===How Would This Be a Movie?===
In this newer segment of the show, John and Craig pull a few current stories from the news and discuss if and how those stories could be adapted into feature films. The discussion often includes brainstorming several different genres and approaches a perspective writer could take on the story, discussing how to collapse or expand the details of the story to fit a feature film, and determining which of the week's stories, if any, have any serious potential as a future film. The segment debuted in episode 201, when the stories included [[2015 FIFA corruption case|scandals in FIFA]], the Large Hadron Collider, and sexual assault on college campuses.<ref>http://johnaugust.com/2015/how-would-this-be-a-movie</ref>
===Female Reproductive Health===
While both are successful screenwriters, Mazin and August are also exceedingly knowledgeable about issues related to female reproductive health, with August stating "if there’s one thing we know even more than screenwriting, it’s women’s reproductive health."<ref>http://johnaugust.com/2011/scriptnotes-ep-2-how-to-get-an-agent-andor-manager-transcript</ref> Mazin went so far to say that "I wish we [as a podcast] were just about vaginal issues."<ref>http://johnaugust.com/2012/scriptnotes-ep-35-the-disney-dilemma-transcript</ref> The topic has been discussed on various episodes with varying degrees of depth, culminating with Mazin delivering a three-minute lecture on [[Bacterial vaginosis|vaginosis]] in Episode 232: Fun With Numbers.<ref>http://johnaugust.com/2016/scriptnotes-ep-232-fun-with-numbers-transcript</ref>
