The Freakier Friday release this year offered fans of the original movie a lot of nostalgia (and clever callbacks). One highlight of the new comedy is how it brought back the fictional female-led punk band Pink Slip in a big way. When CinemaBlend spoke to Freaker Friday’s director, she told us about getting the band back together and whether Lohan really can shred a guitar.

Nisha Ganatra was brought on to helm Freakier Friday following fans of the beloved Disney comedy basically speaking the sequel into existence. During our interview with the director, she said this about reuniting Pink Slip.
