- So Joey, having been in two 'Kissing Booth' movies
and having been in two kissing booths for the movie,
do you think that you are a good kisser?
- Oh, God, I hope so.
I hope I'm OK.
(laughs)
I feel like I'd be like, really sad if like, I've done movies
that have the word kissing in the name
and like, surrounded by the land of smooching,
and I was like, a bad kisser.
Why don't we just call every person
I've ever kissed in my life
and be like, "Excuse me, am I a good kisser? Thanks. Bye."
- "On a scale of one to 10, would you kiss me again?"
- But here's the thing.
OK, this is how I know I'm not a bad kisser.
Because I've kissed a bad kisser
and I'm like, "No, that's bad.
"I don't kiss like that."
(laughs)
- That is a really good point.
- [Joey] Joel, how do you think Lee has adapted
to Noah and Elle's relationship?
- It's such a foreign thought to him
and he's only really just now coming to terms
with what that means.
Like, there's times when you see, he asks like,
"So, how's it going with Noah?"
Like, "What's going on with you two?" That kind of stuff.
And those are questions he would hate to ask,
but he knows are important to his best friend, so he will.
It's a concept that he's not totally comfortable with,
but he's getting there and he's working towards it.
- He wants nothing more than
to not hear about Noah and Elle's smoochie-smoochies,
but he's a good friend to Elle
and he loves her.
So, he'll always do what he feels she needs.
- OK Joey,
do you think that Elle broke any of the rules
by kissing Marco?
- Yes. I don't think that
she broke any of her and Lee's rules necessarily,
but you know,
just relationship code rules.
When you're dating somebody,
even if you're feeling insecure in the relationship
or like that person isn't being faithful to you,
that doesn't give you the right to go and do a tit for tat
and you know, be unfaithful to them.
So, if you're feeling that way, break up with them.
If you're feeling like they're not being honest with you
or if you're having feelings for somebody else,
save the pain, don't be with that person.
Joel, what scene in "The Kissing Booth 2"
do you think defines our friendship in real life?
- Ooh, that's a fun question.
I would say the scene where it's after Thanksgiving
and I'm sitting in the arcade mopey,
and Elle comes in
and she pulls out a wishbone.
And it's kind of like the,
yeah, there's like, all this issue,
there's all this drama, and this wrong, and like, hurt
that we've done to each other.
But at the core, like, we're still friends.
We've got the wishbone and her wish is
for me to get what I want,
which is how self-sacrificing Elle is in that friendship.
The wishbone scene is one of my favorites
and possibly the best like, description of our friendship,
I'd say.
Who do you think has the most complicated relationship
in "Kissing Booth 2," and why?
- Honestly, you with Rachel
because what you're dealing with
it's real life stuff.
Elle is dealing with kind of something
that she thinks is happening, but she's not sure.
And her feelings for Marco,
which is all super complicated and totally real.
But I think what you're dealing with is balancing two people
who mean so much to you
and you just want both of them to know it,
and you don't wanna like, make anybody unhappy.
It's really stressful.
So, I think what you have to find and discover for yourself
is one of the more complicated journeys through the film.
- [Joel] Thank you.
Yeah, I would actually agree. Me and Rachel
go through it on this movie.
- [Joey] Mhm.
- Who do you think fans tell you Elle should be with
and who do you think Elle should be with,
between Marco and Noah?
- [Joey] I've seen a couple Team Marco's.
I've seen a lot of Noah and Elle
need to be together so much.
That's the number one.
And I've also seen a lot of,
"Why aren't Lee and Elle together?"
- Aye!
(laughs)
- Who do I think Elle should end up with?
I mean, every Elle needs her Noah.
But at the same time, there's some guy that comes through
who's just like, the nicest dude in the world,
Marco, who is so opposite of Noah.
Which is also a good thing
'cause, you know, it just shows her
like, what other people are like.
But at the end of the day, I don't know.
Maybe I'm Team Marco, I don't know.
- I'm Team Marco.
I really appreciate how just sweet of a guy he is.
You know, he comes in and he's not
really trying to make trouble for anyone.
He really just keeps to himself,
he's a musician,
he's artistic,
he's just a really nice guy.
And I'm a nice guy as well,
and I feel like, whenever
I see the really nice guys. - Oh really?
- Oh yeah, come on.
You know, it's true.
So yeah, I like to root for the nice guys
'cause the bad boys seem to get the girls sometimes.
Joey, why do you think social media
played such a big part in like,
Elle's fears of something happening with Chloe and Noah?
In this day and age,
when problems arise in relationships
in younger relationships,
oftentimes there's a lot of tension over social media.
Whether it's, "You're not posting with me enough.
"You're not liking my photos enough.
"Why are you liking her photos?
"Why did you unfollow that person?
"Why did you follow that person?"
There's so much complex,
like, new things that come up in relationships
that were never an issue before
because there's a new added element that people overthink.
And so I think that this movie brings that into play
because it's super real for this age group especially,
to like, see your boyfriend post a photo
and there's a girl in it,
and then you stalk her Instagram and you're like,
"What's going on?
"And why does she seem that she's flirting with him?
"And does she like him?
"Does he like her?"
And like, you stalk and you stalk
and you really just overthink.
And that's why I love this movie so much.
Like, it's watching real high schoolers go through stuff
because social media plays a huge role
in all of our lives now.
I am a detective for sure.
My friends ask me like, to help them find something,
I'm like, "I'm on it."
Sometimes I'm like, really bad at it,
and I can't find jack(beep)
but I can make do, I can usually make do.
- I am definitely not a detective.
I need to know someone's handle
or I can't find them.
(laughs)
- [Joey] If there were a 'Kissing Booth 3,'
I would hope Lee starts a corn farm
and he grows the most beautiful crops
in all of the United States.
And then, he opens a theme park called
"Lee and Elle's Theme Park,"
and they serve nothing but corn-flavored ice cream,
corn funnel cake.
(laughs)
And then, Elle is single for the rest of her life
and she operates a hot air balloon on the side.
(laughs)
- I am in shock right now.
- What just came out of my mouth?
(laughs)
- I don't know.
- I don't know either.
- Honestly, I think it would be one of those things
where I would want--
I would wanna find like, resolution on all these journeys,
- Oh, really? You're going with that kind of answer, Joel?
- I'm not gonna grow a corn farm with my best friend
and start a roller coaster, hot air balloon company.
(laughs)
- Why not?
- Because I like pumpkins.
- Well, I stand by my answer.
So, whatever.
