Happy Sad Confused

The one and only Michael Douglas joins the podcast. Michael bares all in his new memoir, ONE HELLUVA RIDE, and he sits down with Josh to share an even more in-depth look at the book’s revelations–plus a few that didn’t make it to the page. From telling his father, Kirk Douglas, that he wanted to act, to getting pushed by Oliver Stone on the set of WALL STREET, to an account of what it was like to film intimate scenes before an intimacy coordinator became the standard, to why he decided to do ANT-MAN, this episode is a treat for anyone who’s resonated with Michael’s prolific life.

Recorded at the 92nd Street Y
