In this delightful chat with actress and comedy writer Melissa Melançon, we learn about the connection between laughter and jump scares; the cutest little snack to eat with any movie (APC); what movie scene Mixtape thinks was an inspiration for Our Flag Means Death; we check our room for wiretaps from "The Mouse"; and we try not to cry every single time we talk about our beloved Robin Williams, RIP. This is a fantastic interview with Melissa full of laughs, tears, and love. Enjoy!
