Speaker 1 (00:11):
So you're listening to a Muma Mia podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
that this podcast is recorded on.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hello, and welcome to the Spill your daily pop culture fix.
I'm m Vernon and I'm Laura Brudnick, and today we
have a pretty freaky episode.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I did wonder how you were going to slip that
in you well done, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Today we are talking about Freakier Friday, the second edition
of the cult movie Freaky Friday, having the same car
some new editions. I went to the Sydney premier, but
LB you did something even more special.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yes, I interview the car so Jamie Lee Curtis returning
Lindvay Loewen. Yes, I was very starstruck. We'll get to
what happened in the room. It's not a pretty story
at all times. We'll get into that because we're going
to play that interview later, but first tell me the
Sydney premiere. It's one of those big things where like
they advertised that the cast is going to be their
riots like fans and come and line up. All the
fancy people like yourself were invited. I watched the movie
(01:18):
the day before in a tiny little screening session with
just everyone who's doing the interview.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We saw it separately.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We did, we weren't together and a rare occasion when
we're not together at the premiere.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Which I was kind of a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I mean, I'm glad you got to experience the premiere,
but I was a little bit sad that I didn't
get to hear your very unique laugh, like booming out,
oh my god, cinema, because I feel like that would
have happened.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I'm more upset you didn't hear my commentary throughout the
entire Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Because famously I love people who talk through movies. No,
you're the only one who can get away with it. Okay,
So you got to the premiere.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Got to the premiere. I went with entertainment editor Tina
burg Yes, special guest of the pod, Special guest of
the podcast. She very kindly took a photo of me
in front of the big backdrop.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's a freak.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Friday, we had some cocktails, so doing a really interesting
thing where they had like people behind this curtain who
are just handing out people cocktails.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You should take drinks from strange you should.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
What was interesting about this one was it was Bondai Junction,
which I haven't Firstly, I don't think I've.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Been to Bondai. Very hard to say.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, it was very interesting. They had a stage in
the cinema, so it see even cinema in there. They
had a big stage, so everyone who was invited was
led to stand in front of the stage, kind of
like we were waiting for like a concert to start. Yeah,
And then they had a bit of a fashion show,
so they had these influencers dress up as characters in
the movie, like well from this new movie from I
guess like both, like the classic outfits in Freaky Friday
(02:40):
come and we had a bit of a voting session
of who wore the best outfits. It was like entertaining,
and there were so many fans, so they had like
this barricade around the whole stage where fans were on
the outsides. Kind of so much to when we went
to like Bridget Jones or Challengers, and we could see
like the die hard fans waiting for the cast to
come to.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
And there were them pictures of them lining up at
least fifteen hours ten to fifteen hours before Jamie Lee
Curtis and Lindsay Owen were scheduled to walk for carpet,
so that's how long they've been there, at least sore inside.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
This time at Lisare Inside, Jamie Lee Curs and Lindsay
Lowen were there and they did a few questions on stage.
Also Tyra Banks was there with their Icebokay.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That was well, did you get a little star struck?
Because also do you see that Jamie Lee Curtis, were
you on this side? Because I was just watching the
videos that Jamie Curtis and Lindsay Lowan came in holding hands,
which is they both looked gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
They came down escalated to make their entrance.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And all the influencers had to come down stairs.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I would have fallen.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It was good, like Tina Burke is so on it
because I was waiting for them at the stairs to
get my shot and then Tina was like, but they're
spotlights on the escalators. I think they're coming around. So
I think only few people kind of clocked that they
were going to come down the escalators. So that's why
we got the prime footage of them coming down.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And just if you're looking at these premieres online, guys,
it looks all fancy and laid back, like you're just
hanging out looking slubs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It is the Hunger Games. It is cutthroat. It's every
woman for herself.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
People push each other over, people line up, and this
is celebrities and influencers and journals alike.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like we're all in this little wash pit together.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, and you're getting pushed and you're getting trampled, and
it's like a concert essentially.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What was really sweet was that they had a bit
of a life size reunion on day.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
When I saw Tyra Banks was there, I nearly died.
Did you described that moment?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Like watching her walk down those steps? You also walked
down the stairs watching her walk down the steps.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I didn't get to go down to escalator. Jesus, they
create top model in this respect.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
She came into the Mum and Me offices and we
filmed on socials with her and I missed seeing her
in person, so I got to see her in person
for the first time at the event and she is stunning.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, it was really lovely seeing her because she lives
in Australia. Now she's running Hig ice Cream. She lives
in Sydney and goes to school here.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
There were like some ice cream samples at the theater.
I didn't get one. The que was matterive for it.
As you can understand, you don't. Everyone wanted some Tyra Banks.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I assume a life Sized Girl Growing Up? Is that
one of your movies?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It wasn't. It's a movie that's like I watched probably
like three or four times as it just wasn't at all,
because as you did when you only had like one
DVD and you had to just keep what But at
the actual theater, when Tina was like, I can't we
were having a life sized reunion. I was like, what
are you talking about? And she showed me. And it's
only when I clocked the poster for the movie. I
was like, oh my god, I forgot about this movie.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Oh okay, Well, that moment was really lost in you
because when Tyro came out and her and lindsay those
videos of them hugging in front of the.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Crowd and they even mentioned it, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
People were crying because that's like a cult classic movie. Okay,
lost on you, but great, everyone on me.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But the fans were obsessed, like they were screaming back there.
And then we were led into our cinemas and most
of the time, which is what they did. This time.
Lindsay and Jamie came in and they did like a
little bit. It wasn't like a big Q and A.
It was more just them thanking everyone coming. They got
really emotional because I think this is one of the
last times they're doing this, like press.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
This is the last premiere.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's the last premiere, and I think we were the
last cinema they came into. So they literally said, oh
my god, this is the last time we're doing this.
And then they started crying, and then I started crying.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You started crying.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I got really tearing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
He got you famously never I got cherry.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I also got cheery in the film, which we'll
talk about later.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Really yeah, oh my god. They broke Emily Vernon.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I know. It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
O my god.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And then they left and I will trying because they
came through like the exit, like the fire escape at
the front, and then they went there.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They didn't come down that because cinema stairs they did it.
I wonder what their version of stairs is. I get
it coming downstairs as hard.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, we've all been there, some more than others. But
that was the Sydney premiere and I watched the movie
and it was so brilliant. It did start very very late,
like our movie started around eight pm and we were
there from six PML.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You're not going to rush Lindsay Lawn and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know they looked gorgeous as well.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
My party will be good bonding for everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You two are called to be family.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Yeah right, don't remind me you've.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Walked in each other's path.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
You learned a lesson, a lesson that again. Okay, that's another.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Change. The hearts, you know are wrong, Yes, to reach
the place where you belong.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What is happening? Okay, well it's me, it's mom.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
If you're me and I'm you, then who's that I'm
grandma sweehaw.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Last time we convinced everyone that we worry each other
until we switched back. I didn't want to be a
part of this family, and now I'm part of some
dodgy family curse and I'm the eldest.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
As teenagers we have no power, but as adults.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Or we can break our parents up for good again.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Chop chop, chop up. All you have to.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Do is reunite her with her first love.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Hey, we're getting into a little spoiler free review of
the movie. And Emily and I have seen the movie separately.
