Actor Steve Coogan (‘The Trip’) and director Peter Cattaneo (‘The Full Monty’) join Matt Mahler to discuss their new film, ‘The Penguin Lessons.’ They touch on the book by Tom Michel, bonding with the two penguins on set, balancing tragedy and comedy, and bringing ‘Dr. Strangelove’ into the modern world with Coogan’s latest stage play. ‘The Penguin Lessons’ hits theaters on May 28, 2025, from Sony Pictures Classics.
‘The Penguin Lessons’ is inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in a school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.
