My guest on this week’s That’s How I Remember It is Edward “Eddy” Kitsis, who has had a fantastic career as a writer and producer of TV and film. Alongside his partner Adam Horowitz, he has written for television shows like Lost, Popular, Felicity, and more. Eddy and Adam also created and produced Once Upon a Time, which ran for seven successful seasons on ABC, and wrote the screenplay for Tron: Legacy. More recently, Eddy and Adam worked with Steven Spielberg on Amazing Stories for Apple TV. But here’s the twist: Eddy has also been my best friend since 8th grade. We get into the way his memories show up in scripts, how his experience seeing the first Tron in the theater affected the writing on the sequel, Easter candy writing metaphors, the influence of older siblings, ’80s concerts, and the mystery of our differing recollections of a Thelonious Monster show from 1994. A huge thanks to Eddy for joining us, this was a really fun episode. Please listen and subscribe, as we have more amazing guests coming up in the next few weeks.