We haven't talked about it, so sharing our thoughts. But
for anyone who's not super cross and who's like, what
is Freaky Friday? Like, I'm here for the journey, but
I don't know what you girls are talking about. So
it's based on a book. There's been a few adaptations
over the years, but the Jamie Lee Curtis Lindsay Lowe
in adaptation of Freaky Friday is the most famous and
(08:22):
the most critically acclaimed. It came out in two thousand
and three. Lindsay Lohan was about fifteen when she shot
that movie. Jamie Lee Curtis was mid thirties. Jamie Lee
Curtis came in at the last minute. There was actually
another actress supposed to do it. She had to pull out.
Jamie Lee Curtis came in like three days before they
were going to start filming, and they filmed this movie
where Jamie Lee Curtis plays Tess, who's psychiatrists and a widow,
(08:43):
and Anna is her daughter played by Lindsay and who's
like a real rock chick, which is very important to
the story, and they're at odds because Tess is getting
remarried and then through like a little twister fate, which
is slightly problematic now, but we'll just push through it.
And then Tess and Anna end up swapping bodies and
hilarity ensues.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I think it's safe.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Is such a good movie, and it's one of those
movies I remember, and I feel like I always say this,
but it was one of those movies where I watched
for the first time with my mom.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I love that it's such a mother daughter It is
such a mother daughter movie. And the best thing about
this new Freaky a Friday movie is that they very
much made sure to keep that where it's like it's
for the moms. It's all the moms and daughters. And
I remember watching the first one and we were both
laughing so so much. It was so funny, and then
(09:32):
we both were like, oh, don't look when when she
kissed chat Michael make.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And I just felt like I felt that same like
magic and energy in this movie as well.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Did you feel that I did too?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And Okay, I know I've said this before, but you've
got to be careful to whose criticism.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You listen to. When it comes to movies.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It's the same thing with like your friends and your
like different movies. Movie critics like different things. Because there
are some bad reviews to this movie, but when I
look at who the reviewers are, it's often like some
older men or sometimes an older woman, which is not
a bad thing. But then I look at the people
like around our age who grew up this movie, and
the reviews are so glowingly posit, and everyone I've talked
to has loved it so much, and I think sometimes
(10:14):
a movie just isn't for you. Like this movie, it's
likes you said, it's for the mums, it's for the daughters,
it's for the gals. It's for like boys and girls
and days who grew up with the movie, you know
what I mean, Like it's for us.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's not meant to.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Be and it's a similar storyline, but it didn't feel
like a reboot. Yeah, like it felt like an original
screenplay for.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Me yet, because it really stands obviously, like it's better
to watch if you've seen the first movie, but it
does feel like it stands on its own. It's not
just like you want to dip back into the world.
Look at these characters, like, this movie has its own stakes.
So now in the new movie Freak Here Friday, we
have Lindsay Lowen reprising her roles Anna Coleman. She's now
a single mother to her daughter Harper, played by Julia
Butters child star Julia Butters Crazy. She's the one that
(10:53):
Leonardo DiCaprio like personally selected to be in Once upon
a Time in Hollywood, Oh my god. And then she
went to the Oscars that year and she was carrying
a little bag with a sandwich in it because she
was gonna get hungry.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
She so cute. Now she's in Freak Here Friday. Yeah
made it.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Children grow up way too far.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean that was many years ago, but fast go
back anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Lean A DiCaprio his talent, scouted her, which.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Is and Alan scouted her right into Freaking Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
To Freak Here Friday, the role she was born to play.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And so Anna is preparing to get married to manage
A Senko's character, Managea Cenko so.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hot, so hot, Oh my god. And they knew what
they were doing. There are some scenes with Manny who
I'm like, there is no purpose for this scene except
to just show him off.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But also where's the hum That's that's good cinema. It's great.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that you will be
watching scenes I have no contribution to the storyline at all,
but are just perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Also, I feel like Managa Senko has finally got his
moment because he was such a breakout star playing Jason
in The Good Place, and so we knew he was
a great comedic actor. And then when he left The
Good Place, everyone's like, he's going to be the next
big Hollywood heartthrow. And the first big role he landed
was in Top Gun Maverick, so like, again, he's going
to be huge. When Top Gun Maverick came out, where
(12:14):
is manager Saint go nowhere to be seen in the background.
They cut all his scenes and he's done other projects
since we.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Have talked about this, and we've also talked about how
there is like a pattern when it comes to Asian
actors in Hollywood or black or ethnic actors in Hollywood,
where we talked about it with Simone Ashley. So many
times that she's been put into a movie or film
and then she's cast in the back or she's been
cut out completely, and then you can tell the storyline
that she was meant to be in on the storyline
(12:40):
they were meant to be in, versus the storyline they chose,
and you're kind of like, I think that was the
wrong choice. And I'm just so so glad he was
in this film because he actually doesn't play like the
goofy character that he does so well he played it's
really really funny and he's such a brilliant actor, but
he plays a character that actually has some really interesting
(13:00):
personal development as a single dad.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean, yeah, it's a deep performance. Not us like
wanting to give.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
That part where I cried, I don't want to, but
there's a really deep performance between him Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah,
and I like really teared up. I think if you
have like a certain relationship with your mom, and I'm
trying so hard not to spoiler, but if you have
a certain relationship with your mom where it's like you'll
(13:29):
do anything for each other, but there's so much that
you also wish you could say that you never want
to say, Like, I think this movie perfectly encapsulates that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, Oh that's so nice. Emily you didn't take your
mom to see this.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I think she'll really like.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It because we are.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, he does play like the very suave single dad,
Like I was very much in love with him watching
the movie. And so we have the whole body swap
thing again, but this time the two older women sat
with the two younger women.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's all we'll say about that. And what's also nice.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Is say it is so funny.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It is so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Because at first I was like, I wish they did
the og swap again. Oh really, yeah, I wish like
Tess and Anna swapped again. But I'm so glad they
went with this decision because it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Well, you know what's interesting like this is that in
the first movie, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lowan don't
have that many scenes together because their characters body swap and.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Then they go on their different adventures.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Where is this one there together the whole movie and
also the physical comedy from those two Also, Sumsie Lauren
is so good in this, Like obviously she took a
long time off Hollywood because a lot of things she
went through, like the paparazzi craze, and like all the
different things that happened to her in her life, and
she had to walk away from.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Hollywood for a bit.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
She moved to Dubai for many reasons, but one of
them being the fact that the paparazzi economy is illegal there,
so she can be out and about without being chased
down the street.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
She got married as a beautiful little boy.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
She's came back in and did some Christmas movies which
people are excited to see her. But this is her
first big return to like a big screen Hollywood movie,
and she's so good.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Sheers that.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
There's one scene where she's just doing this amazing comedy
bit when she's up on the.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Table exactly, I know exactly where you talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It is such a good scene. And that is when
I saw that scene, I immediately my mind immediately she
went back to parent trap. Yeah, it immediately went back
Confessions to a teenage drama queen, like all these beautiful
movies where she absolutely nailed as being the main character.
I was like, you haven't lost it, you, in fact,
I've gained.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Like she she's back. She's back, is back, and she.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Is so so funny. She knows exactly what the people want,
and she knows exactly what her fans want.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And it's interesting how because people have been asking for
this movie for such a long time, but Jamielee Curtis
has always said that they had to wait for Lindsay
Lowan to be old enough to play a mum, which
is super confronting because we're the same age. And I
was like, there's no way she can play mum because
I'm a child still.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, and also imagine like just knowing that everyone's waiting
for you to get.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, like time's a tick and Lindsay and so it was.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Actually when Jamie Lee Curtis was in Australia promoting the
Last Halloween movie is when she people were asking her
about it and she was like, Oh, I think it's time.
