On this week’s episode of You Are What You Read, we are joined by Academy Award and Emmy-Award winning director, producer, and writer Ed Zwick with his instant New York Times bestselling autobiography, Hits, Flops and Other Illusions. 

Ed directed some of the greatest movies of our time: Glory, Legends of the Fall, Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai, Courage Under Fire, Love & Other Drugs, and Defiance; and produced Steven Soderbergh's Traffic and Shakespeare in Love. With his longtime creative partner, Marshall Herskovitz, Ed co-created Emmy-award winning television shows, thirtysomething and Once Again. He's directed Hollywood's biggest stars from Denzel Washington to Julia Roberts, and in this conversation, Ed unpacks his intimate memoir about his career behind the movie camera.
