Summary
Actor and writer Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Licorice Pizza, New Girl) and actor, writer, filmmaker, and "everyone's sexual awakening", Lake Bell (Bless This Mess, In a World, Harley Quinn) join Jameela for a gloriously unfiltered session of tiny humiliations and lifelong cringes.
Mary Elizabeth shares the on set moment a costumer quietly asked if she'd braided her pubic hair, plus the C section experience where she tried to keep everyone comfortable by joking about the smell of her own burning flesh. Lake relives the day she introduced herself to Brad Pitt in a way that could not have landed worse, along with the colonoscopy story that still makes her sweat with embarrassment.
Together they unravel convertible rage spirals, postpartum clothing fails, and the universal effort to look put together while feeling anything but.
Catch Mary Elizabeth Ellis in the Netflix series Man on the Inside and Lake Bell in The Chair Company on HBO Max.
Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.
Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.
