This episode of CherryPop is presented by Gravitas Premiere's sparkling comedy with a magical twist, Mack & Rita. A 30-year-old writer played by Elizabeth Lail spends a wild weekend in Palm Springs and wakes up to find she has magically transformed into her 70-year-old self in this delightful comedy starring Oscar-winner Diane Keaton.
On this week of CherryPop, Meg is joined by Mack & Rita director Katie Aselton and star Elizabeth Lail.
Meg and Katie discuss how the film deconstructs preconceived notions and societal stereotypes about age, and Katie shares her personal and professional journey toward embracing her authentic self.
Later on, Mack & Rita star Elizabeth Lail sheds light on her powerful and memorable experience working on the film, the importance of leading with kindness, and more!
“Life is too short, and you should experience full joy. So many different kinds of women were on set, and we were all allowed to be who we are. Even if you are quiet and introverted, there was space for that, or if you wanted to be playful, there was space for that. Katie was like, This is great. You guys are great as you are; let's put a camera on it.” - Elizabeth Lail
