Paul Feig Had to Break His Own Rules to Direct 'Another Simple Favor'

Paul Feig's latest film, Another Simple Favor, is an interesting case study on the state of comedies. Not to mention, it’s the director's first sequel (a topic we passionately debate deeper into our conversation). The first film — starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively — was released in 2018 and was a financial success, grossing just under $100 million. The sequel won’t see theaters at all, as it is now streaming on Prime Video. And while the film certainly has its fair share of comedic situations, it's hard to say that Feig directed yet another straight-up comedy.
