TFW 2024: Juliette Lewis QnA

it might be Sunday uh afternoon SL morning for some of you uh it might be the last day of Frightmare but we have saved some of the most badass uh for the final day ladies and gentlemen of Texas fright May weekend please give a huge Texas size welcome to Julia [Applause] Lewis I knew you wouldn't come out like a normal panel you'd come out like you were coming out on stage at one of your shows BL well that's pretty good welcome hello uh so first question how are you so [ __ ] cool just starting off with that question well the secret to being cool is allowing yourself to feel oh so uncool no I feel like I get goofier with age but um I think uh it's nice to be appreciated I I do like to die and deep creatively no matter what I'm doing and and it's neat to be appreciated yeah yeah um I'm sorry I'm just getting distracted by slap your cool factor and the ears on your head right now did someone give those someone give us yes there was one of these great vendors out here I love these conventions because there's so much creativity yeah and there's Mike Myers to the left um you know just a great audience member I saw dinosaur I don't know these two characters but it's a bloody nurse and not a Mad Max from the Moon I see I don't origin origin see that's what's great you just get like original you just made this up well that's what I'm saying that's awesome uh so I think now we all get a little bit of your coolness rubbed off on us just being in the room with you is that how it works we're all a little bit cooler for being in this room thank you for being here what Us by the way this is so so rad um you just started shooting Yellow Jacket season 3 or they did they did when are you what's going on listen I don't know what the writers will do but they could create some things but that cast is so incredible and they're shooting season 3 right now I just did two movies and um one's in a20 24 movie with John malovic Opus and that'll be out at the end of the year that has some gore Thriller Vibes and um and then this other movie with Peter Dinklage and J and James headfield from Metallica isn't it yes he's amazing he plays a cowboy and um yeah I can't give anything away I play a character called cut wrot bill I Chang my voice you know I I disappeared I hope I I hope you don't recognize me and that'll be out actually in theaters we're always shocked like oh my God it's going to be released in theaters that's called the thicket and that's coming in September which if you don't know is is also written by Joe lale who who we love hear in Texas cuz he's he's a Texas boy but he wrote Bubba hotep and we're all big janale fans here wow yeah um I read the synopsis for this movie and again don't want to give anything away but the character it just people are going to see like kind of a new crazy side of you I feel like that's right so super subtle but it was written for a male and the director was smart and Peter was smart to hire me instead and then um is is this movie um dream cool is that genre as well oh my God yes I do my resarch gu so prepared I do my research so I just finished a movie called dream quill it's scii um a little take on AI how it's taking this over and um the dark elements of that Elizabeth Banks is in it John C Riley who I worked with the Gilbert gra yeah um and it's directed by Alex prer a photographer who's just a Visionary it's her first directorial debut and Katherine Newton who's kind of like our our new scam Queen from all the horor stuff she's been in lately you got a lot of like kickass stuff coming out and it's all genre which we love to see you in that is so correct you're going to be seeing much more of me which is all we want which is all we want I I do want to go back to Yellow Jackets there's there's a sensibility about yellow jackets um you know it's just that feels so in kind of sync with your spirit even the like Vibe of your band it's this kind of '90s um kind of punk rock alternative Vibe um what was it like kind of just working on that show and how much influence you had on it cuz it feels very you well the first season was really interesting and fun because my character didn't say a lot of words and if any of you watch what I do I like behavior and um I like for people to feel whatever the character's feeling and so I spent a lot of the first season in a hotel room and so anytime you saw her I wanted you to guess what levels of toxicity she's experiencing or distress and uh so that was fun I had a lot of contribution in in that and I love my the cast and the writing was so inventive it's such a great cast it's such a great like Gathering of kind of icons of uh you know female icons that that we loved from other movies together in a way and you know of course like um Karen Kama did Jennifer's Body being so involved it just there's no show likeing it's just it's just such a rad show she did Jennifer's Body yeah yeah well you're in the room of people who did not forget you did I I want to talk about your your music uh Jo Alix you're you're starting to play again not that you ever stopped playing music but you all kind of took a little high I did we stopped yeah cuz all everybody's in other bands so like my guitar player Todd Morris is in The Offspring and they're touring all over um and so now we'll just play little uh run little like a few shows in a row or festivals actually