This week is the 40th anniversary of Private Benjamin, Meyers’s first screenplay. Meyers would go on to write and direct a number of modern comedy classics, including What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give, It’s Complicated, and, yes, The Holiday. Sean and Amanda dive deep into her filmography to build a Hall of Fame for one of the most successful and arguably underrated filmmakers of her time.
