Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis may have come and gone at the box office, but the big-budget epic is still a fresh topic of conversation.

During an episode of her Good For You podcast, a clip of which was shared on TikTok, the veteran stand-up comedian claimed she had a “horror audition” for Coppola’s latest film.

“This was such a core trauma for me,” explained the multi-hyphenate who has long worked as an actress, writer, director and producer. She went on to say that she got a call that Coppola wanted her to audition for the film — which she actually doesn’t name in the clip, though it’s clear she’s talking about his long-gestating epic that grossed $13 million at the global box office on a budget estimated to be roughly $120 million. Cummings says she threw herself into the audition, preparing “for days” and spending north of three hours in hair and makeup.