big festivals we were fortunate to get um Louder Than Life and um after After Life After Shock Festival Sacramento and so we'll play some West Coast shows also in New York we're just putting that together but people here were reminding me they saw me in Texas at The Warp Tour yeah yeah yeah I knew it it's one of those hot sweaty shows yeah oh yeah yeah we need to work for it to come back uh is there a did I read right is there a documentary coming out about the band there was a 30 minute documentary a long time ago uh called was a hard loving woman actually I don't know if you can find it but well you can find anything on YouTube I'm sure but uh but no not recently I'm writing a movie and and I'll put my own music in it yeah it'll be one of my you know the passion Pro projects and um it'll be finished this year and so I'll try to get that set up to direct but it'll be basically my mind dumped out so it'll be a bit like psychedelic and heartbreaking and funny and um really fun and creative I'm both scared and excited at the same time um I I I've always loved when uh your music and your movies kind of intertwine um you know your cover of PJ Harvey's uh Hardly Wait in strange days is one of the just coolest like [ __ ] moments in a 9s [Applause] movie is that is that something that you kind of always hope happens just because music and acting are so kind of at the same level for you it's really strange cuz I'm at that age where you look back and you're like oh that happened and some of it is just luck of the draw you know where it's like these Cosmic forces and I just happen to be in two movies or three actually with the most epic soundtracks and that's Nash born killers Strange Days had a really great soundtrack um yeah and then wait there was one other one I'm forgetting uh someone will remind me yeah um I'll I'll let them I know what questions they're going to ask movies about I want to bring up uh way the gun which is one of my favorite movies of yours and just of all time Chris mcy who now is like you know Tom Cruz's like right-hand man in Mission Impossible was one of his early films Phio Phil uh what are your kind of memories of that movie well a lot of things early on I always was into taking a chance on Creative forces to me that's not a chance but that was Chris mcc's first directorial debut he had done Usual Suspects I'm like oh this guy's a genius duh like like but you don't understand like Studios and money people they don't always take the risk and so um of like oh can he direct movie and I just think anything he does is brilliant and creative and so that was a real fun movie plus I got to work uh share the screen with my dad for the first time where we were both in the same movie so cool it's such a killer my SE it out it's so killar um let's Che it out to to to yall uh we move the uh microphone and if you'd like to ask jul a question we'll just line up right here um and uh just did a big cre convo how's the show been for you so farun it's been the best anybody's hung out with me for 10 seconds I just feel giddy I just S I get tickled by everyone's creativity we're I play music I have a little speaker that's good to get through one day we're just so stoked through here so I appreciate it so much I actually love Texas I know there's a lot of wild wonderful parts Lov you so yeah um all right first question up hi um so I am a major fan of like all your other stuff that's not your hor stuff like Augusto Sage County with Gilbert great I was just wondering do you have a preferred genre that you like performing in do you prefer horror or com comedy dark comedy or drama what's your favorite like genre well if you notice like I always for whatever reason well I guess maybe my dad influenced me I just love characters so I love like after n Killers I did a Norah Efron comedy with Steve Martin and Adam Sandler that no one really saw called mix nut and so that's cuz I wanted to follow that intensity up with comedy I just like to do what I haven't done that's all I'm looking for and I'm more open now to horror um I think after parasite and I mean you all know more than me some of these uh that genre allows people to take real creative risks and and have bigger thoughts in in it and that's that's new to me CU I come from 80s hor which is pretty straight down the middle try to do um but nowadays it's like psychological makes you think so I'm more open to it than I have before um but I just love I love all kinds but I I do like drama I like real ISM and stuff yeah thank you yeah thanks thanks for being here I'm big fan of your dad's work too uh particular particularly on S lot his role there I was wondering if you had any memories of like if he brought you a set any any like work with particular actors or directors I have all those memories yeah anyone in particular uh like specific us so um there's a couple pictures I put on my Instagram like ages ago but I'm a little kid I'm like nine and I'm there's a cowboy a back background performer just hanging out on the beach cuz they're all these like cowboys and bloody they had fake blood and stuff and they're just relaxing and I've played with this guy's fake props the the guns and knives and so I'm pretending to shoot them and they took a picture and that was like the beginning of my world of cowboys and Indians or what have you um from my dad's set I don't even remember what movie