00 | 47:37

Sadie and Jeanne chat (yet again) with the fabulous screenwriter-turned-therapist Phil Stark (Dude, Where's My Car, "That 70s Show," "South Park") about his new book How to Be a Screenwriter.

There's talk of therapy for writing partnerships, the morality of using A.I., what inspired Phil to write a screenwriting book, and how he aimed to bring a new perspective to the bookshelves—by talking about what it's really like to be a screenwriter.

Come for the advice, stay for the banter.
