Upon its release on April 28, 2011, Judd Apatow's Bridesmaids became a commercial and critical smash. The film would go on to earn more than $300 million at the worldwide box office — nearly 15 years later it remains the highest-grossing Apatow picture – and receive a Golden Globe nomination for Best Comedy Film, and two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay. That script, by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, is a big part of the film's success, a hilarious yet insightful exploration of women's friendships, class divides, and mid-life crises. So join us as the GPCD Players put on our Fritz Bernaise designs and attempt to determine the best Bridesmaids movie quote.

From "Freaks and Geeks" to "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," Judd has not only created cultural touchstones but has become known as one of Hollywood's greatest talent spotters and mentors.This conversation with Judd explores the inner workings of a master of craft—how empathy, vulnerability, relentless curiosity, and a deep respect for people have shaped his creative process, and how he stays grounded through it all.

Indy recommends the underappreciated coming of age series Freaks and Geeks, Samantha reads the novel Back in the Burbs by Avery Flynn and Tracy Wolff. Finally, we get ready for some Hitchcock as we preview The Birds!   I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa Freaks and Geeks is an American teen comedy-drama television series created by Paul Feig and executive-produced by Judd Apatow that aired on NBC during the 1999–2000 television season. The show is set in a suburban high school near Detroit during 1980–81. The theme of Freaks and Geeks reflects "the sad, hilarious unfairness of teen life". With little success when it first aired, because of an erratic episode schedule and conflicts between the creators and NBC, the series was canceled after airing 12 out of the 18 episodes. The series became a cult classic, and Apatow continued the show's legacy by incorporating the actors in future productions. The Birds is a 1963 American natural horror-thriller film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, released by Universal Pictures and starring Jessica Tandy, Rod Taylor, Suzanne Pleshette, and introducing Tippi Hedren in her film debut. Loosely based on the 1952 short story of the same name by Daphne du Maurier, it focuses on a series of sudden and unexplained violent bird attacks on the people of Bodega Bay, California, over the course of a few days. The screenplay is by Evan Hunter, who was told by Hitchcock to develop new characters and a more elaborate plot while keeping du Maurier's title and concept of unexplained bird attacks.

Andrew Buss has carved out a niche for himself as a pop culture expert, with a heavy emphasis on comedy. He has written for publications like Vanity Fair, New York Magazine's Vulture, The Daily Beast, Consequence of Sound, and The Laugh Button, where he served as editor for five years. As a journalist, Andrew has conducted interviews with some of the most prominent names in entertainment, including Mel Brooks, Seth Rogen, Nikki Glaser, Conan O'Brien, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Emma Stone, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Brendan Fraser, Jonah Hill, Bo Burnham, and countless others. In this interview, we talk about his writing and journalism journey, his new book I AM MCLOVIN, the legacy of SUPERBAD. When Superbad was released on August 17th in 2007, it proved itself to be a massive success right out of the gate, especially for those in the film's target millennial demographic. The film wound up dominating at the box office, bringing in $170 million dollars worldwide, against a $20 million dollar budget. It also launched the careers of Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Stone, Bill Hader, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Seth Rogen whose careers are all thriving to this day. It further proved that Judd Apatow is now one of the most successful film producers of his generation, bringing the world hit after hit. Superbad remains, to this day, a beloved comedy film for millennials who grew up with it. This is because, unlike other comedies of that era, it embraced the awkwardness of the characters, particularly with someone like Michael Cera. Unlike the cartoonish representations of an 80s comedy like Revenge of the Nerds, Superbad presented itself with depth to the characters that enabled millennials (and other generations) to bond with the movie in a more meaningful way.