it was but I was sort of Babys sat in the makeup trailer and so movie making was always a real safe environment for me hardworking a lot of different types of people that come to make movies but we're all in it together so what I learned from my dad too is that we were all one being the crew and and van drivers and everybody and the only thing that messed my had up a little bit was Show Business yeah not well because it's so strange and it removes you from from your other your friends Humanity um but another thing uh another me memory with Salem's lot when my dad did the vampire I remember it's such a great scene such a it's a so terrifying so also because I was scared to sleep I had a window right by my bed there's a scene I think where he elevates or like clothes remember with the contact and I was terrified and I saw my dad but that's how it transs you get transported so I quite enjoyed that my dad could create that where you go elsewhere there's a generation that gr up with that movie where your dad is like why we have nightmares oh I don't think I watched the the whole the rest I like probably blacked out oh my God yeah thanks thank hi hi hello Julet hi first off I absolutely adore you you are rather gorgeous so I have a request if you would that honor upon us you pleaseing the iconic lyric from born [Music] bad I I was born naturally born [Applause] [Music] born well good lucking that up hello how are you I'm good I have a question for upcoming actors who be you and like TV and films what's your Bigg of advice um I sometimes sometimes tell people to get involved with group with theater um putting on plays uh but but to to form a it's it's important to uh connect with the community and other people who are doing it even if it's not what you're aiming for like in commercials plays just to get used to the environment cuz when I came up we would get what's called sides it would be the scenes five minutes before we audition and so maybe have 10 minutes to look it over and so that was the first thing I learned was like how to audition basically how to commit that's the first thing you're just learning how to commit whether you believe it or know it or not how do you make you take the lines and commit to what you're doing that was the first thing I learned and uh yeah put your foot in the door I also did little plays and stuff like in summer camp when I was a kid I did dancing and singing and acting it was all together yeah thank you yeah thank you hey how's it going afternoon Lou um first huge fan of whipit because it looks like summer camp with elbow pads and shot Austin right no there were outside shots with the younger characters in Austin we got and destroyed all right yeah absolutely love you um but my question is about Strange Days yeah what was your reaction to the first time that you read the screenplay going through it because it reads like a detective novel and then coming back into it knowing that you were going to play Faith and what you're going to have to put yourself through on that screen yeah I remember that was back in the days when we did what's called screen tests so you would you they they Rush everything now so but back when we'd act some of the scenes with other uh actors and I think I worked with r then I'm not sure um but I had to liit sync to some of the PJ Harvey songs and look like a singer and at that time that's when it was all dormant at me it was like I was a I was in the closet about being a real singer and performer and so doing that job it forced me to get out of my shell and have to perform and then I didn't find myself as a performer or singer till 10 years later wow cuz it took a lot it's real close to anybody who knows does music it's usually your soul so so whereas I'm acting and playing other people when I sing sort of I'm being aspects of myself um but I forgot if that was the question my question is basically going through the screenplay twice the first time reading it like a novel and then the second time going through as the character oh yeah no I'm I was always thinking of all this stuff I had to play the most daunting thing was that we shot um the Midnight Hour the graveyard shift for a month straight and so we'd be going to work at like 9 at night and getting off work at 8:00 a.m. that was rough for a month yeah downtown downtown LA a lot what's incredible about that Harley WG sequence I just rewatched it last night is knowing that you weren't yet kind of fully formed as a stage performer you watch it and you would not know that I mean you are so you just commit everything on the stage and it's an incredible sequence of of you know kind of a live performance within a movie thank yeah I was super nervous and if any if anything else you fake it till you make it you f it well hey how's you going Hi how are you hi um I thought you're really incredible in the film California thank you underated um you have any memories of that and also I've heard this rumor forever were those real rattlesnakes and natural Killers stu oh yeah it's my favorite story to tell I got to say I walked through rattles Sak and lived um well how they so now burn Killers how they did it I'm sure they wouldn't do this now nowadays but um me and Woody were game um so it was at night it was freezing we were in New Mexico and they would put fake rattlesnakes curled up mixed with real rattlesnakes coiled and