00:00If you could swap characters with one of your castmates, who would it be?
00:03I always was like I wanted to play adult Natalie.
00:06Me too.
00:07She's a f***ing really wanted to.
00:08I would say adult Misty, so there you go.
00:10And your arc this season, ugh.
00:18She's a f***ing coos.
00:20You don't know the word coos?
00:21No.
00:22It's one of the greatest words ever on earth.
00:23It means like dirty vagina.
00:24It's like c***, my other favorite word.
00:26Wow.
00:27What was your first impression of c***?
00:29Well I was obsessed with you in Book Thief and I remember I was stalking you on Instagram
00:32and I was like so jealous of you because you're so pretty and I had a crush on that boy in
00:38it.
00:39That's so weird to say that.
00:40What boy?
00:41Rudy.
00:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:43But I saw it because we were the same age.
00:44I was just doing theater at the time and I was like wow, this girl is really doing it.
00:48This is really cool.
00:49We've known each other since we were teenagers.
00:52My first impression of you was that you were very, very cool.
00:55I was not though.
00:57I also think you were, but that was my impression of you because I just felt so dorky.
01:02I thought you were like the definition of an artist and I was like, I think she's the
01:09coolest but I also feel like we are polar opposites and I was like, I still think you're
01:14the coolest but I still think we're like, we're very different, but like I love that
01:19about you.
01:20Sometimes I sit and I can't understand a word you're saying because it's so foreign to me
01:23but I'm like, this is amazing.
01:25This is probably what I should sound like but I can't.
01:28Shush it.
01:29Shush it.
01:30I'm like, is that a compliment?
01:31No, it is.
01:32All of your references are like the coolest people probably to everyone and I just don't
01:36know them and then I like get home and I have to Google who you're talking about.
01:39No, no, no, no, no.
01:41Are you two in love?
01:42Rawr.
01:43We're good.
01:44I was very impressed because I loved Heavenly Creatures so much.
01:48We just figured out today that that's when we met at the premiere of But I'm a Cheerleader
01:54and I did go up to Melanie and gush about how much I loved Heavenly Creatures.
01:58And I just love everything that you've ever done and I think you're so brilliant.
02:02I don't remember the first time I met you.
02:04I can't remember.
02:05It's really strange.
02:06That's because we were already connected in Apostler.
02:08I feel like maybe it was at the soccer practice and I was like, oh, you were like the only
02:12other one that like seemed athletic to me.
02:14Yeah.
02:15You seemed like you had your shit together.
02:16Yeah.
02:17And I was like, you're the opposite of that.
02:23I always feel condescending when I compliment people, so I'm fighting through that.
02:27I feel like you two just complimented each other a lot, actually.
02:30I think with both of you guys, you guys never really have dishonest moments on camera.
02:35You guys are both really amazing scene partners.
02:37I get so happy when I have tiny moments with either of you two.
02:43You're so present.
02:45You're just so there.
02:47Tell them what you've been up to with Jackie.
02:50You're a great listener.
02:51You're so f***ing there.
02:52You're so good at listening and that's the most important thing.
02:55And you are just so, just no dishonesty.
02:59And I can sense myself when I'm bullshitting and I'm like, oh, we have to go back.
03:02But like, no bullshit.
03:04You're so talented.
03:05She'll take the simplest line and all of a sudden imbue it with so much history and meaning
03:11and weight and it's crazy.
03:14I always think it's a throwaway line and I'm like, oh no, apparently it's not.
03:17I think this stuff is for bisexuals and goths.
03:20You're someone I can learn a lot from in like all of the best ways and like you've made
03:25me grow maybe the most and like have been like a safe space for me to like-
03:31Absolutely safe space.
03:32Yeah.
03:33Yeah.
03:34Yeah.
03:35And you felt, I mean, first season, you felt like an older sister.
03:37Like you helped me so much.
03:38Everyone was f***ing going through it, but first season you helped me so much.
03:41I feel like I'm so inspired by you.
03:43Like every time I have a day with you, I'm like, I think I could be a bit stronger.
03:47Like-
03:48I'm always joking that we're going to switch personalities because I identify as the c***
03:52and she's the nicest person on earth and I'm always like, watch out, we're going to switch
03:56one day guys.
03:57No one's going to know what's happening.
03:59I also don't think you're a C-U-N-T.
