Guillermo del Toro

Guillermo del Toro joins Dax Shepard to discuss his peculiar childhood, from his father winning the lottery twice to promising the monsters in his bedroom lifelong friendship. He shares how he channeled the trauma of his father's kidnapping into writing The Devil's Backbone, and recounts the time James Cameron nearly fought Harvey Weinstein on his behalf. Del Toro reveals his philosophy that monsters are more honest than people, and why creative shortcuts rob us of the most meaningful part of the process. He also reflects on the difference between being loved and being celebrated, and announces his plan to rerelease Pan’s Labyrinth in 3D.
