Series creator Paul Feig joined ‘Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary’ director Brent Hodge for a chat.

Full disclosure:Freaks and Geeks: The Documentarywas produced byEntertainment WeeklyforA&Es Cultureshock series.

Sometimes it feels like, what is even left to say aboutFreaks and Geeks?

WithFreaks and Geeks: The Documentary, director Brent Hodge found something else to say.

The Documentaryis about a show chronicling a group of high school rejects that was itself a reject.

Here are the biggest highlights from Feig and Hodge reminiscing on the series.

Francos one-word response was: Yeah.

He handed me this box of mini DVDs from 1998.

He was like, it’s possible for you to have this.

No ones seen this footage, Hodge said.

There was hundreds of hours of footage.

They were like, Shes really popular now.

Maybe she can play, like, a waitress or something.

The series creator doesnt look back on any of the networks stunt suggestions and think they couldve worked.

He didnt get the show and thats fine, people dont get stuff all the time, he said.

We were the bottom-rated show on NBC for pretty much the second half of the run.

Its show business, and the business side just didnt hold up.

Everyone was talking about Garth Ancier.

He said, Id be happy to.

Honestly, I really respect him, even though hes the most evil man no, Im kidding.

You liked it, he told Feig, then Jason Segel really liked his 27-piece drumset.

We just kept going.

It almost went overboard.

Theres an opportunity to make theFreaks and Geeksfilm, Hodge said.

You have one chance.

You have to get Dennis DeYoung from Styx.

You have to get that song, you have to get Joan Jett.

Its almost like an obligation to do that.

What if his girlfriend ended up having a dick?

Lets actually look into this thing.

The goal was avoid writing about something that had already been done before.

As a result, much of their own personal experiences were translated to the screen.

When we did those questionnaires, we got the group together before we started writing anything, Feig recalled.

The moment Feig knew the show was dead

I was talking to some critic.

I said, What did you think about the audition scene?

It was great, right?

And he goes, When that scene came on, I had to get up and leave the room.

I couldnt watch it because I knew it was gonna go wrong.

I was like, Well, thats not what youre supposed to do.

Youre supposed to revel in how fun this is.

This, he said, was the moment he knew the show was dead.

I want to remember people as I did, he said of his own former classmates.

I dont want to know if something bad happened.

So many people relish in [who became] bald and fat.

No, I like those people and I like my memories of them.

I was the one she would call to bail her out of trouble.

The call would always be something like, You gotta come pick me up.

I left my car at the bar.

Feig, however, wants to do a staged rendition of the show.

Ive been saying for 15 years I so wanna do theFreaks and Geeksmusical, he said.

A musical number of a dodgeball game, come on!
