More about Quiz Lady:

In the original film, a brilliant but tightly wound, gameshow-obsessed young woman, Anne  (Awkwafina), and her estranged, train-wreck of a sister Jenny (Sandra Oh), must work together  to help cover their mother’s gambling debts. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, they set  out on a wild, cross-country trek to get the cash the only way they know how: by turning Anne  into a bona fide gameshow champion. The movie, which also stars Jason Schwartzman, Holland  Taylor, Tony Hale, and Will Ferrell, is directed by Jessica Yu, written by Jen D’Angelo, and  produced by Will Ferrell, Jessica Elbaum, Maggie Haskins, Itay Reiss, Jen D’Angelo, Awkwafina,  and Sandra Oh, with Alex Brown and Erika Hampson serving as executive producers. 

Quiz Lady is out streaming now on Hulu.
