00:00Oh, oh, no, what is it? I can't who's naked in a movie with me. Okay, it feels really weird to say that out loud
00:11I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk. Oh
00:16No, I thought I would be good at this game. Damn it. It has to be like a like a raunchy comment
00:21Like is it Mike and Dave it is it? Mr. Right? Oh, no. What is it? I can't who's naked in a movie with me
00:28Oh my god. Now. I feel now I feel dumb. You have to audition for the Bellas
00:33I can't concentrate on anything you're saying until you cover your junk when I'm saying cover your junk. I'm
00:39Unfortunately picturing male genitalia. I say this in the shower to
00:43Brittany snow because we did have like the least sexy
00:47Although then it ended up being kind of sexy like while we were shooting it
00:50I was like, this is the least sexy shower scene that's ever been committed to film. This is so funny. Yeah, apparently
00:57It it was kind of sexy to some people which makes me happy
01:01I do wish that but Chloe would be like living on a tiny cottage together already
01:08I did always think like if there ever were another one
01:11It would be like can we just have them get together already? Like what are we doing? This is madness at this point
01:16Okay. Oh
01:18Everybody has a dark side
01:21Some of us are better at hiding it than others. Oh
01:24Oh
01:26God it's like I can hear my own
01:30Delivery
01:31Damn, I thought I would have a better memory than this
01:35Is it kind of like a some of us are better
01:37It's that kind of delivery, right? Why that's weird
01:40This is a weird feeling to be like I can picture myself saying it and I have no idea what it's from
01:47the accountant no, oh
01:50My god, and we just shot the sequel to this I guess the delivery should have given it away. There's a kind of sing-song
01:58Delivery in my brain about it. This is a simple favor. Everybody has a dark side
02:04Some of us are better at hiding it than others
02:06God, I think I'm like slightly drunk in this scene if not very drunk in this scene not at work
02:13Not really, but you know in in the scene. I think that drunk Stephanie is my favorite
02:19Stephanie I think I said that to Paul the director when we were making the second one that I was like if you can just
02:24Get her drunk in scenes
02:26Like if we can have an excuse for her to have like had one too many drinks
02:31Like I really enjoy who she becomes when when she's had a couple. I do think that in the sequel
02:38Stephanie
02:40Has like a little bit more of a spine but you know, she is still like fundamentally who she is
02:45I really wasn't sure how there could be a follow-up to the first movie and that Paul Feig
02:52You know for a guy who makes like some of our favorite comedies
02:56there's something dark going on upstairs like somewhere deep deep down because he's like an absolute sweetheart and he's
03:02The man who brought us bridesmaids and yet I was reading the the script for the sequel and I was like, okay Paul
03:08I see what I see what you're really about
03:11Hmm oh
03:12Boy, aren't people from Arizona supposed to be like really tan. This is Twilight, right?
03:17Yeah, aren't people from Arizona supposed to be like really tan. I remember
03:22auditioning for
03:24Jessica Stanley and Twilight and sort of being like, I mean, there's no way I'm getting this job
03:30Like I I'm the farthest thing from like because I think in the book
03:35She was like the popular girl who's super athletic and good at volleyball and I was like again, have we seen me?
