It's _Adventures in the Screen Trade_ by William Goldman. Yes, that William Goldman - _The Princess Bride_, _All The President's Men_, _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_. It's about how his books were made into screenplays and then into movies. It's pretty eye-opening about the ins-and-outs of film production.

I've got a treat for you, my sister friend, Georgia!
Have you ever heard of Dead Pilot's Society?
Dead Pilots Society
with Andrew Reich and Ben Blacker
In Dead Pilots Society, scripts that were developed by studios and networks but were never produced are given the table reads they deserve. Starring actors you know and love from television and film, a live audience, and a good time in which no one gets notes, no one is fired, and everyone laughs. Presented by Andrew Reich (Friends; Worst Week) and Ben Blacker (The Writers Panel podcast; co-creator, Thrilling Adventure Hour).
You can find it online, by scrolling down the page, at:
