In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats to director, producer, screenwriter and actor Paul Feig.


Paul talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life - his TV show Freaks and Geeks being cancelled at the same time as losing his mum; directing hit movie Bridesmaids; and coming to terms with the backlash he received after he remade Ghostbusters.


He talks about his new film Another Simple Favour and working with Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick; what it was like to direct President Donald Trump back in 2010; and what advice he'd give to anyone wanting to get into the film industry. One word. Pivot.

Another Simple Favour launches globally on Prime Video from 1st May 2025.
