This week: Oscar-winning director Charles Ferguson talks about his film "Watergate, or How We Learned to Stop an Out-of-Control President." We talk about why John McCain wanted to talk with him, all those Trump-Nixon parallels people keep making, and which young congresswoman deserves a movie of her own. Plus: We talk about William Goldman's amazing "All the President's Men," and how it created the impression that Woodward and Bernstein tag-teamed Nixon's demise.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Karen Gillan on a Witch Story, Avengers 4 Secrecy and 'The Party's Just Beginning'

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
