0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Hi.

0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:04.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are You

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 2>a Charlotte?

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Guess what, you guys?

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 2>We are here for a very special holiday edition of

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Are You a Charlotte. We have our wonderful producer Easton

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.480
<v Speaker 2>with me and we're going to talk about all of

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 2>my Christmas movies.

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited about this. The best part of the season.

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank you for joining us. It's really fun.

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 2>We were trying to think of something special to do

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>for the holidays because, with the exception of the first

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>movie of Sex and the City, we don't really have

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Christmas stuff. Yeah, which I guess we could do next year.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe we'll do the movie for next year. I

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 2>don't know, but right now, it's really fun that we're

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>here and we can talk about my Christmas movies because

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I have a few.

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that funny?

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I really I did to think about it.

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh my god, I have so many,

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 3>which is funny.

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 2>And it is kind of like a cottage industry Christmas movies,

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>which is fun because when you're home with the holidays

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and your family and you want to watch something together,

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>it's nice that you know there are movies that are appropriate, right.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>It's the best part of the year. I think, Yes,

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I love having these movies as like a tradition, and

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I love the idea that, like they're you're part of

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.480
<v Speaker 1>so many people's holiday traditions. There are people that watch.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.039
<v Speaker 2>These movies every year, which is amazing, amazing, and I

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>love that on social media because usually the holidays are

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>coming and I'm so busy getting ready and then all

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden someone will come on and.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.479
<v Speaker 3>Say, like, I watched Holiday in the Wild listener whatever

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 3>it is. I'm like, oh, right, Holiday in the Wild.

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.839
<v Speaker 2>So that let's start with Holiday in the Wild, which

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>is my most recent Christmas movie. I made it for

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 2>Netflix with the incredible Rob Loo, which is the second

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>time Robin I've worked together. We did something called The

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>Atomic Train, which was a two part mini series I

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>guess I don't know what we called it at the

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 2>time in the nineties, I want to say late nineties.

0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 2>It was really fun, and then I convinced him to

0:01:55.520 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>go trapes around African countries in very places with me

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to do this elephant movie slash Christmas themed movie, Holiday

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>in the Wild, which was very much taken from my

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 2>experience of going to Kenya, though in the film where

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 2>in South Africa predominantly, and also Zambia a little bit.

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>But it was about how it's basically my story with

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>some embellishments, I guess, but it's that I had been

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>on Safari in two thousand and one in Kenya and

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 2>fallen in love with all of the animals and the

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:34.920
<v Speaker 2>people in the country and the land and everything. And

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 2>then I was back there in two thousand and nine

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>and my friend and I found an abandoned baby elephant,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>and baby elephant alone without her mother or family I know,

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and we found her, my friends and I, and we

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 2>were able to take her to the Sheldrik Trust, which

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>is an incredible.

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Place in Kenya.

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>They have raised and rehabilitated and put back into the

0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 2>wild over I think three hundred and eighty elephants now

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>and they're all having wild born babies. And I had

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>been involved with them since two thousand and nine and

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I love them very much, and so we basically took

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that as the jumping off place for the story of

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Holiday in the Wild. There's a love story that I

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>personally did not experience a love story part. But the

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>love story is that Rob is my pilot, which he

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 2>just loves so much being being a pilot of a

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>tiny super cup and the outback.

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, he was very into that part of his role.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>And it was really fun because it was very much

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, Netflix says that they're committed to being a

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>global company, and it really it really was that. Like

0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 2>we were in South Africa. They had an incredible production.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>We were in Zambia. You know, everything was just beautifully done.

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 2>There was so much care taken in terms of you know,

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>the culture. It was translated into all the languages, Wahili,

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>all the different languages, and you know, I really I

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate that they were able to fund my my

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 2>beautiful you know vision of a of a movie about

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:03.839
<v Speaker 2>elephant conservation.

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I watched this last night with my wife.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 3>Amazing loved it, absolutely loved it.

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>And something that I love about this that it sets

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>it apart from other like holiday movies like this is

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>that I'm watching it, I'm like, Okay, she's gonna fall

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.239
<v Speaker 1>in love with Rob Loow and that's no, that doesn't

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>really happen until much Sorry everybody, if you haven't seen

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>in the mild spoiler, it doesn't. What keeps you there

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>is love of the elephants and of the people and

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>of the of the land and the culture and everything.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>And I thought that was really beautiful. And the romance

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like, I don't want to say, an afterthought,

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>but like it happens much later, right, And what an

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>inspiring movie. I told you just before we started. But

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>like we were pausing the movie and like looking up

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>how to like adopt an elephant from.