I think we can make this movie now. So while
she was in Australia, she emailed Bob Igo, who's like
the head of Disney, and said, this is the pitch,
is what we should do. They got on a call
and Bob was like, out, let's do it. She called
the producers, She called Lindsay. They've stayed in touch for it,
(16:14):
like they've said touch in the first movie. And that's
what got the whole ball rolling to now having Freak
here Friday.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh my god, I love that And I feel like,
especially when it comes to these types of reboots, you
can so tell the difference between the production that wanted
to happen and just had to pay the actors to
come back versus the actors who really wanted it to
happen as well, and this one they both really wanted
it to happen.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, all little cameos.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Also, just before we get into into just a quick
shout out to Chad Michael Murray. What a performance, young man,
leaning the fucking so goofy, Like he looks so hot
still he knows he's the joke and he did it
so well.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
He's so funny.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That was That was the best scene. I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And this character like it's just there.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, they just had to get him in there for
some reason.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Again, he's kind of a joke, but that's okay. So
the day after the big premiere, I went to interview
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lawn. Yes, and I don't
always get starstruck, but I was quite like my heart
was beating really fast.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Had you interview them before I'd.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Met Linday Lowan once before, just very quickly in passing
like a walk by.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
When she was here.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I forgot, like so many people forgot about that era.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I know, No, I don't forget. I think about it
all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
And I remember having like a children through my body
And that was so weird because I was like, oh,
I see celebrities all the time, and I'm like respectful
of them, but I don't. But I think it's because
I have anyone who I was like obsessed with when
I was younger. Yeah, it feels really surreal to meeting
someone who's become famous since I got into this job.
So I grew up watching Jamie Lee Curtis movies. I
love the Halloween franchise, but I also like My Girls
(17:48):
she's been in and like, obviously Lindsay Lowen is, you know,
even though we're not the same age, our joy childhood
like her movies that wild Yeah, because I.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Got Lindy Lowen like when she was a bit older,
like a teenager. Yeah, as in like like Confessions of
a Teenage Drama Queen were my Lindy Lowen movie. Yeah,
Like that was for me.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's a great movie.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But yeah, Parents, Trap and just every and even rom
Coms as she got older, like just so so good.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So yeah, I went to interview them, and I don't
want my preps. Like you go in.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
It's a whole big thing when you go to a
press chunkt like this because you know there's so many levels
of security and stuff. You go and check in downstairs,
then you get escorted up scars when it's your time,
and you get set in these like waiting chairs and
like this whole like city has sprung up with all
these different You've got like their makeup rooms and then
the press room, and then it's all set up in
this like big film set and all this crazy stuff.
So you're sitting in the chair and that she's usually
(18:36):
your moment to kind of well, I take the moment
to kind of like calm down because don't know if
you've noticed I talk really.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Fast, yes, and I get very breathless. It's I'm usually
my moment.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I do some deep breath and all of a sudden,
the door in front of me opens and Jamie Lee
Curtis just walks out of this random room and clocks
me and then starts pointing at me because we're wearing
the same colored jacket. She's throwing a red jacket. I
was throwing a red jacket. And then she's like, oh,
look at us. We're matching. And I was like, yeah,
(19:04):
you look great, and she's like, you look great. And
then we did a little arm bomb because she put
her arm out, so we did a little arm bomb
with my.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's so cute.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And then she's like, okay, bye. And then I was
the next one, and so I walked into the room.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Okay bye.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
She's like probably like.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Oh I thought that random girl was like someone's assistant.
Now she's like coming in.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
To interview me.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
And so I walked into the room and you've always
got to walk home into this platform and it's Jamie
Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lwan just looking gorgeous, both of them.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And then I sat down to interview them, and it
was hell, we're going to play the interview now because
this was a real moment.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh my god, come wait to listen.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well, it's so lovely to meet you both. And I
have to start by saying I absolutely loved the movie
and I know how hard it would be to recreate
that magic a second time. So I wanted to ask
what moment was it when you're on the set filming
that you really thought this is going to work, this
is what we pictured it to be.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
Oh, the mirror, mirror, the mirror scene, the four of you.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah, anytime you have a Disney body swam. I mean,
there's that's the moment of truth. You can spend as
much time leading up to it afterwards, but that moment
of truth is really the litmus test and for everybody,
for the crew, for the director, for the actors, And
it felt really easy and we started laughing a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Too, right. Also, yeah, it shows something different, something else
comes through when everyone is genuinely having a good time.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
And they were throwing lines at us, as you saw
in the trailer, I mean in the end credits, and
it just became it really became a little mayhem.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
And it was really only day three.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Oh wow, it's good to know that early on, at
that magic.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
So I think it felt like we knew that there
was something going on.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And what I also wanted to ask you is that
I think myself and so many fans a loving seeing
this chemistry between you back on screen, this relationship, and
I know that you've been such close friends for over
twenty years, so making this movie and now going on
this press tour together, what's the best new memory you've
created from this new time of working together.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
It's all been such a labor of love and just
kind of committing to each other and then committing to
the film and everyone involved in the film and everyone
that's been on this worldwide tour with us, that we're
just gonna we're gonna give it all and do it
together and and enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
There was a moment on the because in la at
the premiere, we didn't really get to see each other.
It was a little more phrenetic, and you know, we
went to Mexico and that was a great reaction. But
when we were in London at the premiere, there was
a moment where it was just the two of us
standing there and they were just but they it was
(21:39):
almost when they shot off those confetti things. There was
just a moment we looked at each other and in
that moment there was a moment.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Of like magic.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
It felt like wow, we're here, we are this is
all real and happening, and it was very special.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
And then the things went off and it.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Got scary, but there was a wordless moment between the
two of us, just to look in the eye, just
between us that I've now shared with the world.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Sorry that means because we're very invested in this in
this movie, and it must be interesting to sort of
see fans who some of them weren't even alive when
the movie was made. We're like, we're waiting in the
line last night to see both on the red carpet
who are watching the movie. You have the outfits like
that's a huge film like iacy to have. I also
wanted to ask a beautiful story thread in the movie
is seeing how your characters are now in this different
(22:30):
stage of motherhood. They're having a bit of a hectic time,
but I also feel that the thread is that they're
very proud of the mothers they've become, while also chasing
these big career dreams of Anna writing her new music
and tests with her podcast and her books. So off
the back of that, I wanted to ask you both,
what is your proudest moment as mothers and what big
career dream do you want to chase next? Well, no, sorry,
(22:51):
big question, but her.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
This moment as a mother, I think I think just
giving birth to my son and holding him for the
first time was the feeling of that moment and the joy,
and everyone says like it's a different kind of love
that you feel in that second, and I think that
is probably a proudest moment of mine as a mother
to date. Just looking at him and looking at me,
and I also seeing my husband hold my son was
(23:15):
just like I have the picture and whenever I look
at it, it's just it brings me right back to
that second.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's really gad.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
I'd say that.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Career dreams, I don't know. I try to go one
day at a time, so seeing what comes my way
and whatever is meant to be and work out next
will be.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Both my children wanted to be married in my backyard,
one of them married by me. That showed me in
our family that were a weird blended family through adoption,
but that we are a family because they that's home
for them, that was everything to.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Me, the safest, happiest place, and that.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's where they wanted to be while they married their spouses.
