- Oh I hate them. (screaming, shrieking)
(upbeat, lighthearted music)
So about a month ago I made a reaction video
to the "Lost In Space" trailer
that debuted at New York Comic-Con.
I didn't sleep in preparation for about
48 hours because I just wanted to get
the trailer as soon as possible.
(crying) (intense Sci-Fi music)
Even before I went to sleep after I posted it
the "Lost In Space" account had tweeted about it.
So I got on a Skype call with this guy from Netflix,
and that I would get on a flight to D.C.
to celebrate this fandom stuff and meet
other fans of other Netflix shows.
They said I could invite someone,
like a family member or a friend.
I decided on Sam instead of bringing my parents.
I got her into "Lost In Space"
pretty quickly after I watched it
so it was a no-brainer to invite her.
It took three flights to get from
where I live in Australia to here.
(exclaiming)
This place is way too nice for me.
My mother said when this happened that
it probably wasn't going to be anything too serious.
She was shocked it was going to be
a documentary about super fans.
The joke is on her (laughing) after all of that!
This is wild.
I was really nervous about the interview.
I'm sitting there-- - All right cool,
I'm just gonna, I'm gonna get another light for you.
- And someone needs to come in to fix the light
or add more light, someone comes in
and she's kind of struggling with it.
- Thank you so much, sorry.
- And she's wearing glasses, but she looked
a bit familiar but I didn't really click on.
I was like, "She's just a light girl, it's fine,
"I'll just let her do her thing.
"I don't know much about it."
And then she takes her glasses off, and I screamed.
- Sorry, I don't usually do lights.
- Oh my God! - Hi!
- Are you kidding me?
Oh my God, I'm gonna cry!
That's why she's familiar, it's Mina in my face suddenly.
- Hi!
Get in on the hug, are you kidding me?
- She's a fan as well.
- Hi!
I know you haven't been to D.C. before.
I was wondering if you wanted to go out
a little bit today-- - Duh, lets do it!
- and see a couple of the D.C., do we wanna go?
- So we went to the monument and we're walking,
taking photos, some really great ones actually.
I'm asking her a million questions, and
she's giving us some non spoiler-y answers, unfortunately.
I try to get the T.
Will the robot reunite with the Robinsons
within the first five episodes?
- We will see the robot, not necessarily
in the way that we saw him at the end of last season.
- I need spoilers to live, to be honest.
I really wish I had gotten something.
So then we walked from the Lincoln Memorial
down to the Washington Monument to take a picture.
We're told to shout, "Danger Will Robinson!
- [Photographer] Three, two, one.
- And as I do, someone else comes
to my left and screams it.
- [Group] Danger Will Robinson!
(shouting, shrieking)
- Oh my God, what?
- And it was Ignacio, I didn't expect that.
I thought Mina was it.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm just takin' a picture.
- [Mina] This is crazy!
- You said there wouldn't be any more surprises!
(all laughing)
When I asked them if they believed in aliens
I was really happy that they had
the exact same opinions that I did.
Do you believe in aliens?
- Ooh, yes, 100%
The idea that we're the only people
in the universe, it's ridiculous.
- Correct answer.
- I think I'm alien, for sure.
- Definitely. - Wouldn't you?
- Have you seen the way he walks?
- I was told there would be no more surprises after Mina.
So after Ignacio I asked the crew whether
there would be more surprises and to please tell me
because I could not take much more,
and they promised me that there would be no more surprises,
that it was just lunch and then we would continue
the interview in the hotel room.
- You just stop lying, you're just lying to us so much.
- [Crew Member] You can take a breather.
- Is there anyone else? - No no no no.
- Okay.
So that was a lie. (laughing)
So we leave the National Mall
and they point me to get into a car.
- Oh am I getting in first? - Yeah.
- Someone's in the back seat with a newspaper.
Who is this?
Oh my God, stop it!
(laughing)
It was Max! - You can come over here.
- Are you reading a newspaper like an old man?
- Yeah you know me, I just got that old man attitude.
(girls laughing) - Oh my God.
- All right, so in all seriousness,
I have a secret message for you,
from someone who I think you'll recognize.
- Oh my God, okay.
- It's really important though.
- Okay.
(Gracie gasping)
- Okay, it's Taylor Russell, and I
am gonna be watching Gracie's reaction video
to the "Lost In Space" season two trailer.
- Oh my God.
The robot's a hoodlum now, the robot's (gasping).
(all laughing) It's embarrassing!
It was really surreal to see her react
to my reaction to the trailer.
I'd love her to react to my reaction
to her reaction to my reaction, that would be awesome.
I could not stop crying, and she was the one
that broke the news that I was going to the premiere.
- Shut your mouth! - Okay, so you'll
be able to see it before a lot of other people will.
- I'm gonna be an irrational mess after all of this,
all the plot twists! (laughing)
- Well I'll see you guys tomorrow!
- Okay! - All right!
- Bye, it was so nice to meet you guys!
- You too!
(triumphant, orchestral music)
If I had to gauge my excitement level for this premier
it would be a thousand, for sure.
Normally I would just be preparing at my house
in my pajamas to sit down and not move for 14 hours,
but instead I'm here getting my make up done.
No I've never been to a premier.
I live in the outback in Australia!
- I've been friends with her for three years,
and I know how much time and dedication
she puts in to just being a fan of shows,
and never to get anything back in return,
so to finally be invited to a premier of that show?
It's so incredible.
(upbeat hip hop music)
Don't look now! (Gracie gasping)
Look how tall he is! - Oh I'm gonna cry!
Sam and I were taken to a greenroom.
Okay, I think I'm gonna cry, but hi!
They were so sweet, kind of crazy to be having
a conversation with these people
that I've seen on a screen so many times.
- Are we gonna take you out?
- Yeah, let's go and see some more people.
- Molly and Toby introduced me to one of the writers.
Thank you for writing the best show ever!
- Oh that's nice of you to say!
- I met Zack, the show runner, and that was really fun
because he was one of the first people
to reach out to me after I posted the reaction video.
- Well it means so much to us to have people
who love the show as much as we love to make it
and so that's just why we wanted to celebrate you.
That's why we do it after all.
- Parker Posey is nothing like her character,
I am pleased to inform everyone.
She's so sweet and so easy to talk to.
I feel like I had the longest conversation
with her, actually.
I love you, your character drives me a bit crazy.
- My nephew Rowan, he was like, "What is she doing?"
and you know, threw the remote control down,
and I'm related to you.
- So the premier was of the first episode
of the second season.
I'm actually sad I'm gonna have to watch
the rest of the season on my laptop. (laughing)
It's fun, it takes itself not too seriously
but it's also dramatic and it's funny.
Season two, the scope is so much bigger than season one
and you can tell in the very first episode.
I will have trust issues for the rest
of my life after this weekend.
It was amazing, all the surprises were crazy,
and I don't think it will ever get better than this.
I think this is my peak.
- [Interviewer] What's your opinion on surprises?
- Oh I hate them, they drive me crazy.
(metallic pounding, rumbling) - Whoa, what was that?
- Are you kidding me? - Can you get the door?
- (laughing, crying) Stop!
- Room service!
(futuristic electronic music)
- Oh my God, really?
Why's he so tall?
- [Interviewer] The robot brought you something here.
- Oh breakfast, awesome!
(laughing) Thanks.
Oh my God!
(furniture toppling) (Gracie laughing)
Yeah!
(choir intoning)
You guys are liars!
(upbeat, lighthearted music)
