Writer and director Michael Showalter (The Eyes of Tammy Faye, The Idea of You) joins Popcorn Podcast to unwrap the heartfelt chaos of his new Christmas film Oh. What. Fun, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Longoria, Felicity Jones and more. He reveals why holiday movies hit his nostalgic sweet spot, how the script balanced humour and truth, and why a weekly pickleball meetup became the emotional glue of the production.