So that was beautiful. And you know, I'm just a
boss bitch.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
I am just I'm now you know what I am
just in a.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I'm taking advantage of now some opportunities that I have,
and I am going full throttle because you know, TikTok
and not the thing that the social media plat or
the Chinese hacking scandal thing that's stealing our soul except
for that. Mother time is ticking and I, you know,
(24:37):
need to take advantage of it. So I had an
idea yesterday and I'm going to speak to Vocal about
it before we leave Australia so that by the time
we land, she's written it. I mean, I'm in that mindset.
I'm very creative right now.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh oh, I love that. What a beautiful space to be.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
I'm fertile in that way, very very oh.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I can see that from everything you say. And to
finish up, I know you've been asking, be asked questions
about this movie for over twenty years. You've just been
on a huge press cycled together answering so many questions.
But is there one question you're hoping people would ask
you that no one deed that you'd like to get
out here on this last day?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Wow, I don't know or as.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
To each other, this is the floor.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Wow, we'll both start to cry. I think, do you
love it. Do you love what you do? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
I do?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
You know that's it's it all comes from love.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Creativity comes from love the work.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yeah, there's nothing like the feeling when you get onto
set on that first day, that kind of adrenaline rush
and almost like a safety that you that I feel
and I feel like you feel the same.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
It's just like I feel right at home.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
There's nothing I still I'm sixty seven years old. The
day I pull up to any work I'm doing, I
can't believe I get to do it.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
I can't believe I get to do this job.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
And it has nothing to do with seeing our pictures,
op and all that I'm talking about, the practical even.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Just coming into here today. I love this job.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
So love sort of is is not brought up enough. Yes,
love of the creative process and the people we get
to do it with.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
And this was filled with love.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Oh, I can really see that.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We'll thank you both so much.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Thank you for asking such a like moving and thought
whole question.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Oh well, I mean both, your work has meant so
much to me my whole life. I just wanted to.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Why do you keep making celebrities cry?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Can I just say in that moment because that question
at the end I really wanted to ask.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It was also such a good question. But now I
feel like I feel like every other celebrity interview you
have you have to ask do you love it?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah? Do you love it? Do you love it? I
just yeah, I will.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
The reason is because Jamie Lee Curtis has been known
to She's not rude to interviews or anything, but she
has been through it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
She gets carry she she.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Has been no one to sort of push back on
questions and stuff, and often she'll be like, well, actually
I want to say this. So I thought I'm going
to give her the opportunity to say that. And when
she's like, oh, I'm going to cry, I had two thoughts.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The content part of me was like, crying to the camera.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Goddamn it, shed a tear right now, and she.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Didn't get a little teary, but she didn't have full tear,
so it wasn't a full with me.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Maybe we can super imposed.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
But the other half of me was like, oh my god,
I cannot be the interviewer who makes celebrities cry because
I have just come off the back of just recently
the Pedro Pascal or Aessa Kirby interview of them sobbing
in front of me pretty much, and that's still going
a bit viral at the moment. So I was like,
I cannot be the girl who makes people cry.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I reckon lean in because if you haven't watched the
actual interview, we've posted it on our YouTube channel, a
link in our show notes, because if you need to
physically see the reaction they're having for these questions. All
the comments are so nice, are all calling you really cute, Like.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
She's such a cute interview, Like cute a word that's
never assigned to such a tall woman.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Okay tall.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
This could have been a perfect interview. It could have
been a big day. I had a cute moment with
Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I walked in.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I had a lovely back and forth with Lindsay and
Jamielee Curtis. It was so nice. I stood up to
leave there both. I got to say, like, not in
a creepy way, like how much their movies have meant
to me, which is so true, Like you know me,
I'm not gushy if I don't have to be, but
it was a true statement. And then I got up
to walk away. It could have been so perfect. And
as I'm walking down the steps of that platform.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I trip. I don't fully fall, but I lunge forward
and I do that thing where your arms.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Are waving you're trying to catch yourself but there's nothing
to hold on to.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yes, and there was nothing. And they both went off and.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
They're probably like, why would you do this in front
of us?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
They're just like in this moment, this moment, like the rowing,
like you're okay, and I was like I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I was like, no, we walked away too many times. Okay,
I produced them one can we tell watching? What did
you say?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
One?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You were like, you're about to become the Jennifer Lawrence
on interviewers.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Okay, Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
In my defense, the reason I brought the tall girl
thing is because I can never find pants that are
long enough to touch the floor. All the pants, because
I'm so tall. All the pants I wear show my
ankles and people is like, oh, cute pedal pushes, and
they're not.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You rarely wear pants either, No.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Because I can't find me long enough and it's embarrassing,
especially when you sit down, because they rise like.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Me and I do.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Every celebrity interview everyone pants, which is actually I like
wearing pants because you're like, again, you're getting down a platform,
you seeing on a chair, pants.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Like you're doing.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah, it's a physical labor and I hate every interview.
If you look at the wide shot, my ankles are
showing at a good portion of my calf and that's
not chic.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So done in that way. And so I finally found
these pants that drape across the floor. They pull behind
me as I walk. I've never experienced such a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
They also get caught on your shoe when you're going
down some stairs.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And I this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
As I they're like Plazo pants.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yes, okay, yeah this is weird.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Are we talking about pants in the situation? We need
to know what not to when those pants now, don't worry.
So I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna get
to go do a celebrity interview without my ankles out
like a lady.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Give me and I'm a great experience for everyone.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I felt great, I felt cool, I felt chic. I
felt like an adult until I went down the stairs.
And because I've never had pants that touched the floor.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Before, your legs were getting still getting used to them.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I lunged down the stairs, So that was embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And I even look like they moved you so much
to fall down the stairs or you really wanted to
get out there.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
They're like, this girl's running out of here.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And so I was hesitant to tell that story because
I'm a competent adult, I'm a professional. I don't want
every story about a celebrity interview I tell to be
a weird thing about me, like Cynthia River is a
wicked having to lean over and fix my lipstick, hitting
my head on the mic, when Vanessa Kirby stood up
to hug me, and Pedro Pascal is trying to pat
my shoulder and I'm like, I have a concussion. I
can't interact with you guys. And then falling down the
(31:02):
stairs and yeah, I told her produced someone and she
was like, you are becoming the Jennifer Lawrence because remember
how Jennifer Lawrence fell. The first time, Everyone's like that's
so cute and adorable. Fell a second time, everyone's like cute,
love her, what a character? Fell a third time and like, oh,
come on.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Girls, stand up. They're like, now you're putting it on.
Now you do. And then she had to leave Hollywood
for like five years.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, we can't afford for you to leave for five years.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
We cannot do that. So that was that story. But yeah,
it was. It was such a lovely moment.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Unfortunately, Speers, we didn't catch the fall on camera, so
you just have to take off it. It was dramatic.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
But ask anyone who works for Disney, because as I
walked out, as I walked over to get my yeah,
she'll remember. She'll be like, oh that tall girl who fell.
You can't see anyone who works with Disney. Because on
my way out, everyone's like that was great, And I'm like, oh,
I fell. And I walked to the door and like
that was great. I'm like I fell. And then downstairs
I went to say goodbye to like people downstairs and like,
how was it?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I said, well, I fell, So you have to It's
like when you have a pimple.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
You have to tell everyone before they Yeah, I had
to tell everyone before. They had to control the story before. Anyway,
So you guys should go see Free Here Friday. It's

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mamma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of land and borders
that this podcast is recorded on.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hello, and welcome to the Spill your daily pop culture fix.
