'You got the good, the bad and the ugly with this character — and I was interested in the ugly.' A long conversation with Cristin Milioti about PalmSprings, pirate costumes, career detours and the need to reset herself
the comedy that she’s promoting in the middle of pandemic limbo, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, back when you could safely have a film festival, and ended up walking away with massive word-of-mouth buzz and a deal worth $17.5 million and 69 cents.

Try and be these other things, or you will fail.’ Because I couldn’t quite fit into those molds. A lot of people in the industry encounter this, but especially women. You’re asked to fit into this one specific thing, and if you can’t do that, no one knows what to do with you.”
