- Hi, I'm Chase.
- Hi, I'm Maddie.
- Hi, I'm Rudy Pankow.
- Hi, I'm Maddie.
- Hi, I'm JD.
- [All] And we're the cast of Outer Banks!
- And you're watching...
- Burning Questions. - Burning Questions.
- With Buzzfeed.
(upbeat music)
- You guys filmed the full year,
and now your lives are completely different.
What does it feel like?
How was the massive fan reaction to the show?
- It's weird because, like, this whole quarantine thing,
it's hard because, one, you're locked down
so you see like the social numbers changing.
Which is awesome because it sort of validates
that the show doesn't suck.
- Woo, for not sucking! - Thank you guys for that.
- It's like a weird thing, because, like,
we haven't had really had any outside,
like, connection besides, you know, these little things.
- Yeah. - Like I said,
it kinda doesn't feel real yet.
Any time I go to the grocery store now,
it's getting more and more real but I'm loving this.
- I think we're all just really excited
to like, do what we did last year again
with each other. - For sure.
- So, what're you guys doing?
Every time I talk.
- Let's raise the bar baby.
We raised it high, we raise it higher, let's go.
- The bar was here, it's here now.
We're raising the bar.
- Did you guys keep anything from the set?
I think the only thing that I kept was my Pogue bracelet.
- You kept your Pogue bracelet?
- Yeah.
- I didn't get to keep any of mine.
- I'm holding the Zippo lighter that I decided
that JJ would have on the first day I got casted as JJ.
I was like, he would have a Zippo lighter.
So I got to keep that.
- This is a little poof that I found at
the chateau, like one of the last days when
we were filming before they cleaned it up.
And it was just like, chillin'.
'Cause John B's not the tidiest person ever, so I was like,
no one's gonna know if this is not--
- Okay, okay, I need a Roomba, sue me.
- My good friend here, from episode nine,
his name is Kodak Quack. - Quack!
- Yes. - He's my duck.
- I have--
- The shoe!
- John, I've done a little thing to him since then,
I drew all over em'.
I have bandanas too, I have like three or four of em'.
- Oh yeah, they did let us keep some of the bandanas.
- I use them quite a bit during the quarantine.
- How does it feel to get repeatedly
recognized in a bandana Chase?
- It's the hair.
- It's weird, it's weird.
- What's a role you auditioned for that people
might be surprised to find out about?
- I read through several characters for this show,
and that was something that maybe people don't know
is that I read for actually Rafe.
I read for JJ first actually.
Rafe, John B and back to JJ.
- There was a bunch of like, stuff that you're probably
pretty well know I had auditioned for
and got pretty close on.
Jamal, on "My Block", I auditioned for.
Everyone says I look like him.
- I have one good one, I don't if I've told you guys this
but when they did the Han Solo reboot, I got pretty
deep in the casting to play Han Solo.
- I see it. - Nice dude, that's awesome.
- I think I read like, five times for that.
And then they casted a 34-year old guy, so.
- When I was younger, I actually auditioned
for, the Coen Brothers', reboot of "True Grit".
- Coen Brothers, flex on it. - Yeah, oh just "True Grit".
- What was the first impression of each other, okay?
- Everybody was great.
Like I was so stoked because we met
and then we did the table read,
and then, we all hung out after that.
We went to that dinner and I was like wow,
these people are pretty rad.
This is gonna be a really fun summer.
Remember I didn't like Austin at first?
That's the only thing. - Yeah.
- And now, I love Austin.
- We all went to the movies one time.
And like, the movie just ended and Austin was like,
"I gotta go use the bathroom."
So, we're like sitting there waiting for Austin
and Chase dead serious looks at us and is like,
"Should we leave him?"
And we were like, "No!"
- I was like, that's Topper and like at that point
I was just like, I'm going full method.
Like, I don't like this guy.
What was the toughest stunt you had to film for the show?
- I liked the fight scene with Barry.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- I think the hardest stunt might've been
the stuff on the boat with Ward.
We went all out, and were just beating the piss
out of each other for three days and...
- I feel like the most dangerous stunts
are the ones that aren't planned.
'Cause sometimes we'll just like, decide to do within.
Like the time Rudy jumped through a car window.
- Yeah, sure did, sure did. - Oh, yeah.
- Didn't make the cut though, it's all good.
- How early into season two do you think the Pogues,
will find out, that John B and Sarah are still alive?
And what do you think the reunion will be like?
- I think it's gotta be pretty early,
right? - I'm supposed to answer it!
- Oh!
(all laughing)
- They're obviously gonna get
into some sort of trouble in the Bahamas.
They're there for a reason.
But that's a great question, I don't know.
I would think like, two episodes in?
'Cause the show is called "Outer Banks", right?
So, can't be in the Bahamas for forever.
And I do think that the reunion will be a beautiful thing.
- We were quarantining together at some point,
and it looked like on social media you might still be,
how did that happen?
We were quarantined together for a bit,
like when the show came out because we didn't wanna be alone
when the show premiered so
we spent about
a month
together in a one bedroom apartment.
So naturally, we just,
a little much.
So we've all kind of gone our separate ways,
we're no longer quarantined together obviously.
- Everyone is talking about the love triangle
between Kiara, JJ and Pope.
What can you tease about the possibility of
JJ and Kiara being together?
And how will that impact Pope and JJ's relationship?
- Ow, ow!
- Wow, I didn't know this was written already.
It's the love triangle that nobody knew
was gonna happen, but I'm so glad it did
because it's pretty great.
Why does everybody insist on being the weirdest
people on camera when I'm talking?
Like the reason there is no Pogue on Pogue macking
was to avoid a situation that might happen
in the near future.
So we'll see, once it's opened up
like why in the first place we implemented that rule?
