I have not watched anything me neither for 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.119 a really long time. And then once I found out 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.520 that we were going to do this together, I really didn't. 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:31.839 I was like, well, now I'm really not watching because 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:36.640 I want every episode of our podcast to be fresh 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.520 with new eyes, and yours are going to be virginized. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.520 Yeah, virginize over here, look out, look out. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.760 So if you have not ever watched Desperate Housewives, I 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:47.600 think now is the time. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.880 Yeah, I mean you're not.

Yeah, 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.520 I would have been fired from motherhood, true, yeah, true. 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.280 Yeah, No, I mean honestly, I think, asides from trailers 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.080 and things, I watched the pilot during COVID when a 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.840 lot of my friends, all my friends who I went 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.760 to college with, because by the time I went to college, 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.080 you know, Despert Housewives was not had not been on 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.480 the air for a minute, and all of my friends 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.880 in twenty twenty started texting me. We were all in 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.560 our respective pods across the country, and they started texting 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.960 me being like, wait, is your mom the one who's 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.240 Susan on Despert Housewives? And everyone had started watching it. 0:02:32.240 --> 0:02:33.359 I think it had it come out on. 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:36.080 Hulu, maybe Netflix, maybe it was the time, And. 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.360 So I said, okay, let me get in on all 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:38.799 this Despert Housewives stuff. 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.040 In case you do want to. I think now it's 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.400 it's so many places on Hulu. I think it's on 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.800 Prime Oh really yeah, and I think it's on Disney Plus. 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.799 It is like somebody was just saying. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:53.000 Before before we started this, that Westerriot Lane was like 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.800 the place to be. It was the it was you know, 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.240 everybody wanted to take the tram ride and all of that. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.600 And then I heard a story not that long ago. 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.760 A comedian friend of mine was telling me that back 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.000 in the day, she was a guide on the on 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.200 the tram ride and one time she was a guide 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.799 on with Syria Lane and she looked over and some 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:18.400 guy was pleasuring himself on the tram as he drove by. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.840 I loved he really loved it. 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.120 I didn't know those houses don't even have the bedrooms 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:22.400 in them. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.720 No, and he didn't need a bedroom. He was using 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.760 the tram. Can you imagine. Oh my gosh. So it 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:28.359 comes up. 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.040 It comes up all the time, I find. I was 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.880 in Corsica last summer, which, by the way, if you've 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.640 never been to Corsca, everybody go to bride and for 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:39.680 all our French fans, which I know we have a 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.120 lot of, uh, that is one of my. 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.280 Favorite places in the world. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.600 Anyways, I was, well, you know, when you get on vacation, 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:48.480 and if you're in an airbnb, you go to the 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.120 first thing you do is go to the grocery store 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.280 and buy all your stuff. So I was at the 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.960 grocery store and I was in the checkout line, and 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.680 this young girl, probably younger than you, probably like what 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.320 the friends you were talking about, you know, twenty three, 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.880 just literally paralyzed when she looked up and saw me 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.560 and and said that she was just watching the show 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.360 for the first time. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:10.120 And so it does keep coming up. 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.520 Yeah, people are rediscovering it for sure, and that's so cool. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.440 I think that's the amazing thing about and why I'm 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.559 so excited to watch it now. Like, as a writer 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.599 and a filmmaker, I think there's something about intersecting multi 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:25.840 generational narratives of women that is just It's universal, and 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:28.320 it was back in the early two thousands. And honestly, 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.800 I mean when you look at fashion now, I feel 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.400 like the early two thousands are coming back. Were watching 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.520 is coming back? I know Lowra's jeans. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.080 Oh my god, us all we're well timed. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.440 Okay, but that's that feels like a good jumping off 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.200 point because people, well people think they know me, and 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.240 I'm actually kind of looking forward to what I get 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.840 to reveal about myself and what. 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:49.800 You guys actually are. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.560 Okay, who do you think I actually am? 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.240 Oh my goodness, Well you are many things. You are 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.000 certainly a woman of multitudes.

I felt so fortunate being cast on 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.560 a show as a thirteen year old girl. To be 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:25.960 on a show with a bunch of strong women leading 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.760 it at that time was so incredible and unique. But 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:29.680 the fact that I got. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:31.760 To be yours, that I got to be your daughter. 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.679 Has meant the world to me.

