McG on Body Switch Movies, His 90s Music Videos, & Having Weezer In His New Movie

McG joins Kyle Meredith to talk about his new Netflix film, Family Switch. The movie, which stars Jennifer Garner, Ed Helms, Emma Myers, and a lineup of great cameos, finds a chance encounter with an astrological reader (Rita Moreno) that causes the Walkers to wake up to a full body switch between all of the members of the family. The director tells us why he wanted to add to the canon of body switch movies like Vise Versa and Freaky Friday, what it was like to workshop with the actors for each of them to play against their age, and having Jennifer Garner cook for everyone at her home in order to bring them all closer together. McG, who got his start making some of the biggest music videos of the 90s and 2000s for Korn, Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Barenaked Ladies, and tons of others, discusses who that part of his career still influences what he does now, how he got those incredible colors that became part of his calling card, and how he got Weezer to be in this movie, as well as the cover song jam session they had with Ed Helms.
