Bruce Dern and Will Forte as Woody and David Grant

The Bad Guys Close In beat of Nebraska (written by Bob Nelson and directed by Alexander Payne) is a perfect example of how the beats of a good story, well told, work together. Brilliantly delivering on their set-ups, while revealing aspects of the characters’ emotional journeys, the pay-offs of this Bad Guys Close In beat are plentiful. Hear Master Cat! Jose Silerio and Guy Thompson discuss the internal lives of Woody (Bruce Dern) and his son, David (Will Forte), as developed from the Midpoint through the BGCI in this masterful father-son/family tale.
