Featured Friday: Unexpected Connections

WALL-E and EVE hold hands while watching an explosion. EVE has Christmas lights wrapped around her like a lasso.
Romcom + Robots + Trashpocalypse + (Battlestar Galactica - Space Combat). You remember PEMDAS, right?

Weekend Read, our app for reading scripts on your phone, features a new curated collection of screenplays each week.

This week, we celebrate relationships showing up in ways that the characters or the audience might not expect. We have humans in love with someone not-quite human, love between two non-humans, and even love between humans (with very specific reasons for believing love was out of the question for them).

Our collection includes:

  • Anomalisa by Charlie Kaufman
  • Her by Spike Jonze
  • Lars and the Real Girl by Nancy Oliver
  • Punch Drunk Love by Paul Thomas Anderson
  • The Lobster by Yorgos Lanthimos & Efthimis Filippou
  • The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro & Vanessa Taylor
  • WALL-E by Andrew Stanton and Jim Reardon

Read these and other featured collections only on Weekend Read 2, available on all Mac and iOS devices. Download for free!