hissing maybe they weren hissing I don't know but they were and then we had to like stumble along like dra on mushrooms and and avoid the r like they were feet you know many feet apart anyway how I do my job is I try to ask questions and figure out things myself but I saw the r rattlesnake rangler earlier in the night try to get a rattlesnake to bite this fake pant leg cuz they had to shoot it close up of getting bit and the r snake wouldn't bite it and I asked the guy I was like how come it's not biting I thought they just and he's like he's cold not that he's a heat but it's cold the little Ratt like it's cold so when they're cold they don't they don't attack so on the one hand yeah I'm super tough cuz I walked around on the other hand I knew they they stay coil coiled up however the camera guy who's like no I'm out I'm not doing it and they had to get camera guy B who like I think he went to war Liv through Vietnam or something game like sure cuz he had to walk backwards through like there's some wild wild folks on natural killer I cherish it CU we did so many interesting things so many different locations and then the other thing California that was real fun I remember driving through Death Valley with Brad Pit um playing the song Finally you know the song Finally Happ yeah I was into that [Music] song I I don't know if he enjoyed it he tolerated it but I turned it up we drove through Death Valley praying not to run out of gas um and then we made it to the next location yeah did he stay care the whole time with that did he what did he stay care the whole time with that first he did not wash his hair for a month that was the thing he was staying in early Zone he said it was Loosely based by some characters he knew in Missouri thanks hey how's it going how you doing I'm wondering I see you in a lot of movies have there ever been uh any movie roles you rejected or do you accept every movie Ro you see oh no I don't accept everything but uh there's movies I've been up for and they I didn't get it for instance this is just a little trivia you wouldn't all know but I auditioned for um um Beetle [Music] Juice went and I got it I I think we all assumed you were talking about you audition for Beetle Juice which is based on your pants and your personality based on your pants and your personality I think we all need to see Juliet Le play not lyia Beetle Juice yeah 100% maybe they do a TV version that's Beetle ju need a female Beetle Juice I agree oh my God you made some good stuff I hope that this happens now yeah put on the spot she's not audition oh do the voice but yeah and then another one was um Leo Mr DiCaprio uh when he did Romeo Juliet he doesn't remember this but I swear it happened he he's like Hey Juliet um there's this remake of a Shakespeare thing and I was like what a modern take on Shakespeare it sounds awful so I lost that nobody knows that story were you going to play Juliet well I didn't have the role but he mentioned it and had I not been snotty or I'll tell snot usually comes when you're intimidated I was terrified to touch Shakespeare and um anyway so I never auditioned for it so I can't like I had it and lost it was an idiot thank you thank you hi so kind of picking back off of the gun I went earlier I absolutely love you as iron Maven in whip it I love the lace of tops the sick ass bangs and just the cool portrayal of strong cool women yeah and I just wanted to ask what was the hardest physical role that you Tak that was pretty um difficult I played a a roller derby girl most women are badass uh to the core um because they can take hits and fall and wall in motion and the funny thing about being an actor is you just sort of fake again fake it so you make it so when Drew barar was casting and the first question is hey do you roller skate I was like oh yeah every weekend always on skates I think I hadn't skated since I was 11 so you you just lie and you figur it out and so they auditioned everybody on the track they just wanted to see your moves and and um and they had roller JY girls to to train us but once I learned how to fall and you're paded up but once I learned how to tuck be close to the ground then I wasn't so scared cuz that's the scary thing is you're going to fall a lot um and then of course we worked with actual roller derby girls that made us look good so yeah the physical one and then now Born Killers um the whole fight sequence in the beginning it was originally written as she just clocks him once and he's out and um it was me and Benny and Benny the jet he's a well-known uh mixed martial artist uh legendary they're making a documentary about him and he we wanted to do a real badass fight sequence early in that time 199 five you haven't seen a girl really do left Jabs so left jab keep them awake away this elbows little knee so I did a whole Bight to and so that was real fun to prepare for awesome thank I just wanted to say that I uh saw you in 2007 with El licks opening up for Muse at the Grand Prairie noia Theater what used to be called noia it wasn't Texas no we have a shot where we stopped at a truck stop and I have like a monkey that you velcro monkey and we're all wearing hats me in the van anyway go on yeah I've never forgot that performance you like coming off stage and jumping out into the audience and everything that was great you know just like interacting with the fans like that um but