I'm m Vernon and I'm Laura Brudnick, and today we
have a pretty freaky episode.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I did wonder how you were going to slip that
in you well done, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Today we are talking about Freakier Friday, the second edition
of the cult movie Freaky Friday, having the same car
some new editions. I went to the Sydney premier, but
LB you did something even more special.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yes, I interview the car so Jamie Lee Curtis returning
Lindvay Loewen. Yes, I was very starstruck. We'll get to
what happened in the room. It's not a pretty story
at all times. We'll get into that because we're going
to play that interview later, but first tell me the
Sydney premiere. It's one of those big things where like
they advertised that the cast is going to be their
riots like fans and come and line up. All the
fancy people like yourself were invited. I watched the movie
(01:18):
the day before in a tiny little screening session with
just everyone who's doing the interview.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
We saw it separately.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
We did, we weren't together and a rare occasion when
we're not together at the premiere.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Which I was kind of a little bit.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I mean, I'm glad you got to experience the premiere,
but I was a little bit sad that I didn't
get to hear your very unique laugh, like booming out,
oh my god, cinema, because I feel like that would
have happened.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I'm more upset you didn't hear my commentary throughout the
entire Oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Because famously I love people who talk through movies. No,
you're the only one who can get away with it. Okay,
So you got to the premiere.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Got to the premiere. I went with entertainment editor Tina
burg Yes, special guest of the pod, Special guest of
the podcast. She very kindly took a photo of me
in front of the big backdrop.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That's a freak.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Friday, we had some cocktails, so doing a really interesting
thing where they had like people behind this curtain who
are just handing out people cocktails.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
You should take drinks from strange you should.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
What was interesting about this one was it was Bondai Junction,
which I haven't Firstly, I don't think I've.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Been to Bondai. Very hard to say.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, it was very interesting. They had a stage in
the cinema, so it see even cinema in there. They
had a big stage, so everyone who was invited was
led to stand in front of the stage, kind of
like we were waiting for like a concert to start. Yeah,
And then they had a bit of a fashion show,
so they had these influencers dress up as characters in
the movie, like well from this new movie from I
guess like both, like the classic outfits in Freaky Friday
(02:40):
come and we had a bit of a voting session
of who wore the best outfits. It was like entertaining,
and there were so many fans, so they had like
this barricade around the whole stage where fans were on
the outsides. Kind of so much to when we went
to like Bridget Jones or Challengers, and we could see
like the die hard fans waiting for the cast to
come to.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
And there were them pictures of them lining up at
least fifteen hours ten to fifteen hours before Jamie Lee
Curtis and Lindsay Owen were scheduled to walk for carpet,
so that's how long they've been there, at least sore inside.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
This time at Lisare Inside, Jamie Lee Curs and Lindsay
Lowen were there and they did a few questions on stage.
Also Tyra Banks was there with their Icebokay.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
That was well, did you get a little star struck?
Because also do you see that Jamie Lee Curtis, were
you on this side? Because I was just watching the
videos that Jamie Curtis and Lindsay Lowan came in holding hands,
which is they both looked gorgeous.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
They came down escalated to make their entrance.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
And all the influencers had to come down stairs.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I would have fallen.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It was good, like Tina Burke is so on it
because I was waiting for them at the stairs to
get my shot and then Tina was like, but they're
spotlights on the escalators. I think they're coming around. So
I think only few people kind of clocked that they
were going to come down the escalators. So that's why
we got the prime footage of them coming down.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
And just if you're looking at these premieres online, guys,
it looks all fancy and laid back, like you're just
hanging out looking slubs.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It is the Hunger Games. It is cutthroat. It's every
woman for herself.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
People push each other over, people line up, and this
is celebrities and influencers and journals alike.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like we're all in this little wash pit together.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, and you're getting pushed and you're getting trampled, and
it's like a concert essentially.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
What was really sweet was that they had a bit
of a life size reunion on day.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
When I saw Tyra Banks was there, I nearly died.
Did you described that moment?
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Like watching her walk down those steps? You also walked
down the stairs watching her walk down the steps.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I didn't get to go down to escalator. Jesus, they
create top model in this respect.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
She came into the Mum and Me offices and we
filmed on socials with her and I missed seeing her
in person, so I got to see her in person
for the first time at the event and she is stunning.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Yeah, it was really lovely seeing her because she lives
in Australia. Now she's running Hig ice Cream. She lives
in Sydney and goes to school here.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
There were like some ice cream samples at the theater.
I didn't get one. The que was matterive for it.
As you can understand, you don't. Everyone wanted some Tyra Banks.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I assume a life Sized Girl Growing Up? Is that
one of your movies?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It wasn't. It's a movie that's like I watched probably
like three or four times as it just wasn't at all,
because as you did when you only had like one
DVD and you had to just keep what But at
the actual theater, when Tina was like, I can't we
were having a life sized reunion. I was like, what
are you talking about? And she showed me. And it's
only when I clocked the poster for the movie. I
was like, oh my god, I forgot about this movie.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Oh okay, Well, that moment was really lost in you
because when Tyro came out and her and lindsay those
videos of them hugging in front of the.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Crowd and they even mentioned it, yeah, and.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
People were crying because that's like a cult classic movie. Okay,
lost on you, but great, everyone on me.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
But the fans were obsessed, like they were screaming back there.
And then we were led into our cinemas and most
of the time, which is what they did. This time.
Lindsay and Jamie came in and they did like a
little bit. It wasn't like a big Q and A.
It was more just them thanking everyone coming. They got
really emotional because I think this is one of the
last times they're doing this, like press.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
This is the last premiere.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's the last premiere, and I think we were the
last cinema they came into. So they literally said, oh
my god, this is the last time we're doing this.
And then they started crying, and then I started crying.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
You started crying.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
I got really tearing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
He got you famously never I got cherry.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I also got cheery in the film, which we'll
talk about later.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Really yeah, oh my god. They broke Emily Vernon.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I know. It was crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
O my god.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
And then they left and I will trying because they
came through like the exit, like the fire escape at
the front, and then they went there.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They didn't come down that because cinema stairs they did it.
I wonder what their version of stairs is. I get
it coming downstairs as hard.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, we've all been there, some more than others. But
that was the Sydney premiere and I watched the movie
and it was so brilliant. It did start very very late,
like our movie started around eight pm and we were
there from six PML.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You're not going to rush Lindsay Lawn and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
You know they looked gorgeous as well.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
My party will be good bonding for everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
You two are called to be family.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Yeah right, don't remind me you've.
Speaker 7 (07:02):
Walked in each other's path.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
You learned a lesson, a lesson that again. Okay, that's another.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Change. The hearts, you know are wrong, Yes, to reach
the place where you belong.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
What is happening? Okay, well it's me, it's mom.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
If you're me and I'm you, then who's that I'm
grandma sweehaw.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Last time we convinced everyone that we worry each other
until we switched back. I didn't want to be a
part of this family, and now I'm part of some
dodgy family curse and I'm the eldest.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
As teenagers we have no power, but as adults.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Or we can break our parents up for good again.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Chop chop, chop up. All you have to.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Do is reunite her with her first love.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Hey, we're getting into a little spoiler free review of
the movie. And Emily and I have seen the movie separately.
We haven't talked about it, so sharing our thoughts. But
for anyone who's not super cross and who's like, what
is Freaky Friday? Like, I'm here for the journey, but
I don't know what you girls are talking about. So
it's based on a book. There's been a few adaptations
over the years, but the Jamie Lee Curtis Lindsay Lowe
in adaptation of Freaky Friday is the most famous and
(08:22):
the most critically acclaimed. It came out in two thousand
and three. Lindsay Lohan was about fifteen when she shot
that movie. Jamie Lee Curtis was mid thirties. Jamie Lee
Curtis came in at the last minute. There was actually
another actress supposed to do it. She had to pull out.
