John Slattery and Amanda Peet in The Romanoffs

Our thanks to writer Semi Chellas and creator/director Matthew Weiner (Mad Men) for their tip of the hat in episode 4 of the first season of The Romanoffs. In a bookstore, Daniel Reese (John Slattery) is wondering whether he should write a screenplay when he comes across Blake Snyder’s first book, Save the Cat! Go for it, Daniel! We’re here to help.
