Scott Frank is one of Hollywood’s most prolific screenwriters but he still has perpetual anxiety about his job security. Scott and Marc talk about the impulse that keeps him grinding away, whether he’s working on original screenplays, rewrites, or his limited series like Godless, The Queen’s Gambit and his new Netflix show Department Q. They also talk about Scott’s mentors, his influences, and the construction of his most well known screenplays, like Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Minority Report, and Logan.

Alright, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers, what the fuck buddies, what the fuck nicks, what the fuckadelics. What's happening? I'm Marc Maron. This is my podcast, WTF. It's been my podcast for almost 16 years. That's crazy. That's crazy. Ja, how you doing? Today on the show I talked to Scott Frank.
He's a writer, director, producer and one of the most prolific screenwriters in Hollywood. He wrote the screenplays for Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Minority Report, Logan and a lot more, including dozens of uncredited rewrites on films like Saving Private Ryan and Gravity.
He's the writer and director of the Netflix series Godless and The Queen's Gambit, as well as the new crime thriller Department Q, which I watched all of. You know, I've never been a binge-watching series guy, but I've had a few guests lately where I get it. I get how it's satisfying. And Department Q was very satisfying. And I also watched Friends and Neighbors.
92, 93?
Somewhere in there. And... We don't stay in touch as much as we should because sometimes, you know, friendships, it's not even that they get strained. All of a sudden you just, time flies. Not even like that. Time, you just kind of realize one day like, oh fuck, I haven't talked to that guy in a month or two or three or six.
I can't even really remember the last time we hung out, but it had been a while. Und es ist einfach ein interessanter Moment, wenn du noch nie einen Freund gesehen hast und deine Vertreter, und du siehst ihn und denkst dir, wow, wir sind alte Leute. Und schau, ich sage nicht, dass ich alt bin, ich weine nicht darüber, aber ich bin 61.