04:02I don't think that at all, but you have really good boundaries and it's something that is
04:06still a struggle for me.
04:07I'm really, really impressed by it.
04:09And I also just love, love, love your relationship with Freddie, her son.
04:15It's so-
04:16Well, you have such an amazing relationship with Cahi.
04:18I know, I love her so much.
04:19And you're such a good mother.
04:20You're such a good mother.
04:21But you're like good at like structure and routine and who knows when we're eating at
04:27my house.
04:28Well, we do know when we're eating at my house.
04:31You are one of the most, I feel like this is going to surprise you, but you're one of
04:34the most reliable people I know.
04:37I don't necessarily mean you're going to text back right away.
04:39It'll be like months later.
04:41But like if I actually need you, if I'm like, whether it's, hey, can you help me with the
04:46tape or hey, I need your advice.
04:48You will always pick up the phone and you'll always show up.
04:52And that's not something that can be said about a lot of people.
04:56I really-
04:58I love you.
04:59We're not like, I love you too.
05:00We're not like hang out all the time friends, but I still feel close to you and like I can
05:03rely on you.
05:04And that means a lot.
05:05You're such a good f***ing actor, Sophie.
05:07So ridiculously good.
05:09It's, it's, it's f***ed.
05:12I'm still team give you an Emmy retroactively from last season.
05:18It's coming.
05:19Dude, you killed Companion.
05:22I'm very excited to see it.
05:24What a hard part to play.
05:26Yeah, it was impossible.
05:27Who had the best on set style?
05:36Who shows up on set looking the best?
05:37Well, it's not me.
05:39It's not me.
05:40I show up in my sweats.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Thatcher shows up in like dresses.
05:43Yeah, you look great.
05:44I know.
05:45I actually did.
05:46How do I look good dressed at 4.50 in the morning?
05:48I don't understand.
05:49I usually sleep in the outfit.
05:50Are you joking?
05:51I'm not joking.
05:52Because I wake up exactly at my call time.
05:55Yeah, of course.
05:56I don't do anything in the morning.
05:57I just get up.
05:58Yeah.
05:59I want as much sleep as possible.
06:00So I'll sleep in my outfit.
06:01I wish I could follow Sophie Thatcher for a day and like be like a fly on the wall.
06:04Because I feel like our lives are like completely folded.
06:08I'm like my clothes is folded by like my bedside.
06:10I know.
06:11You don't want to see my hotel room.
06:13Okay, that's funny because it's in conflict with you dropping and spilling all the food
06:16you've ever held in your room.
06:18I do agree that you have the best style.
06:20A second would be Elijah.
06:22Oh my God.
06:23Because Elijah does show up in his little outfits.
06:26I've never seen him on set though.
06:28It's so stylish.
06:29First thing in the morning.
06:30He's stylish and he's wide awake.
06:32Wide awake for sure.
06:33I don't understand.
06:34Wide awake?
06:35You're like, oh, I'm awake.
06:38I just never feel as awake as...
06:39No, I'm never as awake as Elijah is.
06:42If your castmate was an animal, what animal would they be?
06:45God.
06:46I feel like it.
06:47I mean, you always talk about wanting to f*** that one cat.
06:50Oh my God.
06:51No.
06:52I'm weird.
06:53There's this cat that she said was sexy that wears a cowboy hat.
06:55Is that his name?
06:56So hopefully I say cat.
06:58I don't...
06:59Oh my God.
07:00I have a cat that I think is really hot.
07:02If you were a cat.
07:03If you were a cat, of course.
07:04If I was a cat, what would be...
07:06So Archer would be like a...
07:08We actually...
07:09A ferret?
07:10Oh, f*** me.
07:11Okay, that's fine.
07:12That's fine.
07:13I feel like you're more of a lioness.
07:14Like, look at her.
07:15No.
07:16That's a play on my dreams.
07:17That's a play on it.
07:18No.
07:19I don't think ferret, but I don't work with her as often.
07:21Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:22Exactly.
07:23On set, I'm a ferret.
07:25Yeah.
07:26They're so sweet.
07:27They're awful.
07:28What do you mean?
07:29What is Melanie?
07:30Koalas.
07:31Not koalas, but they all have syphilis.
07:33What?
07:34Just so you know.
07:35No, chlamydia.
07:36How do you know that?
07:38Because when I was 10 years old on a press tour, I had to go to Australia and all of
07:42a sudden I had no idea what was happening.