my question is when you play a dark character does it live with you for a while or do you can you just shut it off like a switch like mallerie um no so it I it doesn't say with me once I'm done but you're basically you're playing with energies so I kind it's kind of like Conjuring and so like when I did yellow jackets that character doesn't smile for barely for like five months and so she's real heavy and dark and uh so it is intense and I it I did need a walk in the park I have dogs they help um yeah three dogs but uh yeah CU I'm not formally trained in a way I don't try to stay in character but you're dealing with energy and you're sitting in it a lot anyway yeah so that's why it's tough it's tough to do yellow jackets it was hard and and it's like you know you're acting but your body doesn't I've analyzed this many days I'm like what's my end my indoctrinate trees I walk outside I'm a big nature person T some grass yeah yeah thanks hi was nice to have you here um my question is a music question um but um I had a question I I read that on four on the floor they R stepped in and played drums on that I just wanted to know if you had like favorite memory of working with him or just in general recording yes okay so he's talking about I think the Liv the second third record EP it was our second full length record called four on the floor Dave r the legendary drummer in frontman played drums on that record and we have video clips of that on online you can search that cuz he is so powerful to me I always joked that it was like being in the room with Zeus god when he played it was so much power and Rhythm and um we were all just tickled cuz we were touring before that and his band was real gracious to my little band The licks and we had to prove ourselves as being a real solid live band on all those festivals so he took us under his wing well I love your music and and just one last thing are you is there any plans for you do any more recording yeah I've been recording with a guy named Brad Schultz he he's in uh Cage the Elephant real fun band one of my favorites today who does rock and roll and um they have a new record out called neon pill actually so special and uh he they're on tour but we've been working on songs somay release a new EP yeah yeah well we can't wait hi can somebody move the mic down Tri we just take it off this hand yeah there you go thank you um Bally out of all the movies you played in what is your favorite that is such a tough question I hope you haven't seen any of the movies a few what eating girl were gra you could see have nice Christmas um there some are my favorite for different reasons CU I was a different age at at like Christmas vacation I was 15 and everybody was real nice to me it was my first big giant movie I didn't know it was going to play every year and people's houses so sweet yeah we love that thank you it's like how lucky that's just luck and then um notor kills is so special because I was uh there not an idea that Oliver Stone turned down that I I would offer and so it made me super creative and very confident in my instincts just remember that in like I don't know 10 to 15 years when you're allowed to watch that movie than question thank you the dinosaur are you were you the dinosaur Sam did you have the dinosaur head in the mid before no were you justess as the dinosaur no no okay no problem got hi this is my my so I know him underneath okay go on what was your favorite experience in dust hold on did you like working with quear because and I only asked that you know you worked with Quinton you know you of course wrote natural B killers and he wasn't around then there's famous stories about that yeah the script kind of got taken over but then you got to work with him who uh I guess we forgot to pay the bill um no uh you get to work with him on screen which is not rare he doesn't act a time yeah he was very serious in taking his role very serious as an actor because there's a it's a huge part him and George Clooney they carry the whole movie he was super fun he's who invited me to do from d on it was basically like cuz we made we became friends after Natural Born Killers I hadn't met him yet but we you know came up around the same time and he he's like Julia in col he's like uh don't you love my phone calls like Leo ter just kidding um back in the day like real landline phones cell phone but he's like Julet what are you doing this summer um do you want to do this wild gangster vampire movie for my friend Robert Rodriguez I was like oh let me check it out and so um I like that she lives in the end and she she wins stuff like that is really interesting and unique for the time you know her and George cloney that they go on in a role that like he has never never ever come close to being in again like he's never played a character or been in a movie like that a villain is that guy or just even kind of a genre movie it's such it's such a special movie and of course we love it here in Texas we love Robert another Texas boy and of course Tom S is here as well uh but yeah D Dawn holds kind of a special place I think for fans in the horror genre especially in Texas so um did that answer your question oh wait there's a famous story it was a world record heat in 1994 when we shot was that one it was it was at 134 I kid you not where we were shooting in the desert cuz I remember going does the Earth