BLESS YOU FOR BEING HERE.
BLESS YOU, MIRA SORVINO, SOMEONE CAME UP AT THE COMMERCIAL BREAK
AND SAID MIRA WOULD LIKE A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE.
I SAID SO WOULD I. CHEERS, GANG.
CHEERS FOR "ROMY AND MICHELLE" 25 YEARS ON BACK HERE ON THE
>> I HAVE TO DRINK TO THAT SOFA. ONE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> James: LOOK OUT.
LOOK OUT. THAT'S IT NOW.
LOOK OUT. >> IT'S HEAVEN!
>> James: HEAVEN. THAT'S HOW I FEEL, YEAH.
>> BEING WITH MIRA AGAIN! WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER
25 YEARS AGO. >> WE DID.
>> AND NOT AS MUCH SINCE. >> RIGHT.
ALTHOUGH I'VE ALWAYS FELT LIKE WHENEVER WE GET TOGETHER.
>> OH YEAH. >> IT'S LIKE NO TIME HAS PAST
AND WE CAN TALK FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF.
>> OUR TWO OR THREE. >> YEAH.
>> James: THAT'S THE MARK OF A TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
LISA, WHEN YOU GOT THE FILM, WHAT DID YOU KNOW ABOUT MIRA'S
WORK BEFORE WORKING TOGETHER? >> THAT SHE HAD JUST WON AN
OSCAR. I KNEW THAT.
I THINK I TOLD YOU THIS -- >> OH YEAH.
YOU SHOULD GET APPLAUSE FOR HAVING DONE A GREAT PERFORMANCE
AND WINNING AN OSCAR. >> BUT WHAT I DON'T KNOW -- I
THINK I TOLD YOU -- I WAS ON A GIRLS' TRIP WITH COURTNEY AND
JENNIFER -- AND YOU'RE NOW WORKING WITH COURTNEY.
SHE'S NOW WORKING WITH COURTNEY. IT'S SO GREAT.
ANY WAY. WE WERE COMING BACK FROM A
GARRELLS TRIP AND THAT'S WHEN I -- A GIRLS' TRIP AND THAT'S WHEN
I FOUND OUT THAT YOU WOULD BE ROMY IN "ROMY AND MICHELLE" AND
I'M LIKE OH MY GOD. THAT'S HUGE.
>> James: IT REALLY IS AMAZING.
IT'S SUCH A BRILLIANT FILM. IT COMPLETELY HOLDS UP.
YOU HAD SOME FUN CHOREOGRAPHY IN THE MOVIE IF I REMEMBER RIGHTLY.
DO YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THE OLD ANCE MOVES?
>> YES. >> James: DO YOU?
REALLY? >> I REMEMBER MINE.
>> I REMEMBER THEM. I MEAN, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW,
THEY KNEW I HAD TAKEN A LOT OF BALLET AS A KID.
THEY GAVE ME ALL OF THESE PIQUE TURNS.
WEIRDLY I WANTED TO LOOK LIKE A GYMNAST COMING OFF A MOUNT.
I TRIED TO STILL BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, AT THE END THERE, JUST --
I DON'T KNOW. >> YOU WERE DANCING AND I WAS
DOING THIS OR THIS. >> James: HA-HA.
>> THEN I DID THE SNOOPY THAT REALLY. DANCE.
THERE'S ONE PART WHERE IT'S THE -- YOU KNOW --
>> James: THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT -- LOTS OF TALK ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THERE WOULD EVER AND COULD EVER BE A SEQUEL TO
THE FILM WHICH I SORT OF FEEL LIKE -- I THINK I'D BE REALLY
INTERESTED TO WATCH THAT. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD
HAPPEN, LISA? >> IT COULD.
WHY NOT? ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN.
>> James: WOULD YOU WOULD THIS TO HAPPEN, MIRA?
>> YES, YES. I'VE BEEN WANTING IT TO HAPPEN
FOREVER. >> YEAH.
