Being lost out in the middle of the woods would be terrifying.
[laughs]
I was so excited and so down.
Were there any scenes in particular that were the most difficult to film?
They were very confused by that aspect.
This was the moment when it was like, “You’re up!
You’re up!”
All of that took a few days to feel like, “All right, I got this.”
Funny how that worked.
When did you two meet for the first time?
That was really early.
Then we met at the hotel in Covington, Louisiana.
Actually, we all got each other a little present very much our love language.
She was out there with me pretty much every time there was an Emily and Sam scene.
We actually did that together.
She was essentially a reader in the scene.
She played herself, which was incredible and so generous.
I feel like that would help so much when you’re in a scene going back and forth.
In it, your characters talk about the lack of representation in the media while they were growing up.
Let’s talk about it."
But there was a certain sense of ease.
So I felt less pressure from day one and more ease, so I feel great about it.
As Yoko said, she just cast the Emily and Sam that she wanted.
A lot of fans online have recently discussed seeing some sparks between your character Mika and Taryn Helm.
What are your thoughts on this potential relationship?
And if that happens to be me, hell, yeah.
Other than that, I can’t say.
I’m down to date people.
Whatever happens, happens.
Pretty much just Season 3 of “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”
That’s all I know.
[laughs] Should everything work out with the timing and scheduling, that would be wonderful.
I’m very close with everybody there.
They know that I love Alicia, and I’m totally willing to continue telling that story.
It will come down to timing and schedule.
But no matter what happens, it’s going to be awesome.
The fan base keeps growing and growing.
I think it’s awesome, and it gives a lot of people joy.
The film will be available to stream on MGM+ in May.