get that hot it does I swear it was more than 127 anyway it was a world record we would all jump in the swimming pool it was like super budget hotel at the end of long days it's fun nice thank you thank you all right we got time for the last year hi I want to start by saying you're so pretty it's making me nervous and then my actual question is what's your favorite part about doing like conflict this the people and I don't want to get te this always happens the lady I'm working with I always like get some in the day crying um no because well because I'm I'm really sensitive to energy and everybody here has been so nice and so thoughtful and anytime people mention my dad is I feel like it's him saying hello and he did he did conventions like uh 15 years ago and now more people are doing them the strike was really brutal on our industry too so it's just beautiful it's a full circle moment cuz a lot of these characters we create create on our own and so when people give back it's really special thanks Fork hi hi uh I'm a huge fan uh shout out to Kate be because no one's brought that up yet but um my latest thing that I watched doing was yellow jackets your characterization of Natalie was so on point I actually had a friend auditioning for that role and she got the night it and she was really dad until she found out you got it because then she was like it's do it f what am I supped to um but my question is how did you align your characterization with sophies because you're playing two different ages but you were so on point like it was so perfect did you just Vibe or did that require an extra preparation well it's two things it's one a huge Testament to the casting director who cast all our parts and also to Sophie and um because she said she was watching me a bit but we all we both have this a deeper voice and um we both intuitively thought of Natalie similarly with her tastes and what she might have been like when she was younger but I have to give Sophie a lot of credit for for Natalie cuz I didn't I didn't look uh young at the younger part but she looked sometimes at what I was doing was really special and it's the writing the writing it was so great thanks hi Julet I just want to say I love your shirt how do you think super cool I thought it was good for the good um is there anything special that you did to get into character as mallerie yeah there's that one um yes so many things so uh we learn fighting all of us were taking lessons with um a guy that Robert Downey had brought on I don't remember his name but just learning skilled fighting I had never shot a gun before so that was a very interesting story um working with an ex-military man named Dale D that's his real name um very staunch character so I had to practice holding a gun I think it was a 9 mm I don't know who knows my God I we're in Texas um I don't know but it's it's I was little little than I am now and so when I first shot a gun you know in a target practice we learned about the anatomy of gun gun safety I mean it was a for it was wild the movie as it was it was like real series about the working with guns and fake guns um but anyway I shot it and I immediately started crying is it so scary so that's that's who mallerie is that's acting because me as Juliet I like this is a killing machine and it's too big for my hands and it terrified me and then Dale D put his arm around me he's like come on kid come on all right and I think tears of a girl made him more terrified than any gun you could ever put in his hand and then and then every gun you could think of lay it out on T we did a shooting practice and all kind stuff um and then research it was great to playing mallerie cuz she was a madeup character it was very broad so like it sort of anything goes and I was just so inspired by a lot of things Oliver was giving at that moment music he was listening to it first time I heard Patty Smith wow um at one scene where I kill Rodney Dangerfield I I was making this yodeling Banshee sound in the shower one day for mallerie this is what happens when you're on fire fire creatively and I would tell oliv her I was like do you think she's go like I can't even make the sound I don't know what I was doing he's like try it sounds good thank you that's awesome all right take last for you for M obviously what she had a Tito on her leg did she say massage s on you just brought ronne danger field and that was my question what was the dynamic for that like it seems awesome Ronney Dangerfield was so lovely on natural burn Killers like everybody's in the zone of what their scenes are half of the time people don't know what kind of movie they're making um me and Woody sure did and Downey and Seymore um but uh um so Dangerfield would come up with all these jokes he's know he's playing Herbert he was like what did he think to this Oliver and he would like say these crude horrible jokes cuz he's a joke man but he's doing it and as this horrible father and so he should was the sweetest Guy and um I felt bad about jump jumping on him he said it back hard to like wait say it again it was like hard to play a dynamic to be like ugly and hled him oh yeah absolutely cuz I have to jump like like I hate him and me mom like are are you okay yeah I need my in real life they're so great do you see her horns guys you're going to have to swap the ears off the horns thank you all right so cool