So a few days ago, 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 1: on a stage in Los Angeles, I had one of 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,919 Speaker 1: the best nights of my life. Okay, here's what happened. 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: Apple Books, Apple TV, Reese's book Club, and Hello Sunshine. 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: Brought together an incredible group of women for a conversation, 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: and there was so much to celebrate. We had Laura 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: Dave's new novel the first time I saw him, which 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: was January's Reese's book Club Pick. Then we were celebrating 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: season two of The Last Thing He Told Me, which 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: is premiering on Apple TV on February twentieth. And beyond 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: the book and the show, we were also celebrating something 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: close to my heart and I know yours too, the 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: magic that happens when women take agency in their lives 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: and become the heroes of their own stories. That stage 18 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: was filled with actors and producers, writers, friends, mothers, daughters. 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: It was a room full of brilliant women and the vibes. Okay, 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: the vibes were immaculate. I'm not gonna lie. The energy 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: in the room was electric today. I am so excited 22 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: to share that conversation with you. You already know you 23 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: are in the right place.

Ooh, but I want more words, 56 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 9: but I'm in the sick Listeste. 57 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 3: Are you a rule follower? Yes, so am I. I'm 58 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: Rita Wilson.

I got to interview Laura 63 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I learned that she's absolutely hilarious. 64 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: I also learned she's very humble, so she won't share 65 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: these stats. But I'm going to the last thing he 66 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: told me became a phenomenon. It sold over five million 67 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: copies after it was chosen as a Reese's Book Club hit. Well, 68 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: it became a New York Times number one bestseller. And 69 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: you're breaking records again because the First Time I Saw 70 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: Him was the first sequel that Reese's Book Club chose, 71 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: which was very exciting. What made you think that this 72 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: story needed another chapter? 73 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 6: Well, I have to just start by saying that before 74 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 6: that first book even came out, I got an amazing 75 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 6: call from Reese Witherspoon and Laura Newstatter, which is a 76 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 6: call that as a writer you don't think you're going 77 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 6: to get, which is, we want to give this a 78 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 6: second life. And so from day one it has been 79 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 6: a pretty unbelievable experience. What's funny is I worked on 80 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 6: the first book for ten years, on and off, so 81 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 6: I kept putting it down. I wrote two other novels 82 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 6: in the pre but I couldn't let it go. And 83 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 6: the very first ending of the last Thing he told 84 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 6: me the first last chapter I wrote, was actually the 85 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 6: last chapter of the First Time I Saw Him. So 86 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 6: I think I was writing two books all along. I 87 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 6: just wasn't aware of it. When this whole journey began. 88 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: I just didn't know it. Reese, you read more books 89 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: than anybody I know, I think more than anybody. Anybody knows. 90 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: When you read the last thing, he told me, what 91 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: about it said to you, I want to bring this 92 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: to the screen. 93 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 4: I think it's just the relatability of Hannah's character. The 94 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: minute I picked it up and started getting into it, 95 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 4: I immediately thought I could be this person, and this could 96 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 4: happen to me. 97 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: This could happen to any of us, And it's that 98 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: kind of. 99 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 4: Every person experience in an extraordinary situation. We all thank 100 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 4: God if something terrible happened, I would know what to do. 101 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 2: But you really thought about that so clearly. 102 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 4: So I think you just let people love Hannah first 103 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 4: in her complicated relationship with Bailey. Also, I thought, was 104 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: really the final chapter of that first novel is so 105 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 4: beautiful that. 106 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 2: You just wanted more. 107 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: You mentioned loving Hannah, Jennifer. I heard you loved Hannah 108 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: from the get go. You actually emailed Reese to sort 109 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: of pitch yourself for this role. And I know that 110 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: there are so many scripts that come across your desk. 111 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: Why could you not let Hannah go? 112 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 5: I hadn't read the script Actually, I had read the 113 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 5: book aloud to one of my kids and we kept 114 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 5: staying up way too late, just we couldn't stop reading reading, 115 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 5: and I loved it so much, and there was another 116 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 5: actress attached, and I just thought, I can never think 117 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 5: about this story again because I have an like a 118 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 5: heartache for this character. And then when that actress fell 119 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 5: out for scheduling reasons, and I heard that Reese wasn't 120 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 5: thinking that she would have time to play the role, 121 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 5: I mean, there's I entered into the conversation with a 122 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 5: lot of humility because we have been friends for twenty 123 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 5: five years and I did not want to be like, Hi, 124 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 5: can you put. 125 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 8: Me in this show? 126 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 5: But I just had to write to Reese and to 127 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 5: Zach and to Laura Newstatter is, Hello Sunshine, to everyone 128 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 5: and kind of say, I don't know why I feel 129 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 5: so compelled to do this, but I have to tell 130 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 5: you why I'm connected to Hannah, why I feel so 131 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: connected to Hannah Hall. And it really was her, you know, Laura, 132 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 5: and I always say Hannah is the grown up in 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 5: the room, and she doesn't necessarily want to be, but 134 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 5: she is. And I've had those moments that I just 135 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 5: understood that in her so deeply and how committed she 136 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 5: was to figuring out being a mom, which is such 137 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 5: a complicated thing. 138 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 8: And I've had those moments. 139 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 5: I understand that in a really deep way.

