Paid in Puke S9E1: The Truth About Cats & Dogs w/ Michael Lehmann

On our series 9 opener, we're pleased as punch to discuss the 1996 romantic comedy, "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" with the film's director, Michael Lehmann. You might also know him having directed a pretty cool movie called, "Heathers". Cats & Dogs is the screenplay debut for Audrey Wells (The Hate U Give, Under the Tuscan Sun) and stars Janeane Garofalo, and Uma Thurman.  We had the most delightful and insightful conversation with Mr. Lehmann on what is dated about the film, as well as the myriad ways it was transgressive in the 90s rom com genre. He talks of fighting alongside Wells to preserve the original intent of the script, even going head-to-head with the MPAA on some of the film's more empowering elements. Plus, some fun stories about actors who almost played Brian, and why male actors can be so difficult to work with.  You don't wanna miss his answer to our Lunchtime Poll: What is a little white lie you told that spun out of control?
