Take 4 - Screenwriter Dan Hernandez, Detective Pikachu, the Tick and 1600 Penn.

We talk to screenwriter Dan Hernandez. He tells us about how he handled the pressure of writing fan favorite Detective Pikachu, the big opportunities that got away in his career and going to high school with Josh Gad.
He explains the benefits of being part of a writing duo, the importance of finding people around you with good 'taste' and how he handles the anxiety and rejection of a career in Hollywood.
Dan tells how every big rejection in his career led back to eventual success, losing a movie because it was funded by Russian mobsters and the importance of luck in your career.