03:43So it was one of those moments where I was like, well
03:45I just want to like try to be funny in the audition and maybe that way like the casting director will think of me
03:49For other stuff
03:50It is kind of amazing how you wish that you could drill that thing into your head of like people like you more when you're
03:57Bringing yourself to the table. I just was like, oh I made Catherine Hardwicke laugh in the audition. That's great
04:03Yeah
04:04getting that job was still like the last thing from my mind and I was very happy to
04:09Be in that movie and be the only person who wasn't like taking everything super seriously
04:15Cuz that's hard like taking that material and like really making it like life or death, you know your soul's on the line
04:23The fact that I just got to show up and like say stuff like this. It made my life pretty easy. Oh
04:28My father's house was a nightmare your house a dream now. I want something in between
04:33Oh, this is into the woods. My father's house was a nightmare
04:37your house a dream
04:41Now I want something in between I
04:44Loved making this movie so much. This might have been the only
04:47Job, I'd ever gotten where I started crying when I found out I got the job like I just couldn't believe it
04:54Like I mean for so many reasons
04:56But not the least of which is that I think of into the woods and I think well
04:59I'm gonna audition for a little red cuz I'm like shrill and small and because it's a movie not a stage production
05:06They're like no. No, we're gonna cast an actual child to play a little red. And so I was like, oh, well, sure
05:11I mean, I'll audition for Cinderella, but like I'm the last person you would cast to play
05:17Sondheim's Cinderella
05:19I cannot believe that I got to stand like three feet away from Meryl Streep while she
05:24Performed last midnight people would pay so much money to be standing three feet away from her at any point
05:32but let alone that point I felt like
05:35Like I was getting away with something. You know what? I mean? Like I'd snuck on set. I was amazing
05:42Girlfriends can be nice. You just had a bad one. Oh 50-50 girlfriends can be nice
05:48You just had a bad one
05:50I actually think this is really sweet that in that scene and then even in the final scene of the movie both of us
05:58Were like, well, maybe my character shouldn't be like making the first move because I was coming from a place of like
06:04I'm playing his therapist. And so this is like very unethical
06:07but I thought it was so sweet that Joe Gordon-Levitt like was really hesitant to
06:13Do this thing that was kind of playful
06:15Do this thing that was kind of playful in the movie where he says something like
06:21basically that he like wants to fire me as his therapist so that we can like go on a date because he was like
06:26But as a professional I really want to like respect her and I should value her as a therapist
06:33But I thought like that spoke really well of who Joe is as a person
06:38I'm a strong independent. Okay. I'm a strong independent woman. Oh god, and I will get on a table
06:46And shake my shit to RiRi because that's my right America feminism
06:51It feels really weird to say that out loud without wearing like my push-up bra and a red wig
06:59This is bike and Davey wedding dates
07:01I am a strong independent woman and I will get on a table and shake my shit to RiRi because it's my right
07:08America feminism again very drunk in this scene
07:12I think even the wig I'm wearing in this scene because I like changed my hair a bunch in that movie is
07:17Like really really ratty and stuff. So I felt really really gross this night and I did get on a table
07:25In front of a bunch of background performers and do a little table dance. It was a different time
07:34You're so pretty you're exactly what I want to look like in 15 years
07:39God this is hard to read considering that it has been 15 years since I shot up in the air
07:46Which is what this is from
07:51Seeing this makes me like wow
07:52It has been 15 years and I I had the absolute audacity to say this to the stunning and talented Vera Farmiga
08:00I'm disappointed that I don't look more like Vera Farmiga. That's actually pretty upsetting
08:04I think maybe I was expecting to actually transform into her with her like icy blue eyes and
08:11perfect hair
08:12Anyway, again, I said this drunk God, maybe I'm really that's the key to every character. Is that I'm better when the characters drunk
08:22Maybe next time we don't date the girl with 11 evil ex-boyfriends. Oh, this is from Scott Pilgrim
08:28Maybe next time we don't date the girl with 11 evil ex-boyfriends
08:33I really like shooting that scene
08:34well
08:35probably because that movie was absolutely bat shit crazy to film cuz it's really complicated and there's like
08:4220 principal characters in every scene
08:44so it was really nice to have like one scene where it's just like me and
08:49Michael Cera on the swings. It was like a very calm day on a very hectic
08:54Set and I know that I'm a sister. So I know that thing of being like, okay, sweetie. Maybe better decisions next time
09:04Oh
09:07My god, where are we? What is this place? Anyway, I'm auditioning him in like a week. This is from woman of the hour. Oh
09:15My god, where are we?
09:18What is this place?
09:20Anyway, I'm auditioning in a week
09:22This was the second day of filming and it was my first time acting on screen while I was directing
09:28You might be seeing or I hope you're not seeing some internal panic, you know
09:33Obviously it is like a fascinating true crime story
09:36but it really feels like it's exploring these themes around the way that women move through the world and kind of have to try to
09:44Survive every day every moment. I'm a loud director. I
09:49Mean, I guess I'm a loud person. I'm sort of joking, but I was loud occasionally
09:55I was kind of like worried about being really the shortest person
10:00at work and
10:02Trying to be a leader and be heard meant that I did kind of default to being a little bit shrill sometimes
10:09But I tried to at the very least be kind of effusively grateful which which I genuinely am for everybody that showed up
