Lucia Aniello

But, you know, again, I directed one movie.

It was called Rough Night that Paul and I wrote.

But I was the first woman in 20 years to direct an R-rated comedy.

So that's crazy.

That is crazy.

Yeah, that was in 2017.

And so...

If anything, we've been so blessed and lucky to have such a different experience than Debra had.

But I think we appreciate and understand the kind of path that women like her had to forge for us to have these lucky experiences.

And so we are so grateful.

And I think in a way, the show is an homage to the kinds of women who had to deal with so much sexism and not having the opportunities that their male counterparts had.

And so this is our way of saying thank you.

Oh, I love that.

I think part of the reason that it in some ways was prescient that that happened is because, you know, we are spreading authoritarian regime here.

You know, we have concentration camps in our backyards.

You know, this AI is becoming something that's being forced upon us in so many ways and whatever.

And as these looming, nobody can afford health care, nobody can pay their rent, whatever, gas, crazy, whatever.

My point is, it's becoming increasingly unlivable to live in this country.

And as a result, people are really frustrated and this government is clamping down further and further.

And then who's on the front lines of saying, hey, this is really bad?