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Them, and you can anyone can adopt an element elephant

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 2>on the Sheldrick Trust website is I think it's Sheldrick

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Trust dot org and it's fifty dollars a year. I

0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>give it to all the kids in my life every year.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>And the thing that's great about it is they send

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you monthly updates of how your elephant is doing. They

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>let you choose your elephant, so you can choose a

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 2>little baby that's in the nursery in Nairobi, or you

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 2>can choose like, for instance, my elephant that I found, Chaimu,

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>is living in the wild now in the national park

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 2>called Tsavo. You can still help help support Chaimu because

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>they still come to visit, like if they have a baby,

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>they bring the baby to meet the keepers. It's like

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>so magical and unbelievable and just they're so brilliantly done.

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 2>And the sheldrics also have at this point, I think

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>it's ten anti poaching units. We have vet units that

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>are there to treat any wild animal, elephant, zebra, giraffe.

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're just supporting all of the wild animals

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and allowing them to live safely in the wild and

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 2>protecting them, which is amazing, incredible.

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>And this is all, you know, part of a holiday movie. Yeah,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I know, we have a lot of movies to get to,

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 1>but I just wanted there's a couple of things that

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>jumped out at me.

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 3>Tell me.

0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>First of all, your looks were amazing. There's a left

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.239
<v Speaker 1>there's a levee print dress you wear.

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>That's still Chase absolutely, thank you so much. Okay, oh

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I had to take the clothes with me.

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you, Yeah.

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Near the beginning of the movie, there's

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 1>a part where you say and just like that, it's

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>an emptinss no, you guys excited.

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 3>That's insane. I didn't remember that.

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>That was very fun.

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Isn't it weird how often people in general say and

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>just like that, Yeah, there was a headline the other

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 2>day about the drama of Warner Brothers that said, and

0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.640
<v Speaker 2>just like that Netflix bies Warner Brothers.

0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 3>I sent it to Sarah and Cynthia. I was like,

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 3>can you believe this?

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>It's it's permeated culture. And then a major question I

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>have again, I'm sorry for spoiling holiday in the while.

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>This isn't a major thing, but like at one point,

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a painting painted a view with elephants. Yeah, where's that?

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Did you get to keep? Yeah?

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 3>I did not want to keep that painting.

0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 2>No offense to whoever made that prop but I didn't

0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>love that painting.

0:06:58.400 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Did you like that painting?

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.599
<v Speaker 1>It was an interesting interpretation of what you look like?

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Now?

0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>I had to look so moved.

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say how I come to have

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 2>the painting in the movie, because that is towards the end.

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I was supposed to look so moved and I had

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>to stare at the actual painting. That took some acting,

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.400
<v Speaker 2>you guys. Okay, that's all I want to say. Sorry

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to anyone I might be offending who made that painting

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>in South Africa for us, But I didn't love it.

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 3>I didn't love it. I did not keep it.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I think they tried to give it to me, and

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 2>I was like, that's okay, Yeah, that's all right.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm good.

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 2>So that's on Netflix, and I think you can watch it.

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>It's called Holiday in the Wild. I think if you

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 2>just search it. I think it's easily watchable. Pretty much

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>every year I post about it, and it's so nice

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 2>to hear people loving it and wanting to see it.

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 3>And I love it so much.

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>It's a great movie.

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I really loved it. Thank you.

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>But you've done some other other holidays, so many.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 3>So many.

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the one is the one before that, Shirley maclan.

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 1>That's the one Christmas from twenty sixteen.

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Christmas twenty sixteen, right, and the fantastic Eric McCormack is

0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 2>my love interest in that one. I mean, I get

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>some good guys in these Christmas movies.

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I gotta say, you really walked out.

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's pretty good.

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking the other day I should try to

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>do another Christmas movie in my future, because it's been

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 2>pretty good for me. In this one, Shirley McClain is

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 2>a ghost and my character dies. I slip on the ice. Yes,

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm a career woman. This is a theme it's gonna

0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 2>come back. It's interesting. I don't know why I'm drawn

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 2>to these things what I am so I slip on

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.199
<v Speaker 2>the ice. I'm a super career woman. I don't have

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a relationship or anything. I think that's what I remember.

