Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to the Robin and Kid podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hello guys, Hello, I feel like I've just gone on
a complete rollercoaster with Jeff and Jonathan and they were
ending singing show tunes at me. And I don't feel
like I've actually got any idea about the film, So
I feel like it's up to you guys to please
tell me all of the amazing stuff, like, for example,
(00:26):
the sets were built, you were actually playing in this
entire amazing experience.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yeah, yeah, everything was there. The as Dust ballroom was
like exactly how you see it. It was like we
were in it and it was that. I mean, it
made it so exciting and like tactile it was. It
was so cool.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Each each had its own little charm to it, for sure,
and they were all just so beautifully done from the library. So,
like you said, the as Dust it wasn't lucky enough
to pop over to the Emerald City, but even on
screen is so so gorgeous. So there was so much,
so much thought and love put into making all tho stuffs,
(01:07):
and so much so many people behind the scenes. People
don't talk about, like how many people are actually there
to make it all happen and to make the magic
and they did the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
And how many puppies?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
What is it not? Nine million tulips?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Tulips?
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yes, well it was a tulip field. The munch can
lend tulip fields. But the poppies definitely play a big role.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Okay, Yeah, because I ended up finishing Pot one desperately
wanting more of both of you and knowing the story,
hopefully we get more of both of you, do we
know it?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
There's definitely more of both of us in Part two. Yes,
this is like the very start of our journey to get.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Like a little peak, little sneak peek into us. But
it's it's where you get to get to know the
characters and see where they're coming from and find their
humanity as well, because, as Jeff says, as the Wizard says,
it's all about finding a villain, and I think it's
all up to perspective as well as who the audience
(02:09):
does see as the villain, because there's nobody, no character
in this film is perfect. They all definitely have their flaws.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Everyone seems to have a story of how they found
out they got the pot. How did you guys do it?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I don't know if my story is nearly as good
as Marissa, So I'll I'll let Marsa take it. Your
story is incredible.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It's pretty cool, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
You just you said it well.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
So I was auditioning for this over the span of
a few weeks. The first initial callback that I heard
back from Casting freaked out for sure, And after like
a few days, I just did not hear back from Casting,
and so I was like, I need to distract myself immediately,
otherwise I will be spiraling. And so so I made
(02:56):
this cute little short film, made it a little bit
spooky because it was almost October at that time, and
it was all about turning your bad luck into good
luck and about casting a spell. And at the end
of the video, somebody knocks out the door because the
spell that I create in the video is good news
will soon come knocking. Little did I know, two days
(03:18):
after I made that and posted it to my Instagram,
I got a call back from Casting telling me they
want me back in. And in that callback, it was
when John was like, you know what, I talking about
your character this and that, but I actually have somebody
(03:38):
at the door and I need to go answer this.
And I said, of course, Oh my god, answer the door.
And he opens the door all over zoom by the way,
and it's Cynthia and Ari with the sign that says
welcome to OZ. Will you be our nessa rose? Oh
my god, that is cool, pretty cool, pretty tight.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I don't I didn't want to have to mention your
week chair, but I feel like it's such an important
thing because you are the first actress to be in
a wheelchair playing someone in a wheelchair. So hopefully there'll
be so many more and no one will ever have
to mention your wheelchair again. But do you see that
as being trailblazing and that it will open the door
for more people who are in your situation?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, I can only hope so. And acknowledgment is great
in terms of accessibility and mobility aids in terms of
if you're acknowledging it, you know you know how to
accommodate it in the future, but also like not making
it a big deal because at the end of the day,
I'm still just I'm literally just sitting down. It's not more.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Deep happens to sit down.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, So I really do hope that this is a
trail blazer, and so that's an example of casts disabled
people because we are out here and we can do it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Once again. Anything. They're being wound up and I feel
like I want more time with you. So maybe after
the second.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
For part two of our interview.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
For part two, yes right, we'll come back to Australia.
Thank you so much, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's Robin and On Brisbane's Kiss
