    Deus Ex Machina - Examples from Cinema and ways to do it right
    Jan 19 2026

    In the first episode of Creative Contraband, we meet host Danny Barrett to tackle a problem every long-form storyteller faces: How do you keep a story coherent over months or years without resorting to convenient miracles or last-minute fixes?


    Today we explore the quiet mechanics behind great storytelling: Chekhov’s gun, Foreshadowing and the fine line between setup and Deus Ex Machina.

    You’ll learn how to plant narrative seeds early and make your players think you are a DnD mastermind.
