Please welcome, Linda Cardellini.
Hello.
Hi.
Hey.
Hi.
Thanks.
This show is so good.
It's so good to see you.
You haven't been on the show--
14 years ago you were promoting Brokeback Mountain.
And Liz, who created this show, was a writer
on the show at that time.
And now here she is creating this brilliant show
that you're in.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
It's nice to see you, too.
So I heard that there's-- everybody is trying to catch up
on all kinds of movies and re-watching things.
I heard you and your daughter watched Finding Dory recently.
Yeah, we did.
Well, I am--
I have a hard time with animated movies sometimes.
But as soon as Dory sort of lost her family
in the very beginning, we had to check out,
because it was making me a little too emotional.
My daughter often looks at me and is like, mom,
are you crying?
And I'll be the only one crying at the movie.
Well, but then it gets--
there's, you know, it's good.
Yes, it's good.
There's a closure to it.
It definitely does.
But I had to sort of like, as soon
as [INAUDIBLE] little voice asking
if they'd seen your parents.
And I'm very-- ugh, I could just--
it was too much.
Too much.
How old is your daughter?
She's just turned eight.
Oh, that's very sweet.
I know Christina's daughter is--
She loves you.
How old?
Christina's daughter is how old?
A year older.
Oh, OK.
Because she's constantly stealing Christina's phone
to talk to me.
So.
Oh, if you were on my phone, it'd be over for you.
You would never be able to stop talking to my daughter.
She would call you all the time.
We had to like hold her somewhere downstairs
so that she doesn't come in.
Well, tell her hello for me.
I will.
So you've been watching game shows
and using it as education, I understand.
We're deep in the homeschooling, which
I have to say is maybe my most challenging role.
But we-- you know, and I love Wheel Of Fortune.
I'm like a huge game show person.
So sometimes I just convince her that that's time for spelling,
and we do some Wheel Of Fortune playing.
It does count as spelling.
I think that's very smart of you.
And you get to see Vanna White's lovely gowns every, too.
That's a bonus.
Right.
And isn't it true that she never wears the same one
twice, or something like that?
Yeah, I think that's true.
That's true.
As opposed to me, who hasn't changed clothes in two months.
Oh, I feel like I just got out of my Halloween pajamas
for the first time in a while.
Yeah.
Well, thanks for dressing up.
Thank you.
So you have any quarantine goals?
That-- a lot of people are setting goals.
What are yours?
I do.
I have a-- we do a lot of jump rope in my house,
so I have a quarantine goal that I
will learn to do double dutch, because I've always
wanted to know how to do it.
So we bought two ropes.
But the problem is that my daughter is about four feet
and her father is about six feet,
and trying to get the ropes to go at the same time.
It turns out it's a little dangerous for mom.
Wow, yeah.
Jump rope is very hard.
Especially when you do it for a long time, it's very hard.
Yeah, yeah.
It's good exercise.
It's good for my brain.
Yeah.
Well, any kind of breathing, that's
all that we need right now, is deep breathing.
So let's talk about Dead To Me.
Because, oh my God, it is so, so good.
And this season--
I mean, I was like, after every episode
I was texting with Christina because I just love it so much.
And texting with Liz.
It's so good.
Thank you.
I'm going to give you my number so you can text me and tell me,
too.
Because they [AUDIO OUT]
OK, I'll text you, as well.
I'll text you, as well.
No, we're lucky.
It's really a great show to work on.
And Liz, as you know, and she loves you so much,
but she's so talented.
And so is Christina.
The set is just an amazing place to work.
Because it's really very funny.
And James Marsden is fantastic.
You're fantastic.
And there's so many plot twists and--
like when you all of a sudden realized
who the person that you get together with,
who the roommate is.
And then the way it all wraps up and how-- but what an
ending to this season.
Like, it's really--
I can't wait to see where it goes now I'm so like--
where do we go now?
I'm glad.
No, I know.
Liz is so great, and all the writers
are so great at creating all these sort of turns and twists.
And there's-- I mean there's like,
it's just a minefield of spoilers, I think.
The whole show.
So when people ask me to talk about it,
I never know what to say, because I
don't want to blow something that is fun to discover.
Oh, wow.
So I think it starts--
it's available this Friday on Netflix,
but I got it ahead of time so I've watched the whole season.
And I'm sad now, because I used to look forward to like the--
we would binge watch like two in a row every night.
But anyway, I can't wait for everybody to watch it.
And if they haven't watched it, they
should start from season one, because it's such a great show.
It's called Dead To Me, it's on Netflix, and as I said,
it's available Friday.
Good talking to you, Linda.
Thank you.
Nice to see you.