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>And I'm walking in my career suits and I slip

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 2>on the ice and hit my head and I die.

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Theoretically I die, I guess, or I partially die or whatever.

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>I go to heaven and I see Shirley McLain and

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I have a cat in heaven.

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why I have a cat in heaven,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 3>but I have a cat that I remember.

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 2>I remember this day really well. Filming with Shirley and

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 2>a cat. It was a lot to handle. I had

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.280
<v Speaker 2>to hold the cat. Cats don't always do what you want,

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>even though they're trained.

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 3>This was a very.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Wonderful cat, though, and we did great together. And I

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 2>remember Shirley was like skeptical that the cat was going

0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 2>to do what the cat was supposed to do. And

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 2>of course you're really just so odd that you're actually

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 2>just acting with Shirley McLain that it's like hard to

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 2>even focus, you know. And she was incredible and fascinating

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>We spent many weeks together in Vancouver, and she was

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 2>just a joy so much.

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:28.200
<v Speaker 3>We flew together.

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, she was older at this point, but like

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 2>such a trooper. They got her up on this fire

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>escape at one point in this movie, and I was

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>so nervous. I was like, you guys, please get Shirley

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 2>down off the fire's cape. And we were on the

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 2>beach at one point and the storm was coming and

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the wind is just blowing, and she's basically she's trying

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 2>to say to me, my character that I haven't, you know,

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>paid attention to the important things in life, like love.

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 2>And then Eric's character is back on Earth, and oh,

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 2>it's possible that I get a chance to go back

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 2>to Earth, and if I don't go blow it, I

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 2>get to stay on Earth. I think, though I'm not

0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 2>sure because it's very similar to another Christmas movie.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 3>I did that we will get to in a second.

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 2>They're very similar, and I just love those type stories.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of those people where if I'm looking at Instagram,

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you guys get this on Instagram,

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 2>but I have this a a page I guess where

0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 2>people who died briefly talk about their experience.

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you get this?

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I have not seen it.

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 3>No, have you gotten this? Hebby, Okay, it exists. It's

0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>really good.

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>And they talk about what their experience was when they died,

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and it's fascinating, fascinating. I'm just very fascinated by this.

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 2>So I do believe that there is some kind of

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>an afterlife. I don't think that it's necessarily textbook Christianity,

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 2>but I do believe that there is an afterlife. And

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's super interesting to think about briefly passing

0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 2>over to the other side and then coming back.

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it's very interesting. Oh yeah, yeah.

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.720
<v Speaker 2>So sometimes they offer me movies about this, and I

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>almost always say yes. So in that movie, Sherley McClain

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>is my guide.

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Which is incredible. Yeah.

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 2>And she was amazing and I asked her a lot

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>of questions and she was just funny and a little

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>bit intense and you know, really fascinating in always and

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.719
<v Speaker 2>I was really lucky to get to work with her.

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>And Eric was also incredible. And Eric was like I

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 2>had known Eric a long time. I had been on

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Will and Grace, but I did not know Eric as

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 2>a leading man, and he was like, wow, surprising.

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Season seven, episode seven. If you want to go back

0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and rewatch that episode of Will and Grace you guys

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>did together.

0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, thank you so much to.

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Nadine from two thousand and four.

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And you know who is on that episode who plays

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Evince is Bobby Kennavalle, who plays Funky Spunk.

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a full circle moment, you guys.

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 2>So Bobby plays in Will and Grace Will's boyfriend, and

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 2>then I play his best friend in life, so I'm

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>like his grace.

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, it was very trippy. It was very very trippy,

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 2>but really really fun. And Eric I just had only

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>known him, you know, we'd been at all the award

0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 2>shows and everything is we were kind of the same

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>era of you know, sitcoms or whatever you would call

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>it comedy. But he it was very different to play

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 2>opposite him. And we have this very long romantic scene

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>where we dance and kiss and stuff. Oh my gosh,

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.080
<v Speaker 2>oh my goodness, me. It was quite something. Anyway.

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.640
<v Speaker 1>That was a tenth of the nineteen original films from

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>Hallmarks twenty sixteen count down to Christmas.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 3>It was a situation.

