Shoot This Now
by Tim Molloy
We talk about true stories that we think should be made into TV shows or movies. First we talk about why they belong on-screen -- then we talk about how we'd like to see them on-air: Who should direct, who should write, who should star. We dig up lesser-known people whose stories deserve to be told, forgotten moments in history, and fresh angles on very familiar memories.
Your hosts, Tim and Deirdre, are married writers who only recommend stories that we would personally want to see. Join us and follow us at @ShootThisNowPod. Thanks!
We love you.

And Tom Hanks as The Antichrist
32m · PublishedHave you ever said "This should be a movie?" Yes, you have. So have TheWrap's Matt Donnelly and Tim Molloy, and with "Shoot This Now," they focus every week on a different story they think want to see onscreen, drawing on things they read, stories they overhear, and even their own strange life experiences.
This episode, we focus on the movie "God," a Steven Spielberg film starring Brad Pitt as God, Elisabeth Shue as his mortal love interest, and Tom Hanks as his nemesis. The movie was never released, sadly, because it was a hoax by GQ magazine.
We also talk about movies Matt wants to see at the Sundance Film Festival, and the wise thing Tim learned from Kumail Nanjiani.