So yes, we've got a very bookish cast, 177 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 7: which is lovely. 178 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 10: Rita. 179 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: Did you have any rex that people gave you, or 180 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: any recks that you gave them? In particular, the. 181 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: Ones that I loved recently were trust by her Nandiez, 182 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 3: which was fantastic. I read Anne Patrick's Bell Canto, which 183 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: I had never read because I went on a big 184 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 3: and Patchett fas this summer. I read Ethan Frome Edith 185 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: Wharton like I had never read that either. I mean, 186 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: there's just it's endless. A lot, there's a lot of 187 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 3: there's a lot of books. 188 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: In our house. 189 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: We say booky book books rule because my granddaughter said 190 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: it once. 191 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: No, you can make it into a meme too, rid it? Laura, 192 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: you had this totally surreal experience as an author. Season 193 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: two of the last thing he told me was filming 194 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: at the same time that you were writing the sequel novel. 195 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: The first time I saw him, I've never interviewed anybody 196 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: who has done that. What elements did you feel were 197 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: so important to stay the same between the book and 198 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: the show. 199 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 6: Well, you know, when I was working the book and 200 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 6: started with three words over my desk, and they were redemption, salvation, 201 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 6: and forgiveness. And I knew that everything in the book 202 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 6: was moving toward this idea of what are we willing 203 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 6: to do to be forgiving? And which is a very 204 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 6: different thing than do you believe in forgiveness? 205 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: Do you not? What are you? 206 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 6: What is the effort say about how we love people 207 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 6: and what we need to do to get to a 208 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 6: better place. And so I sat down with the showrunners, 209 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 6: one of whom I'm married to, and said, this is 210 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 6: where the book is going These are the first hundred pages. 211 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 6: These are sort of my bright lines of what's really 212 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 6: really important. 213 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: It was a real exercise and trust. 214 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 6: And one of the reasons that I felt so comfortable 215 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 6: is the people sitting on this stage all care so 216 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 6: deeply about these characters, and they all are bringing something new. 217 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 6: And the thing is that I think you can get 218 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 6: to those words, to those ideas in a variety of 219 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 6: different ways. But these beautiful things started to happen when 220 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 6: I finished the book, and then I got to start 221 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 6: reading the scripts and see everything. They were still on 222 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 6: episode six or seven, they were writing those at that moment. 223 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 6: And a line that I wrote in the book about 224 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 6: what a woman and is willing to do to protect 225 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 6: her family, someone had written a line of dialogue that 226 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 6: Quinn says that like matched it, and we hadn't even 227 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 6: shared that yet. So there were these like sort of spellbinding, 228 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 6: incredible moments. 229 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: And Gari, did you think about forgiveness in this season 230 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: because Bailey is a very different person? 231 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, she is. 232 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 7: It's I mean, it's five years later, and so they've 233 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 7: really Hannah and Bailey have worked so hard to become 234 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,479 Speaker 7: a team and a family, and those years from sixteen 235 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 7: to twenty one, So much happens in that time, and 236 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 7: to have one missing parent in that time I think 237 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 7: would have really been felt by Bailey. I think when 238 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 7: that family dynamic of one parent and one child suddenly 239 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 7: becomes a trio, as it did in season one with 240 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 7: Hannah coming in, that changes everything. And then in season 241 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 7: two that dynamic changes again. And I think I was 242 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 7: thinking a lot about forgiveness and and letting go, and 243 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 7: I think something Bailey struggles with in this season is 244 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 7: that she's surrounded by grown ups who have been unable 245 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 7: to forgive, and they're still holding on to old grudges 246 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 7: and old wounds and they cannot let that go. And 247 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 7: Bailey has to really think about, Okay, what is the 248 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 7: cost of that. It's affecting her life. She wasn't there 249 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 7: for any of this and it's changed everything for her. 250 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 7: So what is she going to do to try, and 251 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 7: I don't know, help the grown ups around her kind 252 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 7: of break that cycle. 