FEED DROP: On this Month's "Are You Mad At Me?," We Interview Shattered Glass Director Billy Ray

from Seattle Nice · host David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik

We're so excited to release our interview with Shattered Glass director Billy Ray, who was kind enough to indulge all our questions about our favorite movie, like:What happened between the scene where Chloe Sevigny confronts Peter Sarsgaard for firing Stephen and the next day, when she leads the team in applauding him for his brave decision? Where does Shattered Glass rank in the pantheon of movies Ray's written over the course of his career, which include blockbusters like The Hunger Games and Captain Phillips? And why does Ray think Stephen Glass kept digging himself deeper and deeper, inventing new lies right up until he was fired for fabricating dozens of stories?Billy Ray was a great sport, although he did give us shit for interviewing Adam Penenberg, the reporter who first busted Glass in a story for Forbes Digital Tool, before him. "I cannot understand why I wasn't your first fucking guest," he told us—"Who the hell did you interview before me? The three grips?" We hope you'll enjoy listening to our conversation with director Billy Ray as much as we enjoyed recording it. Hosts: Josh Feit and Erica C. BarnettEdited by: Erica C.