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's a big deal over there, and they have

0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 2>many huge billboards and you promote a lot, and I mean,

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I love I love that they make so

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 2>many movies over there at Hallmark.

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if they still are. I don't know.

0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean the demand is there. Yeah yeah.

0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>And now they're in competition with Lifetime exactly.

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, everybody's doing it now and Netflix, Netflix is like

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 2>doing a lot.

0:12:49.520 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Deck the hall, oh, deck the hall.

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So in this movie, I played Matthew Broderick's wife.

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 2>You guys crazy, it's crazy. I remember calling Sara Jessica

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and asking her if she it was okay. She was like,

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>of course, she thought it was so silly. But we

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>go up there to Vancouver. It was the summer. Usually

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>film Christmas movies in the summer. It was one hundred

0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 2>degrees in Vancouver. Wow. And we were supposed to be

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 2>in a snowy Christmas setting. The snow, the fake snow

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 2>kept melting. We were sweating. Matthew's my husband, Danny DeVito

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>is his friend and our neighbor. And Kristin Chenna with

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>plays his wife. And we're up there for a while,

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and Alia Sokhat plays my daughter, which is bizarre, okay,

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 2>because she's prolific and brilliant, but she was so young

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 2>then and I just I just love watching her now

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:53.120
<v Speaker 2>because I'm like, that's my little baby grown up.

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 3>It was really fun.

0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.320
<v Speaker 2>It was a really weird thing because at one point

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Matthew and I do kiss and so falling fake snow,

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:03.560
<v Speaker 2>and I was just like, this is very weird, and

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:04.079
<v Speaker 2>he was like.

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:04.720
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not.

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 2>I was like, guys, guys are so weird. It's like,

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 2>it is weird to lock lips with your friend's husband, even.

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 3>If it's brief.

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's strange, but it was fun. It was fun,

0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's very family friendly there. It's not in any

0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 2>way questionable.

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>At one point you said that that kissing scene was

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>too steamy A for a PG rating, did I Yes, Wow,

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the scene as film just too steamy. It would have

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>had to been cut from the Oh.

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:34.160
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, I believe it.

0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I realized at the time, because I

0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 2>was still kind of I think this was right after

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>we finished Sex in the City, or maybe before the movies,

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.400
<v Speaker 2>even like in between the show and the movies, and

0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I remember I was just more in the Sex and

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>the City type mode, and I just think we didn't

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 2>really realize the chasteness that we were supposed to be.

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, it was like a Chase married kiss you.

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, they had to kind of edit it, which

0:14:59.080 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>was fine.

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Well that's at Deck the Halls from two thousand

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 1>and six, and that was released theatrically. Uh And I

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>want to tell people where they can watch these if

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>they're streaming it. Where can you watch Deck the Halls

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>on Hulu? It's on AMC Plus.

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:14.120
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it's on UH And it's on Netflix too, wow. Wow,

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>your one stop shop for I.

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Never get any of these residuals. I might want to add,

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.320
<v Speaker 2>never seen any residuals some Deck the Halls. That's very interesting.

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Well for a couple of pennies, come in my way.

0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:34.960
<v Speaker 1>And then a movie called Three Days.

0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Three Days is the one that I get a

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of people ask me about because it's kind of

0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 2>hard to find. I looked it up and I found

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>it on Amazon Prime. But it says very interestingly that

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:47.920
<v Speaker 2>it's from the Wondery, which I've.

0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Never heard of. And when I made it, I believe

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 3>we made it.

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>For ABC Family, which used to be a cable station.

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes right, yes, but things.

0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Have been bought and sold and bought and sold, as

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 2>we know, and so who knows. But now it's it's

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>it's on Amazon Prime for everyone who asks me on Instagram.

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:09.640
<v Speaker 2>But it's under the wondering and I don't know what

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 2>that means, but it's interesting. Three days, I think, possibly

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I also die, you do, Yeah, I think I die, right,

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 2>But it's about my husband not having been present, and

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 2>a good husband, I think to me. So he gets

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 2>three days to try to do better or I am

0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 2>actually going to die. I might die, and then I

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 2>might really die, like maybe I'm in the hospital.

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 3>I think I might be in the hospital, like in

0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.480
<v Speaker 3>a coma. Am I in a koma?

