Paul Feig on New Movie Jackpot! and Directing John Cena, Awkwafina, and Machine Gun Kelly

Paul Feig joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Jackpot!, his new movie starring John Cena and Awkwafina (watch it now on Amazon Prime). Listen now.

Set in the near future, Jackpot! follows a new California lottery that has one strange rule: if you're able to kill the winner, you legally claim their prize. The director launches into the comedy and tension inherent to such a concept before telling stories from production.

Feig then chats about finding his lane in action comedy, how far they were able to take the premise without crossing any lines, and how he convinced John Cena to sing "Turtle Power" from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. He also touches on Machine Gun Kelly's many talents, as well as his upcoming sequel to A Simple Favor.

Listen to Paul Feig chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.