- Yeah. - And that rule,
I mean, 'cause like, maybe it's like
oh, this is why no Pogue on Pogue macking.
Nobody should be together.
- We started the show with this like fantastic rule
of like friendship and then immediately we're all like,
(Chase imitating gun shots)
- Yeah, immediately like...
- It went well obviously. - Yeah.
- I think we all worked so well together as friends.
It's not hard to picture any of us like,
being in a relationship.
- It's gonna, if JJ and Ki ever are gonna be written
to end up together at all,
it's definitely gonna have to take time.
Because that, is just like, such a fast transition
between Pope and Ki, and I think that will gradually
get there, and it will show just like JD said,
that, the rule of no Pogue on Pogue macking
is there for a reason.
I mean that, or it's like, look,
like maybe this show will be the first show
and the show will be like, you can be in
a different relation, in several relationships
and make it work, you know?
You never know.
- Like if you look at it from where Pope and Ki ended,
I think it was really cool that there's so many
different layers of seeing all of them
like actually care about each other.
Maybe it was a spur of the moment thing
and maybe it was like, emotions were so high,
and you felt so bad about the fact that like,
Pope was absolutely losing his mind that,
this was something that felt right in the moment.
And I think as a teenager, like so many times
we've all gone through.
You kind of look at a thing that you've done
and you're like, yeah that was just kind of a moment thing.
And I think its cool to kind of leave it on that note
to where you're not sure who she's really
supposed to be with.
And there's different layers to partnership.
So, I think it will be interesting to see like,
when Pope is not, you know, self destructing.
Is he a person that Ki would wanna be with?
You know what I mean, or either of them.
Like, we don't know where Ki could end up,
like, who knows who she meets
in season two, or season three?
Like, I think it's cool that everybody was going
through so much at the end of the season.
Let the girl live.
- I feel like every time we talk about Kiara,
it's always like, whether or not
she should be with Pope or JJ.
When she like, in herself is a good character.
Like, we shouldn't like, be every time you bring up Kiara,
it shouldn't be, she should be with JJ.
It should be like, well let's accept Ki
for the person that she is.
Kiara and Sarah are good characters in their own right.
- That's so true, it's okay to not know
who you wanna be with, like, that's totally normal.
- Who do you, for Bailey, who do you think
Kiara should be with?
- I feel like a third party should come in, you know?
The reason why Kiara was the one who was so adamant
about like, Pogues don't mack on Pogues is like,
y'all are the only friends she has.
She can't lose you guys.
I think, a third party would be the best way
to handle that, like somebody else needs to come in.
- I also think it would be interesting
to see Ki bring somebody else into the Pogues.
- Guys, Spy Games, which episode is that again?
- Four.
- Was such a fun episode to watch.
Chase and Madelyn, can you share any
of your fun stories or memories from filming it?
- Maddie was super sick, that's not really
a fun memory to be honest, actually.
- There was one time that, the movie theater night
and everybody was at the Country Club
and because they were shooting that,
Chase and I weren't on set so we came to set.
We tried to get, in the background.
Like we asked our costume designer to put us in some clothes
that weren't ours and give us some kook clothes.
And we were spotted immediately and removed from the shot.
- Some moments on the show includes some improvisation.
Like JJ's speech about his dad in the hot tub.
Are there any other moments from the show like that?
Yes.
- Oh yeah. - Yes there is.
- Be Safe, was completely improv.
- Be Safe.
- I'm so safe.
- I see that the internet really liked
when I called Topper a sweetheart.
That was an improv moment. - "PowerPuff Girls".
PowerPuff Girls was improv.
- We two PowerPuff Girls have fun.
- JD and Rudy, they literally, the banter in their show
is like that in real life times like a hundred
and so sometimes when you're like on,
like, in between shots, and you're trying to be
kind of like, down, you know, bad, or you know
in a bad mood and you got Rudy and JD over here
like, trying to decide, like if a taco
or a hamburger would win.
- It seemed like there was some kind of history
or past between Rafe and Kiara?
Will season two get into that?
Will we learn more about Kiara's kook year?
- I think yeah 'cause, you were at my house a lot.
- I was just about to say, I think, I did know Rafe
from being at your house constantly, I don't know.
I have no idea.
I've literally, never thought about this ever.
- [All] Yeah.
- That's a big revelation. - I feel like--
- Flashback.
- I feel like you already didn't like Rafe
just from like, you know, when Sarah and Kiara
were friends because, well, let's face it.
- There's no way we were ever like, cool.
Will we get more of Kiara's kook year?
I hope so, you know, I want a little more
because where did I go? - So, flashback?
- What's it like beating up and getting
to beat up people like Drew Starkey
who seem like awesome people in real life?
- I know for when I had to hit him he was all like,
you can hit me, and I was like okay, I will.
- Like everybody, rehearsing stunts together,
it's like some of the like, most fun.
- It's like choreography. - Yeah.
- It's like learning a dance. - Yeah.
- Except, you get to look cool.
And Drew's really awesome, he's like a great, great guy,
so, don't hate on him in real life, he's not Rafe.
- The main plot line for season one
was hunting for treasure.
What do you think season two will focus on?
- Getting the treasure back.
- Treasure. - Yeah.
- And guy that's looking for revenge.
- Yeah. - We like treasure.
- It seemed like that FBI guy, believes Sarah at the end
and now the cops have heard John B
accuse Ward of killing his dad.
Will Ward go down in season two?
- I feel like he should for sure.
He's gonna be this close to getting caught
and then he's gonna get away, you know?
Yeah, or...
that was stupid, I'm just gonna leave my answer at that.
- That was bigger than any cliffhanger on our show.
- Yeah I was like what if what?
What do you mean? - Maybe.