Jamie Lee Curtis came in like three days before they
were going to start filming, and they filmed this movie
where Jamie Lee Curtis plays Tess, who's psychiatrists and a widow,
(08:43):
and Anna is her daughter played by Lindsay and who's
like a real rock chick, which is very important to
the story, and they're at odds because Tess is getting
remarried and then through like a little twister fate, which
is slightly problematic now, but we'll just push through it.
And then Tess and Anna end up swapping bodies and
hilarity ensues.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I think it's safe.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yah.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Is such a good movie, and it's one of those
movies I remember, and I feel like I always say this,
but it was one of those movies where I watched
for the first time with my mom.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I love that it's such a mother daughter It is
such a mother daughter movie. And the best thing about
this new Freaky a Friday movie is that they very
much made sure to keep that where it's like it's
for the moms. It's all the moms and daughters. And
I remember watching the first one and we were both
laughing so so much. It was so funny, and then
(09:32):
we both were like, oh, don't look when when she
kissed chat Michael make.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And I just felt like I felt that same like
magic and energy in this movie as well.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Did you feel that I did too?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And Okay, I know I've said this before, but you've
got to be careful to whose criticism.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You listen to. When it comes to movies.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It's the same thing with like your friends and your
like different movies. Movie critics like different things. Because there
are some bad reviews to this movie, but when I
look at who the reviewers are, it's often like some
older men or sometimes an older woman, which is not
a bad thing. But then I look at the people
like around our age who grew up this movie, and
the reviews are so glowingly posit, and everyone I've talked
to has loved it so much, and I think sometimes
(10:14):
a movie just isn't for you. Like this movie, it's
likes you said, it's for the mums, it's for the daughters,
it's for the gals. It's for like boys and girls
and days who grew up with the movie, you know
what I mean, Like it's for us.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's not meant to.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Be and it's a similar storyline, but it didn't feel
like a reboot. Yeah, like it felt like an original
screenplay for.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Me yet, because it really stands obviously, like it's better
to watch if you've seen the first movie, but it
does feel like it stands on its own. It's not
just like you want to dip back into the world.
Look at these characters, like, this movie has its own stakes.
So now in the new movie Freak Here Friday, we
have Lindsay Lowen reprising her roles Anna Coleman. She's now
a single mother to her daughter Harper, played by Julia
Butters child star Julia Butters Crazy. She's the one that
(10:53):
Leonardo DiCaprio like personally selected to be in Once upon
a Time in Hollywood, Oh my god. And then she
went to the Oscars that year and she was carrying
a little bag with a sandwich in it because she
was gonna get hungry.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
She so cute. Now she's in Freak Here Friday. Yeah
made it.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Children grow up way too far.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I mean that was many years ago, but fast go
back anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Lean A DiCaprio his talent, scouted her, which.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Is and Alan scouted her right into Freaking Friday.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
To Freak Here Friday, the role she was born to play.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
And so Anna is preparing to get married to manage
A Senko's character, Managea Cenko so.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hot, so hot, Oh my god. And they knew what
they were doing. There are some scenes with Manny who
I'm like, there is no purpose for this scene except
to just show him off.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But also where's the hum That's that's good cinema. It's great.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that you will be
watching scenes I have no contribution to the storyline at all,
but are just perfect.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Also, I feel like Managa Senko has finally got his
moment because he was such a breakout star playing Jason
in The Good Place, and so we knew he was
a great comedic actor. And then when he left The
Good Place, everyone's like, he's going to be the next
big Hollywood heartthrow. And the first big role he landed
was in Top Gun Maverick, so like, again, he's going
to be huge. When Top Gun Maverick came out, where
(12:14):
is manager Saint go nowhere to be seen in the background.
They cut all his scenes and he's done other projects
since we.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Have talked about this, and we've also talked about how
there is like a pattern when it comes to Asian
actors in Hollywood or black or ethnic actors in Hollywood,
where we talked about it with Simone Ashley. So many
times that she's been put into a movie or film
and then she's cast in the back or she's been
cut out completely, and then you can tell the storyline
that she was meant to be in on the storyline
(12:40):
they were meant to be in, versus the storyline they chose,
and you're kind of like, I think that was the
wrong choice. And I'm just so so glad he was
in this film because he actually doesn't play like the
goofy character that he does so well he played it's
really really funny and he's such a brilliant actor, but
he plays a character that actually has some really interesting
(13:00):
personal development as a single dad.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I mean, yeah, it's a deep performance. Not us like
wanting to give.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
That part where I cried, I don't want to, but
there's a really deep performance between him Jamie Lee Curtis. Yeah,
and I like really teared up. I think if you
have like a certain relationship with your mom, and I'm
trying so hard not to spoiler, but if you have
a certain relationship with your mom where it's like you'll
(13:29):
do anything for each other, but there's so much that
you also wish you could say that you never want
to say, Like, I think this movie perfectly encapsulates that.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, Oh that's so nice. Emily you didn't take your
mom to see this.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I think she'll really like.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
It because we are.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah, he does play like the very suave single dad,
Like I was very much in love with him watching
the movie. And so we have the whole body swap
thing again, but this time the two older women sat
with the two younger women.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's all we'll say about that. And what's also nice.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Is say it is so funny.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
It is so funny.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Because at first I was like, I wish they did
the og swap again. Oh really, yeah, I wish like
Tess and Anna swapped again. But I'm so glad they
went with this decision because it's so funny.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Well, you know what's interesting like this is that in
the first movie, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lowan don't
have that many scenes together because their characters body swap and.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Then they go on their different adventures.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Where is this one there together the whole movie and
also the physical comedy from those two Also, Sumsie Lauren
is so good in this, Like obviously she took a
long time off Hollywood because a lot of things she
went through, like the paparazzi craze, and like all the
different things that happened to her in her life, and
she had to walk away from.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Hollywood for a bit.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
She moved to Dubai for many reasons, but one of
them being the fact that the paparazzi economy is illegal there,
so she can be out and about without being chased
down the street.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
She got married as a beautiful little boy.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
She's came back in and did some Christmas movies which
people are excited to see her. But this is her
first big return to like a big screen Hollywood movie,
and she's so good.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Sheers that.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
There's one scene where she's just doing this amazing comedy
bit when she's up on the.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Table exactly, I know exactly where you talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It is such a good scene. And that is when
I saw that scene, I immediately my mind immediately she
went back to parent trap. Yeah, it immediately went back
Confessions to a teenage drama queen, like all these beautiful
movies where she absolutely nailed as being the main character.
I was like, you haven't lost it, you, in fact,
I've gained.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Like she she's back. She's back, is back, and she.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Is so so funny. She knows exactly what the people want,
and she knows exactly what her fans want.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And it's interesting how because people have been asking for
this movie for such a long time, but Jamielee Curtis
has always said that they had to wait for Lindsay
Lowan to be old enough to play a mum, which
is super confronting because we're the same age. And I
was like, there's no way she can play mum because
I'm a child still.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, and also imagine like just knowing that everyone's waiting
for you to get.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, like time's a tick and Lindsay and so it was.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Actually when Jamie Lee Curtis was in Australia promoting the
Last Halloween movie is when she people were asking her
about it and she was like, Oh, I think it's time.