That's just a really 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.640 nice thing. I mean, I think that's another thing, like 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:02.240 people are looking. I think there's something so comforting about nostalgia. Yeah, 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.240 just in general and and and feeling getting to feel 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.360 comforted and entertained and inspired.

And since then, obviously a lot 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:05.800 has happened since mysterially and ended. I went off, I 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:09.000 went to Brown, I went to college. I graduated those 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:09.920 five years ago. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:11.320 Wow. 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.920 And I'm still behind the camera, but as a screenwriter 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.640 and a director capacity. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:19.360 And I'm very proud. 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:23.400 She's like she's got you can't talk I know specifically 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:24.280 about the big thing. 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:30.480 I know the podcast, people that you work with and. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.160 For Yes, at some point during the podcast, I am. 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:34.839 I am working on a feature right now that I'm 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.679 writing that. As much as I can say at this 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.520 moment is it's with a very claimed filmmaker who I 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.520 have admired their work for a really long time, so 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.600 I am looking forward to being able to announce that publicly. 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.320 I directed an animated short film that I wrote and 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.440 directed that just premiered this March, and I work a 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.240 lot between animation and live action, mainly on the feature side. 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.640 But I'm especially interested about this podcast because I do 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:03.600 think the intersecting narratives, how much story was covered in 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.680 the eight incredible seasons of the show through so many 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:07.599 different characters. 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.240 I think as a writer, it'll be really interesting to 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.800 see your lens as a as a writer too, because 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:19.200 I remember Mark Cherry talking about how complicated it was 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:27.160 to interweave for different characters storylines. Yeah, and honestly serve 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:31.880 serve those characters, you know, independently, but then also you're 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.440 you're weaving in this mystery and you're broader story. 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:35.960 Yeah. 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:38.240 I mean, you watch a lot of shows where like 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.960 one person is the star and you think like, oh, 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.520 you know, well, we'll just service that character or whatever. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.120 But that's not what you had here. You had lots 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.040 of stars and lots of characters, and they all had 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.560 to be served in a different way, and it was 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:51.320 really complicated. 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:52.439 I'm sure for the writers. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.360 I think it's also probably why it spoke to so 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.280 many different types of women, because there are so not 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.720 one way to have a female experience in the world. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.640 I'm really excited to watch it because you know, it's 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.160 one thing to interpret these storylines and watch these women 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.760 when you're thirteen, you know, and fourteen and fifteen on, 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.240 and it's different now being thirty five. I'm going to 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.200 relate to your guys's characters in a totally different way. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.720 You know, I didn't relate to being married. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.080 I didn't relate to you know, motherhood or you know, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:21.800 sex or any of it in that way. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:21.960 Ye. 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:24.640 It would be so fascinating to me to revisit it 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.840 now through the lens I have now and see how 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.040 it lands and I yeah, and also just like get 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.719 the jokes that probably went over my head the first time. 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:35.040 So that'll be fun too. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:44.400 Yeah, We're all going to be getting the jokes, ye hopefully. 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:51.600 Okay, So since our show is called desperately devoted, yes, 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:52.160 I love that. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.600 I just do you guys have. 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.720 Do you have something that you feel desperately devoted to? 0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:04.080 My laptop?