Can You Be Reasonably Happy   In this episode of Richer Soul, I had the privilege of speaking with Paul Ollinger, a stand-up comedian, podcast host, and author who left a lucrative career at Facebook to chase his dream of comedy. Through his podcast, Reasonably Happy, Paul explores the interplay between money, happiness, work, and purpose. His life journey, marked by bold choices and valuable lessons, offers incredible insights into navigating life's financial and emotional complexities.   Key Takeaways: Childhood Money Scripts Matter: Paul grew up in a large Catholic family where money was stable but never abundant. This upbringing shaped his initial belief that wealth equates to freedom from stress—a script he reevaluated later in life. Chasing Dreams Is Risky but Rewarding: Paul's decision to leave Facebook to pursue stand-up comedy was financially unprofitable, but it brought him immense personal growth and fulfillment. Money and Happiness Are Interlinked but Complex: Paul's podcast and essays examine how financial success can coexist with personal happiness, emphasizing balance over blind ambition. The Power of Giving Back: From supporting his family as a child to providing thoughtful insights through his podcast, Paul embodies the spirit of contribution, proving that fulfillment often lies in lifting others.   Money Learning: Paul's journey reveals that our financial habits often stem from childhood experiences. His early lessons about saving and frugality played a pivotal role in his career choices. However, he emphasizes the importance of not letting outdated beliefs limit your growth. For Paul, real financial wisdom lies in balancing practical discipline with pursuing meaningful experiences.   About Paul Ollinger: Paul Ollinger is a stand-up comedian and the host of Reasonably Happy, a podcast where he discusses money, happiness, and work with renowned guests like Judd Apatow and LL COOL J. His latest book, Reasonably Happy, compiles over 200 interviews into humorous and insightful essays. Based in New York City, Paul lives with his wife, two teenagers, and their French bulldogs, Theo and Colonel Tom Parker​​.   Key Discussion Points: Early Money Lessons: Paul shared how his upbringing in a frugal, Catholic family shaped his financial mindset. His parents' values emphasized stability over luxury, which initially instilled in him the belief that wealth equated to stress-free living​. The Psychological Impact of Wealth: Paul discussed the emotional challenges of growing up with financial stress. He later learned to untangle these experiences to adopt a healthier relationship with money​. Balancing Career Risks and Fulfillment: Leaving a well-paying job at Facebook for comedy was a gamble. Paul explained how this decision was fueled by the desire for purpose and authenticity over monetary gain​. Cultural Narratives Around Money: Paul touched on societal attitudes towards wealth, noting how Catholicism often associates financial success with moral compromise—a narrative he actively worked to rewrite​. Teaching Financial Lessons to the Next Generation: As a parent, Paul is mindful of the lessons his children absorb from him, ensuring they learn the value of money without developing unhealthy attachments or anxieties.   Conclusion: Paul Ollinger's story is a testament to the fact that money, while essential, is just one piece of the happiness puzzle. His journey from corporate success to personal fulfillment through comedy and podcasting showcases the courage it takes to align your financial habits with your values and passions. Tune in to this episode to gain deeper insights into how money, happiness, and meaning intersect.   Links: Book on Amazon: Reasonably Happy: Essays on Money, Work and Other Things that Piss Me Off- https://www.amazon.com/Reasonably-Happy-Essays-Money-Things/dp/0997270659/ref=sr_1_1?crid=326TDOT9XWWGI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.dLZOV_Igvsr40nXuxzsMbULjnDLojjeLCAnUkSK67wDL2ByRXdMpN6QwaDis5Ewq.RqJ-nLbHhL2CsP6768q3Ko-D9W2Wo1HMtxKDr_cs7Es&dib_tag=se&keywords=paul+ollinger&qid=1733763670&sprefix=paul+ollinger,aps,208&sr=8-1   Substack: https://words.paulollinger.com/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

One thing we can agree on is that the love story part of the film drags on way too long. With too many comedian cameos to count, this film may be an ode to the past that Judd Apatow thinks is funny more than the audience does.

With Paul Ollinger | Comedian | Speaker | Host at 'Reasonably Happy' Podcast | Summary: In this episode, Paul Ollinger shares heartfelt lessons about money, happiness, and fulfillment, inspired by his father's example of frugality and contentment. Growing up in a large family, Paul reflects on how humour became a survival tool, fostering connection and resilience, and how it later shaped his career in comedy. He explores the role of laughter and joy in creating a meaningful life, highlighting how happier people often make better money decisions. Paul also examines the tension between chasing financial success and finding balance, offering insights into the difference between desire and compulsion in the pursuit of wealth. Through stories of gratitude, self-awareness, and aligning career choices with personal values, Paul provides fresh perspectives on the connection between humour, happiness, and financial well-being. BIO:After 15 years in sales at companies like Yahoo! and Facebook, Paul Ollinger left the corporate world to pursue comedy, performing at top clubs like Carolines on Broadway and Zanies, and sharing stages with stars like Norm Macdonald and Chelsea Handler. He hosts the Reasonably Happy podcast, exploring the connection between money, happiness, and meaning with guests like Judd Apatow, LL COOL J, and Nobel Prize winners. Paul's collection of essays, Reasonably Happy, was released October 2024. He lives in New York City with his wife, two teenagers, and their French bulldogs, Theo and Colonel Tom Parker. Highlights: The best money lessons often come from family. Frugality can bring both security and peace of mind. Humor can help navigate chaos and foster resilience. True happiness isn't tied to wealth; it's about defining 'enough.' Career choices should reflect your passions and values. Gratitude and self-awareness are essential for fulfillment. Meaningful experiences matter more than material possessions. Personal choices and reflection shape our relationship with money. Comparing yourself to others hinders happiness. Life's challenges and joys are both part of the journey. Quotes: "How much is enough?" "You have to be eminently unreasonable." "I wouldn't trade my life for your billions." "Life is 80% good stuff and 20% bullshit." Links: Paul's Book: Reasonably Happy: Essays on Money, Work and Other Things that Piss Me Off Paul Ollinger's Website: CLICK HERE

Is self-help real or nonsense? Jason and Peter have always been skeptical of the ability for self-help books and seminars to impact and improve a person's life…they even delved into the comedic aspects of the self-help world with their 2001 ABC sitcom “Bob Patterson.” So, when they discovered that Judd Apatow…uber successful screenwriter, producer, noted comedian, author and director of a myriad of cultural-defining comedies such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, This is 40, Funny People, Trainwreck and The King of Staten Island was a bit obsessed with the self-help genre… they needed to find out why! They discuss Judd's journey to self-help, his unique Ayahuasca experience, and why he writes his comedies as dramas! Really,no Really!!! *** IN THIS EPISODE: Is self-help real or nonsense? How Judd's parent's constant fighting enabled him to become a good producer & comedian. That one-time Judd took the hallucinogen Ayahuasca in exotic Studio City, CA… His comedic choices have become more geriatric as he's grown older. Was he afraid of being cancelled when returning to stand-up? The time high-school aged Judd asked Seinfeld to do a SECOND interview! Jason and Judd explore how they both came to the entertainment world.
