Will Packer's Hard-Earned Hollywood Wisdom

The prolific producer, whose new project Fight Night debuts on Peacock September 5, has built a career on entertaining audiences Hollywood often overlooks. He shares a few secrets of how he's done it, and how surviving the TikTok era and the post-strike industry requires some optimism — but also willingness to take risks. 

The episode also includes a look ahead to the Telluride Film Festival with guest co-host Sean Fennessey, and some speculation about how Challengers might make a slow awards-season comeback.
