I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ZOLA, ABOUT A STRIPPER OWH EMBARKS ON A WILD
ROAD TRIP TO FLORIDA.
IT'S TRIP TO FLORIDA.
BASED OFF A TWEET RETHAD.
I GOT A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO THE REAL ZOLA.
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IT WAS LIKE HAVING THE MIEOV COME
OUT FIVE, SIX YEARS LATER, AFTER HER STORY.
HERE'S WHAT THE REAL ZOLA HAD TO SAY.
I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE BEEN ON A JOURNEY WITHHE T FILM, WITH THE
STORY HAPPENING AND THE NIGHT HAPPENING FIVE YEARS AGO.
YOU PREMIERED IT AT SUNDANCE 20.20
THE PANDEMIC HAPPENED.
AND NOW YOU'VE HAD THE PREMIERE.
PEOPLE ARE FINALLY SEEGIN THE FILM AND SEEING HOW AMAZING IT
IS.
SO FIRST OF ALL, I WANTO T GET YOUR REACTIONO ALL OF THE
PHRASE THAT CELEBS HAVE GIVEN THE MOVIE.
>> NOW IT'S A SENSE OF RELIEF.
I WAS ECSTATIC IN THE BEGINNG.IN LIKE LET'S DO THIS.
HEAD FIRST INTO IT.
NOW, AFTER -- IT'S BNEE SUC AH JOURNEY.
REMO WRITERS AND EVERYTHING.
WE PREMIERED AT SUNDANCE.
AT THAT POINT, THE EXCITEMENT WAS AT A 10.
I LOVE THIS.
EVERYONE AT SUNDANCE LOVED IT.
WE HAD FUN, G TO SEE IT IN A THEATER WITH AN AUDIENCE.
THE FILM ADDS AN EXTRA LAYER TO THE EXPERIENCE.
SO THAT WAS AMAZING.
AND THEN PANDEMIC WAS LIKE WAIT A SECOND.
TO BE BACK GEP AND BE BACK IN THE THEATER AND EVERYONE IS
WATCHINGND A TALKING ABOUT IT, IT'S A SENSE OF RELIEF.
LIKE THIS HAS BEENHE T LONGEST SIX YEARS EV.ER
>> MY FULL INTERVIEW IS ON YOUTUBE.
I LOVED THE MOVIE.
MY HUSBAND AND BEST FENDRI LOVED IT.
IT'S A MIXTURE OF PULP FICTION MEETS SPRING BREAK.
IT'S WILD, SHOCKING, AND UNBELIEVABLE WHAT HAPPENS DURING
THIS WHOLE NIGHTN I FLORIDA, AND THE ACTRESSES WHO PLAY THE TWO
WOMEN, TAYLOR PAIGEHO W PLAYS ZOLA AND RILEY KEOGH AREO S
GREAT TOGETHER.
IT'S A CRAZY, FUN GIRLS NIGHT OUT, BUT LIKE I SA,ID MIXED WITH
SPRING BREAKERSND A PULP FICTION.
I LOVED ITND A IT'S IN THEATERS.
I LOVE THE STUDIO WHO HAS
PRODUCED SOME MOFY FAVORITE MOVIES.
I'M GIVINGT I 5 OUT OF 5.
IT BLEW ME AWAY.
I LOVED IT.
SEE MY FULL INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE.
>> YOU HAVE SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT,LA BCK WIDOW, THE
FIRST BIG MARVEL MOVIE IN A WHILE.
>> THIS IS THE FIRST BIG MVEARL MOVIE IN A WHILE.
IT BEEN ON A JOURNEY.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO CEOM OUT LAST YEAR ON A COUEPL OF OCCASIONS.
NOW BLACK WID,OW THE PREQUEL, IS FINALLY HERE.
WE KNOW THAT NATASHA, OF COURSE, DIE IN AVENGERS END GAME.
THAT'S NOT A SPOILER.
WE SEE HER HERE NOW AS A CHILD, WHO IS, OF COURSE, PLAYED BY
SCARLET JOHANSSON.
SHE'S GREAT IN THE ROLE.
THIS MOVIE FOLLOWS BLACK WIDOW IN BETWEEN THE COURSE OF EVENTS
THAT HAPPEN BETWEEN CIVIL WAR AND INFINITI WAR.
THOSE TWO MOVIES.
WE ALSO SEE A GLIMPSE OF HER LIFE AS A CHILD, MEET HER
PARES.NT ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTREESSS
PLAYS HER SISTER, FLORENCE PUGH.
THEIR FIGHTING SCENES AND THE FAMILY SCENES ARE GREAT.
THE BEST SCENES ARE JUST THEM BEING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY AND
WORKING TOGETHE ASR A FAMILY.
I REALLY THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A SOLID PREQUEL AND I THINK A LOT
OF FANS WILL ENJOY .IT A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO GET THE
TASTE FOR A MARVEL FILM AGAIN.
MY ONLY COMPLAINTS ARE I FEEL LIKE IT IS COMING OUT TOO LATE
WITH HER CHARACTER HAVING ALREADY PASSED AWAY IN AN
EARLIER FILM.
THIS FILM SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIVE, SIX, SEVEN YEARS AGO.
I'M HAPPY WE'RE GETTING TO SEE IT NOW AND THE THIRD ACT FOR ME
FALLS APART A LITTLE BIT.
I'M GIVING IT THREE AND A HALF OUT OF FIVE STARS.
IT LOOKED GREAT ON DISNEY PREMIERE PLUS FOR 29.99 OR SEE
IT IN THEATERS.
A LOT OF PEOPLERE A EXCITED FOR BLACK WIDOW.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.
JENNIFER: I HAVE QUESTIONS.
YOU TELL ME IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ANSWER.
>> OKAY.
JENNIFER:RE A THERE ANY OTHER AVENGERS IN THE MOVIE?
>> HONEST,LY I'MOT N GOING TO GET ANYONE'S HOPES UP, BUT THERE
IS AN END CREDIT SCENE.
STAY THROUGH THE MID END CREDITS AND THERE'S A SCENE WHERE THERE
MAY BE ANOTHER SORT OF CAMEO.
JENNIFER: I WAS KIND OF HOPING THEY WOULD EXPLORE HER
RELATIONSHIP WITH JEREMY RENNER'S CHARACTER, THE ARROW
GUY.
>> YES, YES, HAWKEYE.
DEFINITELY STAY THROUGH THE END CREDITS AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU
THINK.
I TNKHI SCARLET JOHANSSON AND FLORENCEH PUG ARE FANTASTIC
TOGEERTH AND THEIR ACTION SCENES ARE GREAT TOGETHER.
THIS IS SUCH A LGON ANTICIPATE THE SEQUEL TTHA I THINK A LOT OF
PEOPLE WILLEE S IT.
JENNIFER: ENJOY HER IN IT.
SHE SAYS SHE'S NOT GNG TOIO DO ANYMORE; IS THAT RIGHT?
>> I FEEL LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY CORRECT HE'S BEEN BLACK WIDOW IN
SO MANY MOVIESND A IRONMAN AND CAPTAIN AMERICA.
SHE'S DONE THE CHARACTER FOR SO LONG.
I CAN SEE HER MOVING ON TO OTHER PROJECT.
IF YOU LOVE SCARLET JOHANSSON, YOU'LL PROBABLY LOVE THIS FILM.
JENNIFER: LAUREN, GREAT TO SEE YOU AS ALWAYS.
HAVE A GREAT REST OF THE WEEKEND.
