We Need a Movie About Harry Eastlack, the Man With Two Skeletons

Harry Eastlack was only a child when he broke a bone that wouldn't heal. Instead, his skeleton began to grow abnormally, his bones doubling over one another, until he suffocated from his own bones. But with his final, heroic act, he did something to try to save anyone else from suffering as he did. We talk this week with Metabook creator Benjamin Alfonsi about "The Face Phantom," a project inspired by the macabre Mutter Museum -- where Eastlack's skeleton still resides.  Hosted on Acast.

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.
