What does it take to make a movie about one of America’s most controversial presidents in an industry that didn’t want it made? In this behind-the-scenes exclusive, Dr. Phil sits down with film producer and author Mark Joseph to discuss his new memoir "Making REAGAN" and unpack the untold journey behind the making of "Reagan" the movie, starring Dennis Quaid.

From unreliable financiers and COVID shutdowns to navigating deep political divides and fraudsters who nearly tanked the project, Joseph shares the personal and professional chaos that came with telling Reagan’s story truthfully. He talks candidly about why Quaid was the only actor who could pull it off, how real-life Cold War threats inspired fictional KGB characters, and why Reagan’s flaws were the key to humanizing him on screen.

Tune in and find out:

  • Why Hollywood tried to bury the film—and how it survived.

  • What Reagan’s son and inner circle really thought of the final cut.

  • How personal loss, timing, and emotional maturity shaped Quaid’s performance.

  • The business of biopics—and how to spot a fraud in the film industry.
