You look fantastic.
Thank you.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for having me.
I'm so excited to be here.
I'm excited to have you here.
This is your first time.
We have met before-- we used to work out at the same gym.
I'm so glad that you remember that we've met before,
even though I feel like it was a little embarrassing for me
because the nature of our meeting was--
you know, I was rushing into the gym
and I had been receiving some sort of prank texts
that morning.
And I've known our trainer, Jason, for a while,
so I share things with him all the time.
And I came bursting in, like, everybody
you got to see what I've been receiving on my phone.
And as I go to show him, there you are just passing by.
You're sort just lunging by, and you were like, what's going on?
And I whipped around.
I think before I realized it was you, I was like look at this.
And it was a photo of a man's nether regions.
Right.
Nobody I knew-- a stranger.
Right.
I'd been getting those texts all morning,
and I really, really put it in your face.
Yeah.
And I apologize.
Right.
No, it was--
I do remember that.
Great.
I do.
But I remember more than that, though, is how strong you were,
because I think you were training for Glow.
Yes.
And I was just like, oh, my god.
You were so impressive.
It was intimidating.
I couldn't believe how strong you were.
Thank you.
I mean, Jason Walsh is an incredible trainer,
and I feel like--
you know, I spent a long time working on pull-ups,
which I'm very proud of.
And he often-- I feel like he would
like to use me to show off.
Yeah.
I think he did, actually, because I
was saying how strong.
He goes, watch this.
And then he made you get up and do pull-ups
with like chains on you or something.
Like--
Yeah.
Oh Yeah.
I can do a couple of those.
Yeah.
Only a couple with chains.
But still-- one pull up is impressive.
It's really-- So you're married to Dave Franco,
and I know he loves cats.
I'm surprised that you just rescued cats.
So you didn't have cats before this?
We had cats.
Oh, no.
When I met Dave, he had two 15-pound eight-year-old cats.
And those were my sons for the last eight years,
and the last of the two of them just
passed away earlier this year.
So we adopted two new kittens--
Look at them.
--from MaeDay Rescue.
Look at them.
Otis and Max.
So Maxine is a girl, so now we have a girl and a boy,
which is a different kind of energy.
And it's our--
Come on.
They're so sweet.
What rescue organization did you go to?
MaeDay Rescue.
MaeDay.
That's--
They do a lot of dog rescue, but during kitten season--
which I've learned is a thing--
It is a season.
They do open their doors to kittens as well.
Yes.
We have in LA-- we have awards season and kitten season.
Yes.
You have to get really dressed up.
Those are the only seasons we have, really.
And now, you I understand are a fan of The Bachelorette.
Oh, huge.
So are you-- I'm not caught up.
I didn't see last week.
Neither have I. So this is good.
No spoilers.
Right.
What do you think about what's happening?
Well, it's an interesting season, to say the least.
She likes to kiss every single man.
OK.
Let me say-- this is what The Bachelorette is supposed to do.
I'm glad we got the switcheroo, because look--
I'm so glad that Claire fell in love with Dale.
Spoiler alert, if you haven't watched the first three
episodes.
But I'm so happy that we have Tayshia now.
I love Tayshia.
I feel like she's the Bachelorette
that this group of guys really needed,
so that they could get that kind of open affection.
Sure.
OK.
Let's talk about the movie.
It's called Happiest Season, and I
think that what's really cool about this-- which is shocking
that it's the first-- but it's the first lesbian rom-com.
Right?
Yes.
It's amazing that this is the first lesbian rom-com.
Yes-- that's holiday themed and backed by a studio.
It's groundbreaking, but also it's about time.
I'm shocked that it's a first, and I
hope that it normalizes having gay couples at the center
of every type of movie.
Yeah.
It's directed by Clea DuVall.
It's so fun.
It stars Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis as girlfriends
who--
Mackenzie brings Kristen's character home with her
for the holidays.
And then Kristen Stewart's character
quickly learns that Mackenzie is not out of the closet,
and so they have to hide their love.
And also Mackenzie Davis' character's family is--
they're a stressful bunch.
I play her older sister, and we have a very competitive
relationship, as you saw in the clip.
Yeah.
It's a lot of fun, and I'm just really
happy that, first of all, that a studio backed it,
and that it's out there-- it's doing well.
So congratulations.
Thank you.
Come back anytime, and I'm going to learn to do a pull-up so I
can compete with you.
Well have a pull-up off.
I'm still very jealous of that.
All right.
I remember that more than the image that you showed me.
I'm so glad.
And now I feel terrible for reminding you.
That he doesn't seem to stick on my memory.
I don't really--
I was like, oh, OK.
All right.
It's called Happiest Season.
It's available on Hulu now.
We'll be back.
