===How Would This Be a Movie?===
In this newer segment of the show, August and Mazin 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>{{cite web|url=http://johnaugust.com/2015/how-would-this-be-a-movie|title=Scriptnotes, 201: How would this be a movie?|publisher=|accessdate=8 October 2016}}</ref>

<blockquote>And, you know, I want to be clear, because Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being. I have plenty of problems with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that ninety-nine percent of why I hate him is just his personality. If he agreed with me on every issue, I would hate him only one percent less.</blockquote>
