Christina Milian. How are you.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm great, Mario, how are you well?

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Nice to nice to see you again. First off, congrats
you're starring in a great new Christmas movie that's a hit.
Meet Me Next Christmas produced for my homie gild the
Monster Mark roberts Over on Netflix. For those who may
not be familiar with what's the premise of the film, The.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Premise of the film is a girl who's on the
hunt for love. She's she meets a guy named James
at the airport and makes his pack like they have
this amazing synergy and when they leave, they make this
pack that if they if fate allows, then a year
from now they would meet each other a Pentatomics concert,
and all of a sudden, a year later comes up

(00:49):
and she's like, she remembers this, has epiphany, like James said,
we could meet there. She's single and she so then
she's on the hunt for Pensatonics tickets because they're sold
out everywhere, and so highs Teddy at Impromptu to help her,
and he's like a concierge service to help her find
her tickets, and so it's her in New York City
on this crazy goose hunt for these tickets and it's

(01:11):
actually really really very cute.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
And Pentatonics is of course in the film. Nice guys,
we've had we've had them in there. How'd you like
working with them?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
You have? Okay, they're great. I love Pentatonics. They're actually
you know, most of my scenes were not necessarily with
them until like later on in the end. We have
our big scene at the end. But then as times
proceeded and we've done like promo and stuff, we've gotten
to meet them and they're so cool. And then like
in the movie, they're so funny. They're really funny in
the movie. Like I love their personalities. I actually like

(01:40):
feel like I got to like I want to be
their best friend.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
After What's that's great? Well, this Friday, you've also got
a new show coming to Paramount plus Dexter Original Sin,
which is prequel, of course to the hit show Oh
tell Me about.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
This, oh Man. So Dexter Original Sin is the prequel
to the original. It's a young Exter Morgan and him
kind of like exploring and really like giving. He's trying
to figure out what this urge is that he has
to be a serial killer and uh, and he kind
of expresses this to his dad, and his dad helps

(02:15):
him channel this energy because it's inevitable, like this trauma
that Dexter experience when he was younger. And in the
role they have Patty Gibson, Christian Slater plays Harry Morgan,
who's his father in the in the on the series
and I play this is where I come along, so
Dexter eventually it becomes a forensics intern at the Miami

(02:37):
Metro Department and the station, and that's where I also
come along. It's my first time being in the Miami
Metro Station department and I'm a detective. I'm Maria la Guera.
Theres Hello and and so yeah. So that's where we
cross paths is back in the station. I like you
as a cup.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
I like great cast too, cool people right there? Who
did you Who did you kick it with the most?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
You know? I kicked out with everyone in different times
because there's such an ensemble cast. I mean this Christian Slater,
Patrick Gibson, I mean Patrick Gibson, Patrick gmc, Sarah, Michelle Geller,
we have a lot of really big group moments, but
I think that the person I had the most scenes
with was Christian Slater, and we hung out the most,

(03:24):
like while we were working on the on the show,
So it was that was that was kind of cool.
I was pinching myself about that because I was like,
the first time I had a scene with him, I'm like, dude,
I'm like thinking of flashback of all the things that
I love about him. Yeah, yeah, you know, I'm actually
working with him now. So yeah, he's a cool guy.
He's the coolest guy. I think that's also like that'll
that that is the biggest surprise too, Like, you're so funny,

(03:45):
you're such a nice guy.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh that's good to hear. Yeah, great, cast, congrats on that.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I know you you left America and you moved to France.
Fell the dude's French, right, your husband?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yes, yes, yes, Matt, Matt is French. She's a French
clop singer back in France. Almost That's what brought us
over two France.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
So is uh speaking of that, what's up with music
or is that still something like you you'd like to
do me?

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I don't think so. I like infusing it now and
like movies are the things that I do like with
my acting career, but music is such like I love
music so much, but it's one of those passions that
you have to have it you kind of almost the
way that I feel about it. You almost have to
set a lot of sacrifice human family and time and
family needs so much more to me than you know,

(04:35):
than sacrificing that time. I already do it with my
film career, so it's enough for me to just do
it one way and with the other things that I
have going on.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I have a good idea. I think you should do it.
When we do our Christmas film together and you sing
there like yeah, I think I think that's the move right,
it works.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I like it. That's what I'm saying. It's gotta be
if you make it like more musical and I'm singing
in that's perfect.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
There we go there, Hey, I'll be back up.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Your back up right there is sure.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You gotta get see me get down right there.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
You're feeling good, You're like, I got.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Like, hold on, uh huh, I'm I'm gonna manifest that.
I'm telling you, I'm gonna manifest that right there. Congratulations
on everything. Always love seeing you and listen. Be sure
