Paul Feig: "The internet will eventually turn on you. I'm getting bullied by all these people. It really kinda knocked me sideways."

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.

The UK's greatest female rock n roll legend, Lulu, has been in the music industry for over 60 years. She's seen people come, she's seen people go. She's seen people make it, break it, fake it. She has seen them rise, and she has seen them fall.
And all the while she's had a curiosity - what is it that makes people tick? How have they got to where they are? Where does their motivation come from? Where do they get their resilience? When life throws curveballs, how have they overcome them? What are their turning points?
In this brand-new project, Lulu sits down with guests to discuss the pivotal moments in their lives that have shaped them into the people they are today.
