From Weekend Video and Plot Devices– this is The Writers Room Game Show! Join hosts and contestants Ryan Polly and Seth Worley as they develop an original feature film idea every week, starting with an assignment given to them by a "big Hollywood studio" in the form of random automation wizardry.
A whimsical political thriller for teenage boys starring Whoopi Goldberg? A depressing drama for the elderly that takes place in the Fast & Furious universe? Whatever the assignment, it's their job to develop it into a hit movie... in 60 minutes or less.
The Writers Room Game Show premieres on Wednesday, July 7 wherever you get your podcasts!
