Todd Phillips on KCRW’s “The Treatment”

June 8, 2011

The silver lining of LA traffic: I’ve been catching up on podcasts lately, including the below interview of writer/director/producer Todd Phillips (The Hangover Part 2) by Elvis Mitchell on KCRW’s “The Treatment,” from last week. My favorite bit: During a discussion of how to do sequels well, Phillips says he thought Meet The Fockers was so bad it made him re-evaluate whether he liked Meet The Parents in the first place.

No mention of Little Fockers, which one assumes he hasn’t seen.

  • Disappointed

    The same can be said of the Hangover II. I can’t tell if I liked the first one now or not. But if you ask Todd, he’ll tell you he’s a comedic genius. I just hope he pays the price one day at the box office for pushing this terrible sequel on us and claiming it’s original and fresh.

    He sounds like he honestly believes Part II is inspired and brilliant. He’s not being honest with himself.
