YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWriter, director, and star of the new movie “Maddie’s Secret,” John Early stops by to talk to Jordan Klepper about making his directorial debut with a movie that walks the unique line between melodramatic homage, ironic wink, and sincere emotion. He shares how the film is playing to the tropes and style of 80s TV movies, especially a cult classic called “Kate’s Secret,” what tickles him about food influencer culture, and why he was totally justified in incorporating an emotional dance sequence. #DailyShow #JohnEarly #MaddiesSecret