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Says you're tragically killed?

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 3>I killed?

0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember?

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I remember?

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so this this is what I remember about this.

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I'm just gonna get out of the way.

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 2>I am dating the actor who's in it with me.

0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 2>His name is Red Diamond. We discussed him with Danny Futterman.

0:16:59.320 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 3>That's read.

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 2>He very good actor. We went to Nova Scotia to

0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.959
<v Speaker 2>do this film in February. It was between seasons of

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Sex and the City. I had to fly down from

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Nova Scotia to New York for our first read through

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 2>of the season on my one day off and fly

0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.720
<v Speaker 2>back right like it was craziness. And it was forty

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 2>below in Nova Scotia in February and there was like

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.000
<v Speaker 2>eight feet of snow, like it was so intense, and

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>we had to pretend that we were in Boston, I believe.

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 2>So we're wearing little leather jackets and the crew is

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 2>wearing like huge snowsuits where you can only see their

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.080
<v Speaker 2>eyes right like they're and they're heated, they're electric heated whatever.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>And we're in little jeans and like a little jacket.

0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, it was cold, but it was beautiful. And

0:17:41.600 --> 0:17:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Nova Scotia is a trip trip and a half to

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 2>film in very different It's trippy, trippy, trippy, but fun

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 2>and interesting. And we were out there in the cold

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 2>and the scene I think I get hit by a

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 2>car is coming back to me because I'm holding a

0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.959
<v Speaker 2>dog and it was the middle of the night and

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 2>it was forty below and I was so worried about

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that dog because I had to drop the dog on

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>the asphalt and I didn't want to freeze its feet

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.000
<v Speaker 2>to freeze, right. So we got this special tent, this

0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 2>heated little igloo tent and like I would drop the

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 2>dog and then I would have to grab it, and

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>then I would like save it, you know, like put

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>it into the tent for the dog handler who was

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 2>in the tent. Like the dog got special special care

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.520
<v Speaker 2>because I was like, we are not going to hurt

0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:24.920
<v Speaker 2>this dog in this weather.

0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 3>It was a sweet dog too. But yeah, I guess

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I'm killed. But I don't know. I don't remember the

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 3>plot enough to know how he fixes it.

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.919
<v Speaker 1>The tragic three days for Christmas and Angel gives Andrew

0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the chance to relive the last three days his wife

0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 1>was alive. Oh but he can't change fate, and Beth

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>wills Beth Kristin will still lose her life. Oh no, However,

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Andrew can still discover the gift Beth needs most from him.

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh watch and find it so sweeteet.

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh so I do die, I do die?

0:18:55.440 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, this is my specialty Christmas movies where I die.

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>The ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future.

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 3>I know, it's really interesting.

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I didn't really realize until I started trying to think

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.360
<v Speaker 2>about this for today that I had two movies involving

0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 2>death and Christmas and trying to do it better in

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 2>a short period of time somehow, you know, like trying

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:19.639
<v Speaker 2>to redo things or fix things.

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:20.720
<v Speaker 3>I love that stuff.

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>It's really interesting and I think it's it's more I

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:26.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say, more compelling, but like it's better,

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I think than being stuck in the like uh oh,

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 1>big city girl goes back home.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, those are really popular, and look I do

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 2>it's not that far from them because like in the

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Shirley McLain one, I am like a career girl who

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 2>hasn't paid attention to relationships, right, So like the Eric

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.800
<v Speaker 2>McCormack characters like kind of in front of me, but

0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I haven't really taken.

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:49.680
<v Speaker 3>The time, you know what I'm saying.

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:51.480
<v Speaker 2>So it is still like that, but it just involves

0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 2>death also, and I think in the Three Days, I

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>think maybe he's two career yes, you know, which is

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 2>a pretty big theme.

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Your death exists to help him realize the true spirit

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of Christmas, which.

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 3>Is right interesting.

0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Women exist to help men find you know, the truth

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:12.119
<v Speaker 1>and everything.

0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.240
<v Speaker 2>But listen, I said yes to that, so I think

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a pretty good role. Like there's

0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:17.840
<v Speaker 2>something that made me say yes. So I don't I

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 2>don't feel like it's all.

0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.880
<v Speaker 1>About him okay, good, Well, I can't wait to watch