253 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, that was so well said. I think everyone on 254 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: stage was like, yeah, okay, So part of this season 255 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: was filmed in Paris, and I know that the fictional 256 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: reason is a bit tense, but in real life that 257 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: seems so much fun. I'm wondering if you have any 258 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: Parisian memories. I see JG and JG eyeing each other 259 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: because we were all sort of looking on Instagram at 260 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: your amazing fotos together. Can I start with you, Judy? 261 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: Do you have any Parisian memories you loved? 262 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 9: Yes, we had so much fun. We had so much 263 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 9: fun on our one day off, but also at lunch, 264 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 9: we would sneak away, go to lunch, have an omelet 265 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 9: go back to set. It's very civilized. It was kind 266 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 9: of magical just being there and be there with my friend, Like, 267 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 9: when would we ever get to take a vacation like that? 268 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 9: Holy buckets. It was so fun. Yeah, I have a 269 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 9: million memories. I'm not going to keep talking, but it 270 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 9: was so fun. We got to do some very dramatic 271 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 9: scenes and acting. Yeah, we also acted there. 272 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 8: We acted so hard in Paris. 273 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 9: You guys are gonna die when you see how much 274 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 9: we acted. 275 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 6: I can say this because I wasn't responsible for it 276 00:14:59,160 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 6: in any way. 277 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: When you see. 278 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 6: Them acting in Paris. In episode eight, so everyone stick 279 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 6: around for episode eight. There is two scenes that are 280 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 6: just gonna If they don't blow your socks. 281 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: Off, they will blow your socks off? 282 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: How was it for you, guys? Because you're such good 283 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: friends and all this history in real life, but your 284 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: characters are actually they have a lot of friction in 285 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: the show. 286 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 8: What's that like, We're never gonna play friends? No, No, 287 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 8: nobody wants to see that. Yes we do. 288 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: There were there were times where we had to be 289 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 5: separated because we would giggle. And then when we really 290 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 5: when things really got serious and our little Bailey was 291 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 5: at stake, all bets were off, we just we didn't 292 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 5: look at each other, we didn't deal with each other, 293 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 5: and then. 294 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, we had to be separated sometimes sometimes because we 295 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 9: were being awful and we weren't paying attention and we 296 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 9: were goofing, and sometimes because we just really needed to 297 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 9: like focus. 298 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 10: I can fully see the dynamics. 299 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 9: I guess it're all just coming to life for you. 300 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: I'm surprised the show even got mede. When I interviewed 301 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: Laura a few weeks ago, I learned that you love quotes, 302 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: and that's something that we share, and so usually every 303 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: week I ask our guests to share something that they've bookmarked, 304 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: and it can be a fun quote or something that 305 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: they've saved on social media. But this week, because of 306 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: your love of quotes, I'd love for everybody to share 307 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: a quote that they've bookmarked this week. And if it's 308 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: not this week, it could be maybe something that you 309 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: live by, something that sticks with you. Because she's laughing, 310 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: I'll start with you, Rita. 311 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: Okay, Okay. 312 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: There's a quote that I had on my bulletin board 313 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 3: for a really long time and it's from the sculptor Michelangelo. 314 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: And someone had asked him, how do you make these beauty, full, 315 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 3: beautiful sculptures? And he's from these massive blocks of marble, 316 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 3: and he said, I see the angel in the marble, 317 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 3: and I carve until I set him free. And for me, 318 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 3: that is a metaphor of what it's like to be 319 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 3: a woman. We start at a very young age and 320 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 3: we then develop these other identities that are either imposed 321 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 3: on us or we think we have to choose, and 322 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: at a certain point in your life, hopefully it starts 323 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 3: to shift and you start carving away and shipping away 324 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 3: at the things that are extraneous, that don't matter, so 325 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 3: that you can arrive at the essence of who you are. 326 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: That was so beautiful. 327 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: Thank you, Deep thoughts, Deep Thoughts. 328 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: Judy not going next?