>> AND I DON'T KNOW -- YOU KNOW, WE DID THE SAG AWARDS
PRESENTATION TOGETHER A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THERE WAS THIS
FOR THAT MOMENT, AND THEN WE CRAZY INTERNET APPRECIATION DID A
THAT GOT EVEN MORE, AND THERE LITTLE DANCE BACK STAGE AND SEEMS
TO BE A HUNGER FOR "ROMY AND MICHELLE" STILL.
THAT'S WONDERFUL. IT MIGHT BE THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING I'VE EVER BEEN A PART OF. I MEAN, THAT'S CRAZY, BUT IT
MOVES PEOPLE. PEOPLE CONNECT TO IT.
>> James: YOU CONNECT TO IT, AND YOU ALSO CONNECT TO THE TIME
IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU WATCHED IT.
>> WHAT'S IT FOR YOU? >> James: I THINK, OH, JUST
TRYING TO GET A GIRLFRIEND MAINLY.
THAT WAS REALLY -- THAT WAS REALLY MOST OF MY TRIPS TO THE
CINEMA AROUND THAT POINT. >> SURE.
I'LL SEE "ROMY AND MICHELLE" WITH YOU.
>> James: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. MIRA, YOUR ELDEST DAUGHTER
POSTED THIS ON TIKTOK DURING LOCKDOWN.
WAS THIS YOU DRESSED AS PHOEBE FROM "FRIENDS"?
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT HERE. ♪
>> THAT WAS GREAT! >> James: IS THAT WHAT IT WAS?
YOU WERE PHOEBE? >> I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE
I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MONICA PHOEBE. AND
THEN AT THE LAST MINUTE, UM, YOU KNOW, MY DAUGHTER SHIFTED
EVERYTHING AROUND, SO I TRIED TO FIND SOME CLOTHES AND THEN DO MY
HAIR IN SOME WAY THAT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT EVOCATIVE OF PHOEBE BUT
NOT REALLY. >> OF COURSE.
LOOK IT -- >> IS IT YOU OR ME?
THAT'S THE BIG QUESTION. >> James: ONLY THING THAT'S
>> NO ONE COULD BE PHOEBE MISSING IS A -- EXCEPT
FOR LISA. LISA CREATED THIS INDELIBLE
CHARACTER THAT'S PERFECTLY COMEDIC AND WACKY AND SMART, I
DON'T KNOW. >> James: IT'S A MASTERPIECE.
IT IS. IT IS.
I DO THINK -- I DO. I DO.
NOW, LISA, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW FILM.
LET'S CONGRATULATE YOU ON "BETTER NATE THAN EVER."
TELL US ABOUT WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY?
>> IT'S ABOUT THIS KID, NATE, WHO IS 13.
HE DOESN'T REALLY FIT IN. HE'S GOT A HARD TIME IN SCHOOL,
BUT HE CAN'T HELP BUT JUST BE WHO HE IS AND WHENEVER HE DOES,
EVERYTHING GOES GREAT AND HE RUNS AWAY TO AUDITION FOR THE
BROADWAY VERSION OF "LILO & STITCH."
HE RUNS TO NEW YORK TO AUDITION WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING.
>> James: IN THE CLIP THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO SEE --
>> I PLAY HIS AUNT. >> James: YOU YOUR NEPHEW NATE
SOME ACTING -- YOU GIVE YOUR NEPHEW NATE SOME ACTING ADVICE.
WHAT'S THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU RECEIVED IN YOUR ACTING
CAREER? >> JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET
SOMETHING, ONE DOOR CLOSES AND ANOTHER DOOR ALWAYS OPENS.
MY HUSBAND SAID THE BEST THING RECENTLY.
PEOPLE SAY WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME.
HE SAID, NO SUCH THING. IT'S ALWAYS PERFECT PLACE
PERFECT TIME. >> James: GLORIOUS PIECE OF
ADVICE.