thank you so [Applause] much so we only got a few minutes I don't want to C anyone off if we can just rapid fire okay I'll try to be quick too so I notic um in kind of a running theme in a lot of your movies when you're older is like the loss of innocence and how it's just like destroyed in a lot of the movies that you do but with Kate fear um and that scene with uh I mean just in general how was it working with Rob him being the method actor and really catching off guard with the whole Thumb in your mouth oh no there you know and we went through all these times and I was treated with such Respect by people I worked with with on these movies that you know of um the they I was it's what shaped me creatively because people liked aniro and of course they really respected what I had to contribute so even in that moment you're thinking of there it was always written that he was going to kiss her um so and we're playing cat and mouse and uh he was always really G gentle polite he would say Hi how are you in the morning and he was just a consant for professional that's awesome yeah yeah thank you all right hi hello um 30 years ago when be was released Ben Stiller had a television show on Fox he created a SPO of the short he made a short film a spoof of your K beer Janine garage spoed your performance it's probably on YouTube if you haven't seen it have you ever seen jine Garoppo's SPO of your performance and did you receive Ben Stiller's spoof of Kate beer maybe I I just saw like a clip of J Garo playing me and there were a few people playing me at that time and I guess that's the highest compliment when you've reached into the Ze ice is when people are imitating you at the time it was loss on me I was in my own uh bubble but yes I remember that smooth it's pretty funny hi okay first off I wanted today that you are an amazing dancer you danced with my friends too yesterday when you got his autograph or you got your autograph oh yes do I I did that is a true story I mean I sort of swung we we danced yes I to now you're going to get everyone coming up to you give them a foot massage massage how did your role in California affect you emotionally and what was the purpose of the cactus in your purse oh my God that was so cute her Cactus name Lucy yes well it's more like when I play these parts I want to give them life so no actually no Adele I have a soft spot for I can't watch the ending of it it makes me so sad oh my gosh actually that's real cuz she's like a child so when I was playing that character I wanted to play a 9-year-old who was per permanently stuck in is being an I know oh um and so uh that was really sweet but it was really neat the whole experience was fun and um Lucy why does she have a cactus I think that was written but some of those little songs and funny things you remember as Adele I contribute a lot the director wanted me to make stuff up so oh that's awesome yeah it's really neat when people say lines that I just sort of made up on the Fly cuz I that would be neat yeah thank you you're amazing thank you so really quick it's it's the 30th anniversary of national Bo pillar this year um you know when that movie when that movie came out um it and I'm not even honestly sure if we've had a movie since then in the 30 Years be as controversial as it was when it came out um and and it and it it was so preent I feel like it was it was commenting on something that was yet to come because of um where we're at in the media and True Crime and um the the kind of violence in our current so much stuff there was the lorine Bob Clips he put all this at the end the OJ Chase on the freeway I mean there was so much stuff of the culture that time how do you how do you kind of reflect back on that movie now so we just did an interview for Esquire I think it'll come out for the 30th cuz I did a few months ago for the 30th Anniversary about thought stories um but at that time I never experienced you know we do interviews when we sell the movie with a lot of journalists and um they're what's called junket so we'll do interviews for like eight hours a day and I never experienced journalists that were so mad they were vicious like hateful and they hated what me and Wy they took it out on us we're like don't shoot the messenger you just uh you know we're playing these characters I don't think they appreciated that Oliver was doing a social commentary on journalists making sort of superstars out of you know Killers or people yeah you know even when I watched Netflix and they changed a little bit like they stopped printing people's manifestos to do horrible things but even on Netflix recently I was watching this docu show where they're interviewing the Killer and I'm like you know I don't appreciate hearing his take on the victim even in Netflix land they're like we're making a series and in my head I don't know I didn't sit well with it so it's it's kind of more relevant today 30 years later than it than it was even they're making a lot of docy series and I got to admit I'm into that stuff but every now and then I'm like I don't need to be seeing this this guy a lot I don't know yeah well um thank you so much we have tradition love that I wanted to film you all right we need we need yall to again bring your PK energy in the background stand up go crazy can we the lights all the way [Music] up right in the middle we to block [Music] will you
