This week on The Rushfield Lunch, I was joined by the great Lena Dunham (known least of all as an Ankler fan and subscriber). We had a terrific and, dare I say, inspiring chat about her projects ahead, what films belong on Mount RomCom, what it was like dealing with the first wave of social media blowback at the dawn of Girls, what it’s like suddenly finding a generation younger than you claiming the zeitgeist — and her exceptionally wise and moving advice for the young folks today. It’s great conversation, and if you missed it, give it a watch in the video above.
I go live each week on Wednesday at 11 a.m. PT. Subscribers receive an email alert when The Rushfield Lunch has begun; paid subscribers can join our conversation. This coming Wednesday, April 30, my guest will be my friend and former L.A. Times colleague, the prolific Meghan Daum, who just published her seventh book, an essay collection titled The Catastrophe Hour.
My earlier episodes featured Amazon Studios founder Roy Price, Substack cofounder Hamish McKenzie, longtime film producer and exec Ted Hope, and Matthew Specktor, author of the new Hollywood memoir The Golden Hour. All episodes are archived on our YouTube page.

Can’t afford The Ankler right now?

No mogul or mogul-to-be left behind here at The Ankler.
