- If you want to be spoiled, come on in. (actors laugh)
- Do not watch unless- - Don't watch
- you have watched the full season
of I Am Not Okay With This. - Yes.
- Hi, I'm Wyatt Oleff.
- And I am Sophia Lillis.
- My name is Richard Ellis.
- And my name is Sofia.
- We're gonna be taking you through (explosion)
That Scene
Shot-by-Shot.
(intense synth note)
- [Dina] Do you wanna dance?
(computer click) - [Sophia] This is Homecoming.
I'm just really excited
'cause I really wanted to show off my dance moves.
♪ Winter on the ground ♪ (both giggle)
- Aw, that's so cute. - So sweet.
- All of our dancing was just like, all on the spot,
but this was pretty simple.
It was just like, Oh waltz.
And I was like, I think I know what that is.
♪ I wake up lonely ♪
(computer click) - So the room,
well, it was packed.
- Basically, it was this abandoned school
in Pittsburgh, - Yes.
- and the whole top floor was just this gymnasium
and they just turned it
into a Homecoming party. - Yeah, that was really cool.
- That's also the same gym that we shot
in Episode 105.
(music stops) (microphone squeals)
- All right, ladies and gentlemen,
if I may have your attention.
Stop talking, look up here, please.
(computer click)
- Oh, he was so funny. - Oh, Mr. File.
- Mr. File was improv-ing all of his lines on that part.
And it was just a different take every time,
it was hilarious. - Yeah, so hilarious.
- [Mr. File] Your Homecoming King and Queen,
Jeff Butters and Julie Frasheski!
(everyone claps and cheers)
(computer click) - [Richard] So at this point,
it's nice.
- It's like, Oh my gosh, finally!
- Finally, something went right.
- Yeah.
- Until... (drums leg)
- I wanna thank my Mom for being my-
(hard push and microphone squeals)
(computer click) - And here I am. (laughs)
- There's Richard.
- (chuckles) That Richard.
- I love that man.
- Gimme a second. (crowd murmurs)
- Brad is unraveling - Mm-hmm.
- at this point.
He just got caught being a terrible person,
and he was drinking a little bit before this, and he, uh,
- A lotta bit. - A lotta bit. (laughs)
- I would like to take this moment
to talk about something very important
that affects everyone here.
(swelling drumbeat)
Sydney Novak.
(ominous drum thud)
Hey Sydney.
- I just remember doing this and um, the two Sophias
(computer click) - Yeah.
were standing there.
So it was really directed right at them.
- It was really hard to watch this
without laughing, though.
- [Brad] What a lot of people don't know
about Sydney here,
she's one hell of a writer.
(computer click) - Wait.
- Journal. - Journal.
- The diary. - The book.
- What was cool about it is it was a fully-formed diary,
so it felt really authentic.
And I went through everything,
every intimate secret that she had.
- I had actually wrote, in the beginning,
to kind of get into the character and stuff,
but it was the beginning,
so when I looked back on it, I was like,
what did I just write? (laughs)
What is this?
(ominous thud) (microphone squeals)
- You know, it's, it's funny,
because everyone is so fast to call me an asshole.
- Everything was really falling down on Syd
in this specific moment,
but it was also kind of falling on me in a different way,
where it's like,
I'm learning tons of new information, or well, almost do.
So Dina has like 80 million questions.
- Both of you are so in it, too.
- I was downstairs,
banging Jenny Tuffield at Ricky's
(audience gasps)
- [Brad] Guess what Sydney was doing upstairs?
(tense music)
She was kissing my girlfriend.
(audience gasps)
Now don't get me wrong.
Chicks get drunk,
they make out sometimes. (computer click)
- This scene where he's coming close to me,
- It was like all night? - It was all night, yeah.
Good section of it anyway.
- Now, I'm all for it, but (some guys laugh)
being a full dyke.
(audience murmurs)
That's a whole other ballgame.
- Like that, this is a big scene.
I'm really upset.
Also, I'm upset, uh, because (laughs)
Wyatt in the background.
