Description

Producer Jennifer Todd returns to the podcast to discuss 1997's Mike Myers led comedy Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Inspired by his dad's distinctly British humor and the James Bond films, Mike and Jenn took a risk on both the concept and first time feature director Jay Roach. Initially, it was a hard sell with audiences who didn't know how to react to the film's satirical and raunchy nature, but it went on to become the legendary launch of one of comedy's most successful franchises.