That's the No, she doesn't. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.960 Honestly, such a little I hate to say it. I'm 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.319 bursting the Instagram bubble right now. This cat does not 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.960 want anything to do with anyone. You come in and 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:32.959 she looks at you, and she's like. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:42.240 She photographs, and she's so soft, she's like a bunny. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.839 It's the thing is when you have that sort of 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.920 aloofness in a pet and then they do dane to 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.880 crawl on your chest and give you five minutes of 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.599 your of their time to pet them, You're just ecstatic. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:01.640 She's the suitors of carrys are like taking notes. 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:03.280 This is how Harry receives. 0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:07.599 Them a new definition of whipped. I am literally yeah 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:10.160 to my cat. No, okay, so I am. It's it 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.920 was a fairly obvious choice. I'm desperately devoted to my cat. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:14.880 Uh. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.040 You know, when I leave for like an airplane trip, 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.800 I just I go through the pangs the house. 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:22.360 I'm watching the cat. 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:22.840 You know. 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:24.840 Yeah, she has a very specific food routine. 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.320 But in I guess in a more serious way, I 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.560 mean honestly, maybe this is something that will come up. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.479 I am an only child. My parents are both ninety. 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.480 My dad is in this sort of moderate stage of 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:41.240 dementia where his short term memory is fairly gone. My 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:47.360 mom is stubbornly resistant to her loss of independence, and 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:55.320 that makes some of her choices not great. And so 0:14:55.520 --> 0:15:01.200 I really am devoted to a balance that I have 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.600 of my what I feel is my obligation to taking 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:07.440 care of my family. And also I'm still having an 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.320 acting career and still trying to be a creator. And 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.640 also I'm devoted to helping people. You know, I have 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:20.360 found that this community of caregivers it's rough and there 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.520 is not a lot of support system. And so I 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.640 started this little thing on my Instagram called Sandwiched, where 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.240 I you know, because I went to the Court on 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.640 Blue cooking. 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.920 School after Desperate Housewives. Actually that was the first thing 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:32.200 I did. 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:37.040 After a few times I did Win Shopped and Great 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.080 Bridge Bakeoff. See all things getting revealed about me that 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:41.080 people maybe don't. 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.640 Know people behind the curtain, and I've. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.840 Always shown people I love them through food. So doing 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.400 these sandwich videos where I'm making sort of gourmet versions 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:57.080 of sandwiches and talking about how I find some version 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.000 of self care for myself and offering that to my audience. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.600 That's something I feel devoted to, right. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.120 I think that's a really interesting point in relation to 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.280 Susan on Desperate Housewives and how you are so not 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.880 like her, especially in this one the kitchen. In the kitchen, 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.880 she was such a bad Yeah. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:18.360 Notoria is a prolific part of the show. 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:19.320 I'm bad of a cook. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:19.400 You. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:19.720 Yeah. 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.240 I haven't even watched the show, and I feel like 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:22.640 we used to be out when I was a little kid, 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:23.920 and people would come up to you and go, oh 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:25.640 my god. I totally relate. I also, I am a 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:29.120 horrible cook, and I would watch my mom be like yeah, yeah, 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.920 because he's actually hosting Christmas, Eve and Thanksgiving and cooking 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:35.800 for forty five people. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.320 Yeah, And like I said, you know, I am a 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.520 good started cooking when I was eleven years old. My 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.800 parents used to pay me a quarter a day to 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.320 cook dinner. To cook dinner, I started. I made I 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.320 made duck all a range when I was eleven, Like, 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:53.240 because I was a latchkey kid, I was just home 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.000 by myself. Both my parents worked and but wait, I 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:01.200 on my Instagram. Even still, people will say about my 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.000 videos They'll be they'll say, but Susan doesn't cook. And 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:10.480 it is a really interesting thing how people think that 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:14.600 you're the character. And there are definitely parts. I mean, 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:19.920 Susan was single, and Susan was a single mom, and 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.720 you have a very close bond, yeah, but super close bond. 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.960 And and and I think Susan was desperate for love. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.240 I don't know that I was desperate for love. I 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.879 haven't been dating at all for many, many, many years. 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:39.480 But I think there was a while, definitely the years 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.240 while we were shooting the show, where like I would 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:44.600 have maybe tried to think I was going to get 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.439 in a relationship again. I think that part of my 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.680 life just feels like it's gone. Now that's not true, 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.280 that's gone. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:52.919 You just are like, I'm at peace. If it doesn't 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:53.560 go that way. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:54.440 Well, I'm totally at peace. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:59.040 I'm not at all desperate to find Yeah, but I 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.919 think Susan was for sure, and there were you know, 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:07.119 I always think of our Susan and Ma's connection was 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:12.120 over vulnerability. I think we both were impaths. I think 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.200 we both wore our emotions on our sleeves for good 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:21.359 and for bad. And I think that's where the connection 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.120 sort of stopped, because I was absolutely the opposite kind 0:18:25.119 --> 0:18:27.600 of mother to my actual daughter as I was to you. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:32.680 I'm sorry, I mean Susan was not the greatest. 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.760 Other fun to watch too, just because I feel like 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.040 you know, I loved our chemistry, and I loved our 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:42.480 characters so much and their bond, and I loved when 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.320 mothers and daughters would come up to me when I 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:46.359 was out and talk about how much, you know, they 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.840