I think my 332 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 7: mom gave it to me on a postcod. That's something 333 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 7: like try again, fail again, fail better. It's something like 334 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 7: that about like it actually doesn't. 335 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: Matter if you fail and fail again. 336 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 7: You're You're just gonna keep failing and you'll fail better 337 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 7: and you'll get better at not being good at something, 338 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 7: which I think is which, Yeah, there's value that. 339 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: Its value to fail in order to get Yes. 340 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 7: Yes, So I kind of like that. And I had 341 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 7: that postcard up in my in my bedroom. 342 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: I like that too. We're also scared of failure and 343 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: it kind of takes that away. 344 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's we're all going to fail all the time, 345 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 7: and then sometimes we succeed and that's great too. 346 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: Judy, can I popcorn back? I? 347 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 9: Uh, I don't remember an exact quote, but I was 348 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 9: at a memorial recently for Don Mischer. I don't know 349 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 9: if any of you know him. 350 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 8: He was such a wonderful. 351 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 9: Man and and I'm thinking about him a lot with 352 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 9: the Olympics on because he often produced Olympics opening ceremonies 353 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 9: and things like that, and and he in his memorial 354 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 9: there was a quote but I can't remember it exactly, 355 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 9: but it's about seeing the wonder and everything and and 356 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 9: and so I have that written on a post it 357 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 9: note above my desk, but I can't remember the exact quote, 358 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 9: but that I think of a lot, because you want 359 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 9: to see like the the special in the Kotidian, you know, 360 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 9: And that's kind of what we do, is we take 361 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 9: the every day and make it come alive. So that's 362 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 9: so something about seeing the wonder. So it's not really 363 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 9: a quote at all. Sorry, it's okay. 364 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 10: It was still an idea. 365 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: And also I know that you read so much because 366 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: you've just said the word quotidian, so thank you for that. 367 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 8: I also love Pan Kotidian the restaurant. 368 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 9: And there's one in my neighborhood, so. 369 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 8: Not taking credit for that big word. 370 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 2: And it's also French. 371 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 4: And you went to Paris for the show and you 372 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 4: were like. 373 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: Pan quotean city play. 374 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 10: Lauric, may I go to you? 375 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 6: Well, I have two because the first one's not from 376 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 6: a book, which feels sacrileged to like not be quoting 377 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 6: from a book but Adam Grant talked about Lindsay Vaughan's 378 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 6: fall and he said something which I thought, well, first, 379 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 6: told everyone to shut up, which I appreciated if they 380 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 6: had a note about her choosing to take a risk 381 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 6: and be brave. But the last sentence of what he 382 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 6: wrote was success is about the distance from the start 383 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 6: that you're willing to go. And that really stuck with me. 384 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 6: It's not about the result, it's about the distance to 385 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 6: the distance to the start. 386 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: So that was something. And then Jennifer here knows. 387 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 6: I reread Heartburn by Nora Ephron far too often. It's 388 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 6: my cozy book, even though it's about the end of 389 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 6: a marriage. And if you on a really great listen, 390 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 6: Meryl Streep does the audio book of it, so that's 391 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 6: pretty special too. On the idea of starting, uh, I 392 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 6: just got to the end of this read and one 393 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 6: of the things she says in the second to last 394 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 6: chapter when she's getting to a point of forgiveness, is 395 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 6: and she can't really get to anything wonderful yet, but 396 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 6: she's able to remember something that was magical between them, 397 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 6: and then she says, and this feels like the moment 398 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 6: where we start. 399 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: And I thought that was lovely. 400 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: That is lovely, Thank you for that. 401 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 5: I only have things my mom says in my mind, 402 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 5: like weeping may last through the night, but joy comes 403 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 5: in the morning. Or happiness is your own responsibility, or 404 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: don't marry a man thinking you can change him. 405 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 8: So those are those are Pat garnerisms. They come from 406 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 8: the Bible or you know ma. 407 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: Ingles, but. 408 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, same difference. They're all kind of mixed into one. 409 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 5: Pat Garner Bible ma Ingles truly. 410 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: Wise words for you stand a quote. 