In this newer segment of the show, JohnAugust and CraigMazin 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>