- I was in, like, the background
on one of the takes on accident, like,
pushing a balloon. (both laugh)
- So I was really upset when watching Richard,
who was great, and I see you (laughs)
whacking a balloon. (laughs)
And that was so hard. (Wyatt laughs)
- [Brad] Don't even get me started
with the daddy issues on this one.
Everyone in her life thinks that she's a piece of shit.
(dramatic pound) I mean, everyone.
(hoots gleefully)
- Hey man, leave her alone! (violent punch thuds)
- Oh, oh. - Oh!
I was so excited for that.
- Oh, you don't know how excited Rich was
when he got to do that. (Sophia laughs)
- We were looking forward to that for weeks.
Because as we became friendlier, Wyatt would always say,
"Oh, you get to punch me in the face later."
Rich has a lot of experience,
like, fighting. I don't know. (Sophia laughs)
And he like knows, yeah no, he knows how to
properly throw a punch. - Yeah.
- We had to block out the whole thing
in another room. - Yeah.
And we had a stunt coordinator kinda going over
how to make it look like a movie punch.
- His fist was maybe all the way over here.
We were very far away from each other and I had to practice,
'cause like, when you get punched,
it's like, one, body, and then legs follow.
That was fun.
- [Richard] And he went flying onto a pad.
We did it a lot.
I had to fake-punch Wyatt a good deal. (laughs)
- Hey man, leave her alone! (violent punch thuds)
(crowd gasps) (microphone squeals)
(ominous rumbling)
- That is not even the weirdest thing
that Sydney
[computer click] - [Sophia] Real tear.
- (claps) Good actor. - Thanks.
- [Syd Voiceover] Shut up.
- [Brad] Novak.
(loud thud)
- Ooh!
- It's like everything's building up here to, uh,
come to an emotional conclusion.
- Of what though?
- I don't know what that is. - I don't know, what is it?
- I feel, like, pressure on my head.
- Oh no. - [Sydney Voiceover] Shut up.
- Get this. Sydney claims
- [Sydney voiceover] Shut up!
- that she has- (gruesome wet explosion)
- Oh, my God! (Richard laughs)
Oh my God.
(Sofia laughs) - It's still so funny.
(computer click) - Look at everyone just like-
- [Richard] The poor extras had no idea
how covered they were about to get.
- They just thought they were gonna stand around
and watch some sort of special effects thing happen.
So, the first take
was actually, like, real reactions.
Those people did a really good job.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you, Pittsburgh residents.
Thank you. Pittsburgh residents.
(gruesome wet explosion) (everyone screams)
- So we had this giant, like blood balloon, essentially
(computer click)
that they just stuck in the middle
at the same height that my head was at.
- And it would just, like, expand and, like,
no one really knew - Yeah.
- When it was gonna blow,
so it was really, like, a surprise.
- And they had this dummy that was wearing
the same exact outfit that
I'm wearing. - It looked just like you.
- Oh, it was really weird. - It was so creepy.
- I just sat on the bleachers and watched (laughs)
watched everybody get drenched.
(violent wet explosion) (everybody screams)
(hard wet thud) (everybody screams)
- I was, like, showering for, like, six days.
- Oh, I know. - And it was, like, pink.
(strange music) (everybody screams)
- Beforehand, we doused ourselves.
Like, you know what you do to hot wings. (Richard laughs)
Like that was, like, us.
- A few hours of just,
the makeup people just splatting on them blood.
I was so sweaty.
It was, went on for so long.

(computer click) - [Wyatt] Oh yeah.
The blue suit.
Um, that is the most bestest suit ever.
(Wyatt chuckles) - Word.
- It's, yeah, thank you. - You're welcome.
- It's pretty fantastic,
and that's why it shows up in the show twice.
(Sophia laughs) - Because it's the only
formal thing in Stanley's closet.
Ah, the suit was actually also
hand-made by the costume designer,
and it is wonderful. (Sophia laughs)

before the head explosion scene.
It was the first shot I ever had with the blood, uh, outfit.
Just did a lot of running in this, yes.
- [Wyatt] It looks great. - Thank you.
It was a cool, I got good exercise.
The camera was, I think was on,
like a little platform thing
and someone was driving it,
and uh, and I was just running.
It was pretty slow though.