411 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 4: You know what I read something this year I thought 412 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 4: was great at this author Percival Everett who read this 413 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 4: book James. He won the Booker Prize. It was last year, 414 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 4: but this quote really stuck with me, and it's, you know, 415 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 4: apropos of being in a room talking about books. He said, 416 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 4: the most subversive thing you can do nowadays is being 417 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: a book club. 418 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: And to me, that means. 419 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 4: Let's read books, let's discuss ideas. 420 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: We need to. 421 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 4: Stop listening to people's opinions and actually form our own 422 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 4: opinions and create community with each other where we're socializing ideas. 423 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 4: So every person in here who is an influencer, who 424 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 4: deals with books and reads voraciously You're part of the revolution. 425 00:22:48,480 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: Ooh, I love that. That got me excited. Yeah, so Jennifer. 426 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: In the second season and in the second book, we 427 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: reunite with Hannah five years later. As Andngari said, and 428 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: at the end of season one, you are in survival mode. 429 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: Where is Hannah season two? 430 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 5: At the end of season one, there was no season two. 431 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 5: So shout out to Laura Newstatter and Ellison Shining to 432 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 5: Reach for calling Laura Dave and saying we may need 433 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 5: another book here, and to Laura for realizing that actually, yes, 434 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 5: the story did continue and there there was a there 435 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 5: was a ways to go in those five years. Hannah 436 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 5: wanted Bailey to grow up and have her space, to 437 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 5: become a young adult and go to college and feel safe. 438 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: So Hannah has tried to put a bubble around her 439 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 5: daughter while also preparing for the inevitable danger that was 440 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 5: that would follow them. 441 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 8: And as the first episode. 442 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 5: Takes off, which is the only way to think of it, 443 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 5: kind of a blast off. You see Hannah like, you know, 444 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 5: this idea of competency, competency porn, like somebody who's so 445 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 5: good at what they do. She's this, I'm Mary Howard, 446 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 5: She's a step ahead of every single thing that could 447 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 5: possibly be happening, and she has it all planned out 448 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: and is like the locks are falling into place. Boom, Okay, 449 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 5: if this happens, then this has got to happen. Then 450 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 5: this has got to happen, and then this, and it's 451 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 5: so it was so satisfying to read, to shoot, to play, 452 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 5: to watch, I love, love, love Hannah's brain, and then 453 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 5: danger catches up with them. 454 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: And it gets really exciting at that point. 455 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, and they're a team at this point, as at 456 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 5: Gowerie said, they've become a family, They've become a team, 457 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 5: and it only gets screwed up when you know when 458 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 5: Daddy comes back into the picture. 459 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: Do you feel that teamwork? Do you feel the shift 460 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: in your character here? 461 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 11: Oh? 462 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 7: Absolutely. I mean it's so great because I think both 463 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 7: Hannah and Bailey have committed to their relationship. And there 464 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 7: are moments in season two where they disagree and they 465 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 7: have a different idea about how to kind of solve 466 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 7: the next problem or go about the next adventure. But 467 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 7: their conversations are not arguments anymore. They're listening to each other. 468 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 7: They're having a discussion, and they know that they love 469 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 7: each other no matter what, and they're in it together. 470 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 7: So I loved I loved getting to play that, and 471 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 7: also that they're a stepmother and a step daughter and 472 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 7: that's kind of they've chosen each other as family as well. 473 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 7: And Bailey is on a mission to discover more about 474 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 7: her biological mother as well. But that is that's a 475 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 7: journey that Hannah has like respects, and she gives her 476 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 7: the space to kind of explore that. 477 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 8: So it's just great. 478 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 7: Seeing a mature relationship and a healthy one too. I 479 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 7: have a great relationship with my mom, and so getting 480 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 7: to play a really good mother daughter relationship is kind 481 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 7: of it's kind of a relief in a way. It 482 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 7: feels normal and natural. 483 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: I didn't realize until you just said that about the choosing. 484 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: That's part of what makes the relationship so exciting to watch. 485 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: I think, to see you two come together, it's a choice. Judy, 486 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: it is so fun to see your character in this show. 487 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: I've never really seen you play this type.

