[ WP ] Five surfers end up at an ISIS recruitment meeting because they heard the dudes are `` radical . ''

**OK, hack writer. Whatcha got for me? ** 
 
 Well, Mr. Movie Executive, Sir. 
 
 **Please. No need to be so formal. Call me Sir. ** 
 
 Well, Sir. I was thinking about making a movie about what's going on in Flint. The water. 
 
 **Pass. Too dark. ** 
 
 The water? 
 
 **No! The movie. And the water, I guess. No one wants to go and watch people drink poison unless its binge drinking teenagers. Plus Flint makes people think of Michael Moore. I do n't care for him one way or the other, but he do n't sell tickets. What else? ** 
 
 How about a movie where people fight against the justice system? *Making A Murderer* is huge now, and -- 
 
 **Nope. By the time we turn it around, that wo n't be a thing anymore. By then the big documentary on Netflix will be about, I do n't know... bolo ties. No one saw this Avery guy coming. ** 
 
 ( crickets chirp ) 
 
 So we both avoided a bad joke. For this I went to USC? 
 
 **So did I. That's how you got this meeting. But you're not gon na have it for much longer unless you give me something with some pow, some zing. Some action! **

 **Like `` Point Break'' meets `` Zero Dark Thirty''! Brilliant! ** 
 
 That was fast! 
 
 **Yeah, well, I'm bored with writing this and dinner's ready. Maybe I'll put as much effort into the next one as you put into your pitch. ** 
 
 God, I hope not!