I think we can make this movie now. So while
she was in Australia, she emailed Bob Igo, who's like
the head of Disney, and said, this is the pitch,
is what we should do. They got on a call
and Bob was like, out, let's do it. She called
the producers, She called Lindsay. They've stayed in touch for it,
(16:14):
like they've said touch in the first movie. And that's
what got the whole ball rolling to now having Freak
here Friday.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh my god, I love that And I feel like,
especially when it comes to these types of reboots, you
can so tell the difference between the production that wanted
to happen and just had to pay the actors to
come back versus the actors who really wanted it to
happen as well, and this one they both really wanted
it to happen.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, all little cameos.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Also, just before we get into into just a quick
shout out to Chad Michael Murray. What a performance, young man,
leaning the fucking so goofy, Like he looks so hot
still he knows he's the joke and he did it
so well.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
He's so funny.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That was That was the best scene. I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yea.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
And this character like it's just there.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, they just had to get him in there for
some reason.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Again, he's kind of a joke, but that's okay. So
the day after the big premiere, I went to interview
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lawn. Yes, and I don't
always get starstruck, but I was quite like my heart
was beating really fast.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Had you interview them before I'd.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Met Linday Lowan once before, just very quickly in passing
like a walk by.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
When she was here.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I forgot, like so many people forgot about that era.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
I know, No, I don't forget. I think about it
all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
And I remember having like a children through my body
And that was so weird because I was like, oh,
I see celebrities all the time, and I'm like respectful
of them, but I don't. But I think it's because
I have anyone who I was like obsessed with when
I was younger. Yeah, it feels really surreal to meeting
someone who's become famous since I got into this job.
So I grew up watching Jamie Lee Curtis movies. I
love the Halloween franchise, but I also like My Girls
(17:48):
she's been in and like, obviously Lindsay Lowen is, you know,
even though we're not the same age, our joy childhood
like her movies that wild Yeah, because I.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Got Lindy Lowen like when she was a bit older,
like a teenager. Yeah, as in like like Confessions of
a Teenage Drama Queen were my Lindy Lowen movie. Yeah,
Like that was for me.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's a great movie.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
But yeah, Parents, Trap and just every and even rom
Coms as she got older, like just so so good.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
So yeah, I went to interview them, and I don't
want my preps. Like you go in.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
It's a whole big thing when you go to a
press chunkt like this because you know there's so many levels
of security and stuff. You go and check in downstairs,
then you get escorted up scars when it's your time,
and you get set in these like waiting chairs and
like this whole like city has sprung up with all
these different You've got like their makeup rooms and then
the press room, and then it's all set up in
this like big film set and all this crazy stuff.
So you're sitting in the chair and that she's usually
(18:36):
your moment to kind of well, I take the moment
to kind of like calm down because don't know if
you've noticed I talk really.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Fast, yes, and I get very breathless. It's I'm usually
my moment.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I do some deep breath and all of a sudden,
the door in front of me opens and Jamie Lee
Curtis just walks out of this random room and clocks
me and then starts pointing at me because we're wearing
the same colored jacket. She's throwing a red jacket. I
was throwing a red jacket. And then she's like, oh,
look at us. We're matching. And I was like, yeah,
(19:04):
you look great, and she's like, you look great. And
then we did a little arm bomb because she put
her arm out, so we did a little arm bomb
with my.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's so cute.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
And then she's like, okay, bye. And then I was
the next one, and so I walked into the room.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Okay bye.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
She's like probably like.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Oh I thought that random girl was like someone's assistant.
Now she's like coming in.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
To interview me.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
And so I walked into the room and you've always
got to walk home into this platform and it's Jamie
Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lwan just looking gorgeous, both of them.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And then I sat down to interview them, and it
was hell, we're going to play the interview now because
this was a real moment.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh my god, come wait to listen.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well, it's so lovely to meet you both. And I
have to start by saying I absolutely loved the movie
and I know how hard it would be to recreate
that magic a second time. So I wanted to ask
what moment was it when you're on the set filming
that you really thought this is going to work, this
is what we pictured it to be.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
Oh, the mirror, mirror, the mirror scene, the four of you.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah, anytime you have a Disney body swam. I mean,
there's that's the moment of truth. You can spend as
much time leading up to it afterwards, but that moment
of truth is really the litmus test and for everybody,
for the crew, for the director, for the actors, And
it felt really easy and we started laughing a lot.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Too, right. Also, yeah, it shows something different, something else
comes through when everyone is genuinely having a good time.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
And they were throwing lines at us, as you saw
in the trailer, I mean in the end credits, and
it just became it really became a little mayhem.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
And it was really only day three.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Oh wow, it's good to know that early on, at
that magic.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
So I think it felt like we knew that there
was something going on.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And what I also wanted to ask you is that
I think myself and so many fans a loving seeing
this chemistry between you back on screen, this relationship, and
I know that you've been such close friends for over
twenty years, so making this movie and now going on
this press tour together, what's the best new memory you've
created from this new time of working together.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
It's all been such a labor of love and just
kind of committing to each other and then committing to
the film and everyone involved in the film and everyone
that's been on this worldwide tour with us, that we're
just gonna we're gonna give it all and do it
together and and enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
There was a moment on the because in la at
the premiere, we didn't really get to see each other.
It was a little more phrenetic, and you know, we
went to Mexico and that was a great reaction. But
when we were in London at the premiere, there was
a moment where it was just the two of us
standing there and they were just but they it was
(21:39):
almost when they shot off those confetti things. There was
just a moment we looked at each other and in
that moment there was a moment.
Speaker 7 (21:47):
Of like magic.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
It felt like wow, we're here, we are this is
all real and happening, and it was very special.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
And then the things went off and it.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Got scary, but there was a wordless moment between the
two of us, just to look in the eye, just
between us that I've now shared with the world.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Sorry that means because we're very invested in this in
this movie, and it must be interesting to sort of
see fans who some of them weren't even alive when
the movie was made. We're like, we're waiting in the
line last night to see both on the red carpet
who are watching the movie. You have the outfits like
that's a huge film like iacy to have. I also
wanted to ask a beautiful story thread in the movie
is seeing how your characters are now in this different
(22:30):
stage of motherhood. They're having a bit of a hectic time,
but I also feel that the thread is that they're
very proud of the mothers they've become, while also chasing
these big career dreams of Anna writing her new music
and tests with her podcast and her books. So off
the back of that, I wanted to ask you both,
what is your proudest moment as mothers and what big
career dream do you want to chase next? Well, no, sorry,
(22:51):
big question, but her.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
This moment as a mother, I think I think just
giving birth to my son and holding him for the
first time was the feeling of that moment and the joy,
and everyone says like it's a different kind of love
that you feel in that second, and I think that
is probably a proudest moment of mine as a mother
to date. Just looking at him and looking at me,
and I also seeing my husband hold my son was
(23:15):
just like I have the picture and whenever I look
at it, it's just it brings me right back to
that second.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's really gad.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
I'd say that.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
Career dreams, I don't know. I try to go one
day at a time, so seeing what comes my way
and whatever is meant to be and work out next
will be.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
Both my children wanted to be married in my backyard,
one of them married by me. That showed me in
our family that were a weird blended family through adoption,
but that we are a family because they that's home
for them, that was everything to.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Me, the safest, happiest place, and that.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
That's where they wanted to be while they married their spouses.