And 505 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 9: I think it's also fun to play someone who's battling with, 506 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 9: you know, to opposing ideas in her head, like protecting 507 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 9: her family, wanting to connect with Bailey, wanting Hannah to 508 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 9: just go away. 509 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: Rita, your character is new to season two. You play 510 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: Carol excuse me, which is Hannah's mom. What excited you about. 511 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: Carol, Well, it was a character who made choices when 512 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 3: she was a young woman to. 513 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 2: Can I say all this okay? To give up her daughter? 514 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 3: And I was eager to explore that and also that 515 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 3: there wasn't a that the Carol character understood that there 516 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 3: may not be reconciliation and that she couldn't claim anything 517 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 3: to that reconciliation. But I think she had a reason 518 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 3: for doing it, which people can judge or not judge. 519 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 3: But I think if it's a matter of life or death, 520 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: you probably will choose life, even if the choice to 521 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 3: do that might be very expensive in what you give up, 522 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 3: what is it like. 523 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: To prepare for a role that sort of doesn't exist 524 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: in the book. 525 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 3: You trust the writer, You trust the amazing producers that 526 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 3: you have, And it was those discussions with Laura and 527 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 3: with Josh Singer and Jennifer that we were able to 528 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: understand her in a more realistic way. 529 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Reese, people so often talk about feeling seen by 530 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: the material that you champion and bring to life. I 531 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: see it on award show stages. I hear about it 532 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: all the time. When you were reading a book, are 533 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: there three things you could point to that say, yeah, 534 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: this is going to translate to screen really well? 535 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 4: I think the main thing, the main other than being 536 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 4: written by a woman, Because I felt like when I 537 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 4: started the company it was really important to champion female authors. 538 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 4: Also that a woman at the center of it is 539 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 4: the hero of her own story, because I truly believe 540 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 4: women save themselves every single day. 541 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: And we need to see more of that on film. 542 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 4: But the most important metric for me is do I 543 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 4: want to share this book with somebody? Because sometimes you 544 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 4: read a book and it makes you seem smarty pants 545 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 4: at a dinner party, but you don't necessarily want to 546 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 4: share it. 547 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: So I think that's a really important part of it. 548 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 4: And that's what creates community, and that's sort of the 549 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 4: main thesis of our book club and why we started 550 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 4: it was just to connect people together. 551 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: I was so not expecting that that's a very cool 552 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: way of looking at it. It seems like it would 553 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: be so much more complicated, and you're saying, no, I 554 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: just yeh, that's pretty easy. 555 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 8: It's pretty simple. 556 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 10: It's like, oh, I love this book. 557 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: I want to share with somebody. 558 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,239 Speaker 8: I read one last night. 559 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I can't wait to talk about 560 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: this with somebody. 561 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 4: And there's so few things that you get to connect 562 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 4: over now because things are streaming and you don't know 563 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 4: when they're watching it, and there's not like you know, 564 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 4: must see TV on one night of the week. So 565 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 4: books can be like that, especially if you have a 566 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: monthly cadence where you get together with a group of people. 567 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: It's really nice. There's so much history and so many 568 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: connections on this stage that doesn't always happen. I'm really curious, 569 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: from an after producer perspective, what goes right when you 570 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: have this shorthand with people. I've never been on a set, 571 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: so if you could like bring me in and just 572 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: sort of explain it, I would love to understand. 