00:00What I really love about these last two movies is how much the story is really about family and

00:05about your relationship with your sister. Can you speak about your continued collaboration

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

00:16I mean it's so funny because from the moment we met it just felt so easy and it felt so natural

00:25and it's like we met on Zoom for the first time and it was just there and I think that's why

00:33Matt and Tyler were like these are the girls because it just felt like we had known each

00:38other for forever and I am a very protective older sister. I have three younger sisters myself

00:44in real life so the idea of this older sister doing anything and going above and beyond to

00:52protect her younger sister was something that felt very natural to me and I love that

01:01that you get to spend so much time with them in this next movie and you get to see more colors

01:06to their relationship because in the fifth one it's pretty much like the younger sister is

01:12getting attacked and the older sister is trying to protect her and like that's it. And in this

01:18one you get to see the frustration that comes with like spending so much time together that's

01:23more that's so common of a sibling relationship when you're living together and so you get to

01:30see friction and you get to see laughter and you get to see now the younger sister being protective

01:37of the older one and so I think it's just a beautiful thing to get to play out with someone

01:43that I love as much as Jenna.
