00:05and around all these powerhouse women?
00:07I mean, I just found out who's at my table,
00:09and I'm freaking out.
00:10Like, you know, I go to these events all the time,
00:12but this feels like the one that has the most star power at it.
00:16Pam Anderson's at my table, Anna Kendrick, Julia Fox,
00:20Brenda Song.
00:21Like, it's a who's who.
00:22And then I'm next to, like, Nicole Kidman's table.
00:26It's like, it's unreal, you know?
00:28A year ago, I wouldn't have even been
00:31in the conversation for this.
00:32So it's like, it's been, it's crazy how, like, just a year
00:35can, like, change your life, and then suddenly this is,
00:37you know, I'm giving the opening remarks to this.
00:39Like, these people have to, like, listen to me talk,
00:41and they didn't even know I existed a year ago.
00:43It's fun.
00:44I love that it's, like, a huge, like, sisterhood that,
00:46like, everyone has going on here, but it's really nice.
00:49I know you mentioned Nicole Kidman.
00:50She's being honored with the Sherri Lansing Leadership Award.
00:53What is a project of hers that really wowed you?
00:56Oh, my gosh.
01:01I mean, Eyes Wide Shut was amazing.
01:04I mean, that's the one, the first one that comes to mind.
01:06I mean, what was the Practical Magic?
01:10Was that the one that she was in?
01:11Called Classic.
01:12Yeah, she's amazing in that.
01:13I mean, like, everything she does, she's just insane.
01:17Like, and she's aging backwards.
01:19Even the AMC moment, like, has become this iconic meme moment
01:26that the other day when I went to go see Wicked,
01:30people applauded after the AMC thing.
01:35And people quote it, too.
01:36And people quote it all the time.
01:38She's just, like, someone that we've just, you know,
01:41watched for so long, but she's still, she's just timeless.
01:45And yeah, it's just incredible to be in the same room as her.
01:49Yeah, for sure.
01:49Well, speaking of female-led performances, Wicked,
01:52you said you just saw it.
01:53What did you think of it?
01:55I didn't know much going in because I just
01:57didn't grow up, like, knowing much about the musical.
02:00So I went in kind of blindly.
02:01And I loved it so much.
02:03Like, I'm just, like, I'm loving these moments where
02:06you just go into this world and disappear
02:08for, like, a really long time in this, like,
02:10girly, fun, like, fantasy world.
02:12Like, I've been to many, many ERAs tours.
02:15And it kind of felt like that same energy.
02:17Like, I got dressed up.
02:18It felt like something that it was just,
02:20it felt like a sisterhood in there, you know,
02:22even with the guys that were there.
02:23It just felt, you know, in a time where you're just kind
02:27of like, oh, this feels weird to be a woman.
02:29And maybe things aren't going the way we want it to
02:32in every other way.
02:33Like, that's just a place where you can kind of go and escape
02:34and feel like, oh, it's, everything's OK.
02:37I loved it.
02:38I mean, it was so good.
02:38I can't wait to see it again.
02:40Like, it's, it's, I saw it in IMAX.
02:41So I'm like, I got to see it on my phone.
02:43I got to see it on a regular screen.
02:44I got to see it in an airplane.
02:46Yeah, I got to see it everywhere.
02:47You got to have the wind blowing in your hair.
02:49Yes.
02:50Oh, my gosh, that's a part of it.
02:51Yes, they get the wind blowing in your hair.
02:53Go get your ticket.
02:54Oh, my God.
02:55And some mushrooms.
02:56Yeah, really live, live it.
02:58I love that.
02:58I know you spoke about the Aerosaur.
03:00Are you going to the final show?
03:01I am.
03:02I'm, you know, who knows what's going to happen?
03:05I have, I just, I have a swifty suspicion
03:09there's going to be more something.
03:10But I am going to night three in Vancouver.
03:13And I'm very sad that it's ending
03:15because it's been such a huge part of my life.
03:17I've gone to 22 shows.
03:20And so, but it's, I'm so excited.
03:23Like, I haven't felt this kind of excitement
03:25since the first one, you know?
03:26Like, it's, so who knows what's going to happen?
03:28I think it's going to be probably a six hour show
03:31with all the applauding and crying
03:33and like just us wanting to thank her
03:36for all the work she's put in.
