Paul Feig is a renowned director, writer, and producer known for his work on hit comedies like Freaks and Geeks, Bridesmaids, and Ghostbusters. He's also a great admirer of a well-made martini and perhaps Hollywood’s most fashionably dressed filmmaker. In this episode, Paul shares what fueled his Hollywood aspirations, his approach to crafting comedies, and why women often take center stage in his films. He also opens up about the vitriolic online backlash to his 2016 female-led Ghostbusters reboot and explains why you won’t see any guns in his latest film, Jackpot.