573 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 2: I'll come to set anytime you want to. 574 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 1: Danielle, thank you read you need to come. It's magical 575 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: to be on a. 576 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 10: Set, you know. 577 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 2: I mean. 578 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 5: I've been sitting up here reflecting on the very specific, 579 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 5: very intimate relationships I have with all of the women 580 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 5: up here and you, including you, and they are very 581 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 5: Each one of these women play a role in my 582 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 5: life outside of this particular show, and there's a depth that. 583 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 8: Comes in, an. 584 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 5: Ease and a knowing and a fun mischief that comes 585 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 5: in when when you know someone and you get to 586 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 5: do a scene with them. 587 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: I love that word mischief. 588 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 6: I really see that between you two Jage, something that 589 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 6: happened that I just also think speaks to the magic 590 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 6: of the woman playing Hannah Hall. Here is my very 591 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 6: first day on set, because everyone up here has been 592 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 6: on set a lot more than me. But my very 593 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 6: first day of season one on set, I was late 594 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 6: because I was me, and so I got confused and 595 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 6: a little lost, and so I drove onto set past 596 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 6: two police officers who I thought were real police officers. 597 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: I waived at them. They were extras, which. 598 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 6: I was about to find out because the very first 599 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 6: thing I did was drive into the scene that Jennifer 600 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 6: was shooting. Now, another actress might have reacted badly. Jennifer 601 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 6: very kindly turned to me and said, you're gonna want 602 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 6: to park over there. And that is who she is, 603 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 6: and that is no one would be grumpy with you. 604 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 5: I don't know a single actress who would get grumpy 605 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 5: with you. 606 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 2: That's who she is, always always. 607 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: That is so funny, you, Alura. 608 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 6: We actually have it on TA Can you please release 609 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,719 Speaker 6: that on social media for us? 610 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 8: She was like Hi, Hi, and we're like, okay, hang on. 611 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 8: No one overreacts. Don't scare her. She's an author. 612 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 10: I can speak for myself. 613 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: I feel like with mother daughter relationships, if I'm very 614 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: honest about my mom. I feel like it's a betrayal, 615 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: and if I withhold, it feels like it's incomplete. And 616 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: that is something that this show I think portrays so 617 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: very uniquely, the good and the bad, the soft and 618 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: the hard, and Gary, I know you're so close with 619 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: your mom. I got to interview the two of you together. 620 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: Did this show in any way change your relationship with 621 00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 1: her or the way you even think about her? 622 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 7: I don't know if it changed my relationship specifically with 623 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 7: my mom. But something an interesting parallel is that while 624 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 7: filming season two, you know, Bailey is going on this 625 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,760 Speaker 7: journey to discover more about her mother, and she's asking 626 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 7: people about her mother, And while filming season two, I 627 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 7: decided to interview some of my own family members about 628 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 7: my two grandmothers because I never knew them, and so 629 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:50,280 Speaker 7: I kind of was going on this parallel journey with Bailey. 630 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 7: And it's very interesting, and I think this is reflected 631 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 7: in the show as well, that there's quite a kind 632 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,919 Speaker 7: of skirting around talking about people who are no longer 633 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 7: here with us and how do we want to represent 634 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 7: those people? And Bailey is trying to kind of create 635 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 7: this collage of her mother and who she thought she was, 636 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 7: and she's hearing lots of different things and piecing that 637 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 7: together and trying to find the truth of who her 638 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 7: mother was is a challenge for her because everybody has 639 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 7: a different idea, so that I think playing this character 640 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 7: inspired me to kind of, yeah, go on this journey 641 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 7: in my personal life as well. And I just love 642 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 7: that we see that with Bailey, that her kind of 643 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 7: investigation into who her mother was doesn't negate her relationship 644 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 7: with Hannah, it doesn't negate her relationship with her father 645 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 7: or her grandfather. It's like they all exist at the 646 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 7: same time, which I love. 647 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: Jane and Laura, we have so many eagle eyed readers 648 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 1: and viewers here so close to the material. Is there 649 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 1: anything that we should all be looking out for as 650 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: season two approaches?