So that was beautiful. And you know, I'm just a
boss bitch.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
I am just I'm now you know what I am
just in a.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
I'm taking advantage of now some opportunities that I have,
and I am going full throttle because you know, TikTok
and not the thing that the social media plat or
the Chinese hacking scandal thing that's stealing our soul except
for that. Mother time is ticking and I, you know,
(24:37):
need to take advantage of it. So I had an
idea yesterday and I'm going to speak to Vocal about
it before we leave Australia so that by the time
we land, she's written it. I mean, I'm in that mindset.
I'm very creative right now.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Oh oh, I love that. What a beautiful space to be.
Speaker 7 (24:53):
I'm fertile in that way, very very oh.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I can see that from everything you say. And to
finish up, I know you've been asking, be asked questions
about this movie for over twenty years. You've just been
on a huge press cycled together answering so many questions.
But is there one question you're hoping people would ask
you that no one deed that you'd like to get
out here on this last day?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Wow, I don't know or as.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
To each other, this is the floor.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
Wow, we'll both start to cry. I think, do you
love it. Do you love what you do? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:26):
I do?
Speaker 6 (25:27):
You know that's it's it all comes from love.
Speaker 7 (25:32):
Creativity comes from love the work.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Yeah, there's nothing like the feeling when you get onto
set on that first day, that kind of adrenaline rush
and almost like a safety that you that I feel
and I feel like you feel the same.
Speaker 7 (25:43):
It's just like I feel right at home.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
There's nothing I still I'm sixty seven years old. The
day I pull up to any work I'm doing, I
can't believe I get to do it.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
I can't believe I get to do this job.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
And it has nothing to do with seeing our pictures,
op and all that I'm talking about, the practical even.
Speaker 7 (26:04):
Just coming into here today. I love this job.
Speaker 6 (26:07):
So love sort of is is not brought up enough. Yes,
love of the creative process and the people we get
to do it with.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
And this was filled with love.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Oh, I can really see that.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
We'll thank you both so much.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
Thank you for asking such a like moving and thought
whole question.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Oh well, I mean both, your work has meant so
much to me my whole life. I just wanted to.
Speaker 7 (26:30):
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Why do you keep making celebrities cry?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Can I just say in that moment because that question
at the end I really wanted to ask.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It was also such a good question. But now I
feel like I feel like every other celebrity interview you
have you have to ask do you love it?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah? Do you love it? Do you love it? I
just yeah, I will.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
The reason is because Jamie Lee Curtis has been known
to She's not rude to interviews or anything, but she
has been through it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
She gets carry she she.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Has been no one to sort of push back on
questions and stuff, and often she'll be like, well, actually
I want to say this. So I thought I'm going
to give her the opportunity to say that. And when
she's like, oh, I'm going to cry, I had two thoughts.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The content part of me was like, crying to the camera.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
Goddamn it, shed a tear right now, and she.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Didn't get a little teary, but she didn't have full tear,
so it wasn't a full with me.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Maybe we can super imposed.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
But the other half of me was like, oh my god,
I cannot be the interviewer who makes celebrities cry because
I have just come off the back of just recently
the Pedro Pascal or Aessa Kirby interview of them sobbing
in front of me pretty much, and that's still going
a bit viral at the moment. So I was like,
I cannot be the girl who makes people cry.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I reckon lean in because if you haven't watched the
actual interview, we've posted it on our YouTube channel, a
link in our show notes, because if you need to
physically see the reaction they're having for these questions. All
the comments are so nice, are all calling you really cute, Like.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
She's such a cute interview, Like cute a word that's
never assigned to such a tall woman.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Okay tall.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
This could have been a perfect interview. It could have
been a big day. I had a cute moment with
Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I walked in.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I had a lovely back and forth with Lindsay and
Jamielee Curtis. It was so nice. I stood up to
leave there both. I got to say, like, not in
a creepy way, like how much their movies have meant
to me, which is so true, Like you know me,
I'm not gushy if I don't have to be, but
it was a true statement. And then I got up
to walk away. It could have been so perfect. And
as I'm walking down the steps of that platform.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I trip. I don't fully fall, but I lunge forward
and I do that thing where your arms.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Are waving you're trying to catch yourself but there's nothing
to hold on to.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Yes, and there was nothing. And they both went off and.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
They're probably like, why would you do this in front
of us?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
They're just like in this moment, this moment, like the rowing,
like you're okay, and I was like I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
I was like, no, we walked away too many times. Okay,
I produced them one can we tell watching? What did
you say?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
One?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
You were like, you're about to become the Jennifer Lawrence
on interviewers.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Okay, Yes.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
In my defense, the reason I brought the tall girl
thing is because I can never find pants that are
long enough to touch the floor. All the pants, because
I'm so tall. All the pants I wear show my
ankles and people is like, oh, cute pedal pushes, and
they're not.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
You rarely wear pants either, No.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Because I can't find me long enough and it's embarrassing,
especially when you sit down, because they rise like.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Me and I do.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Every celebrity interview everyone pants, which is actually I like
wearing pants because you're like, again, you're getting down a platform,
you seeing on a chair, pants.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Like you're doing.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Yeah, it's a physical labor and I hate every interview.
If you look at the wide shot, my ankles are
showing at a good portion of my calf and that's
not chic.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
So done in that way. And so I finally found
these pants that drape across the floor. They pull behind
me as I walk. I've never experienced such a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
They also get caught on your shoe when you're going
down some stairs.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
And I this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
As I they're like Plazo pants.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yes, okay, yeah this is weird.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Are we talking about pants in the situation? We need
to know what not to when those pants now, don't worry.
So I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna get
to go do a celebrity interview without my ankles out
like a lady.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Give me and I'm a great experience for everyone.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I felt great, I felt cool, I felt chic. I
felt like an adult until I went down the stairs.
And because I've never had pants that touched the floor.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Before, your legs were getting still getting used to them.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
I lunged down the stairs, So that was embarrassing.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And I even look like they moved you so much
to fall down the stairs or you really wanted to
get out there.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
They're like, this girl's running out of here.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
And so I was hesitant to tell that story because
I'm a competent adult, I'm a professional. I don't want
every story about a celebrity interview I tell to be
a weird thing about me, like Cynthia River is a
wicked having to lean over and fix my lipstick, hitting
my head on the mic, when Vanessa Kirby stood up
to hug me, and Pedro Pascal is trying to pat
my shoulder and I'm like, I have a concussion. I
can't interact with you guys. And then falling down the
(31:02):
stairs and yeah, I told her produced someone and she
was like, you are becoming the Jennifer Lawrence because remember
how Jennifer Lawrence fell. The first time, Everyone's like that's
so cute and adorable. Fell a second time, everyone's like cute,
love her, what a character? Fell a third time and like, oh,
come on.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Girls, stand up. They're like, now you're putting it on.
Now you do. And then she had to leave Hollywood
for like five years.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, we can't afford for you to leave for five years.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
We cannot do that. So that was that story. But yeah,
it was. It was such a lovely moment.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Unfortunately, Speers, we didn't catch the fall on camera, so
you just have to take off it. It was dramatic.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
But ask anyone who works for Disney, because as I
walked out, as I walked over to get my yeah,
she'll remember. She'll be like, oh that tall girl who fell.
You can't see anyone who works with Disney. Because on
my way out, everyone's like that was great, And I'm like, oh,
I fell. And I walked to the door and like
that was great. I'm like I fell. And then downstairs
I went to say goodbye to like people downstairs and like,
how was it?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I said, well, I fell, So you have to It's
like when you have a pimple.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
You have to tell everyone before they Yeah, I had
to tell everyone before. They had to control the story before. Anyway,
So you guys should go see Free Here Friday. It's
