00:00 What I really love about these last two movies

00:02 is how much the story is really about family

00:05 and about your relationship with your sister.

00:08 Can you speak about your continued collaboration

00:11 with Jenna Ortega and kind of fleshing out these two women?

00:14 - I mean, it's so funny because from the moment we met,

00:21 it just felt so easy and it felt so natural.

00:25 And it's like, we met on Zoom for the first time

00:29 and it was just there.

00:31 And I think that's why Matt and Tyler were like,

00:34 "These are the girls,"

00:35 because it just felt like we had known each other

00:38 for forever.

00:39 And I am a very protective older sister.

00:42 I have three younger sisters myself in real life.

00:45 So the idea of this older sister doing anything

00:50 and going above and beyond to protect her younger sister

00:53 was something that felt very natural to me.

00:57 And I love that you get to spend so much time with them

01:02 in this next movie,

01:04 and you get to see more colors to their relationship

01:06 because in the fifth one,

01:08 it's pretty much like the younger sister's getting attacked

01:13 and the older sister's trying to protect her,

01:16 and that's it.

01:17 And in this one, you get to see the frustration

01:20 that comes with spending so much time together.

01:23 That's so common of a sibling relationship

01:27 when you're living together.

01:28 And so you get to see friction and you get to see laughter

01:33 and you get to see now the younger sister being protective

01:37 of the older one.

01:38 And so I think it's just a beautiful thing

01:41 to get to play out with someone that I love as much as Jenna.