07:44I had to swim with dolphins, all of a sudden be in a bathing suit, and they took me to
07:46a place where I had to hold a koala.
07:48And as they handed me the koala, my mother went, oh my God, they're all really vicious
07:54they hate people and they all have chlamydia.
07:56And she left.
07:57So, take that.
07:58Oh.
07:59It's true.
08:00Right?
08:01But it's true.
08:02No koala for Melanie.
08:03I'm terrified of koalas.
08:04Who would be the most likely to resort to violence in the wilderness?
08:07Hmm.
08:08I've had to prevent myself from ramming Teslas all week long, so I'd like to nominate myself
08:14as the most violent amongst us.
08:17I have a lot of rage.
08:19I don't believe it, koala.
08:21I don't know.
08:22I'm not very violent.
08:23No, I feel like you're actually as sweet and pure as you seem.
08:26Yes, she is.
08:27You're not presenting in a way that's a lie.
08:29I think it's genuine.
08:30I hope not.
08:31No, I don't think I could hit.
08:33I don't think I could hit.
08:34You couldn't hit someone?
08:35I don't think so.
08:36Why did I say that with judgment?
08:37I could hit someone so easily.
08:39I did slap a friend of mine in high school.
08:41Did they deserve that?
08:42Not really.
08:43It wasn't very nice.
08:44I was taking some things out on her.
08:46It was bad.
08:47I regret it.
08:48Sorry, Heather.
08:49She's still my friend.
08:50I'll slap Heather.
08:51No.
08:52Does she deserve it?
08:53She doesn't.
08:54She didn't then and she doesn't now.
08:55She did, but then she's too nice to say she didn't.
08:58I started taking Muay Thai so that I'd be more comfortable with punching people.
09:01Whoa.
09:02I'm kidding.
09:03I don't ever want to hesitate.
09:05Oh, you were doing a punch.
09:07Hey.
09:08You weren't even really.
09:09No, I'm really good.
09:10You're strong.
09:11She's very strong.
09:12Surprisingly.
09:13How many chin-ups can you do?
09:14I recently discovered I can do three chin-ups.
09:15I can do one-arm pull-ups, one-arm push-ups.
09:19Whoa.
09:21A one-arm pull-up?
09:22If you could swap characters with one of your castmates, who would it be?
09:26I always was like I wanted to play adult Natalie.
09:29Me too.
09:30She's the one I really wanted.
09:31I would say adult Misty, so there you go.
09:33And your arc this season.
09:35I watched some of the episodes.
09:37I'm not going to say anything, but you're amazing.
09:39It's so good.
09:40And your arc this season is so good.
09:41It's fun.
09:42I'm excited for people to see it.
09:43So good.
09:44I kind of want to play Steven this season.
09:46I love Steven.
09:48And he's remote from everyone.
09:49Kind of nice.
09:50Doing all this stuff.
09:51Get away from this.
09:53I think I would want to play Walter.
09:56That would have been my second.
09:58Just be like a sort of like nerdy little proper.
10:03Yeah, yeah, exactly.
10:04I think that would be fun.
10:05What about you?
10:06You know what?
10:07I would play Jeff.
10:08I was thinking Jeff.
10:10That was a great pass.
10:11But I don't think anyone can play him but Warren.
10:13I know.
10:14Imagine anyone else in that role.
10:16It wouldn't be as funny or moving.
10:18I know, but it would be fun to like do one episode where you were playing Jeff
10:21and it's never explained.
10:23Or me and him in a swap.
10:25What's a piece of media, book, music, movie that one of your castmates showed you
10:30that you love?
10:32Courtney's songs.
10:33Courtney's songs are phenomenal.
10:35So good.
10:36Without your songs.
10:37Oh, thank you.
10:38Oh, yes.
10:39Your songs are wonderful.
10:40We bonded over Tim Robinson, I think, for a second season.
10:42I think he should leave.
10:43Have you guys ever seen that?
10:44Oh, my God.
10:45He's the funniest person in comedy right now.
10:46He just dropped the trailer for a movie.
10:48Dirty.
10:49I met him at the Bright Eyes concert.
10:50Have you seen the trailer?
10:51Oh, my God.
10:52I'm his biggest fan.
10:53I housed Bright Eyes.
10:54They came for a concert.
10:55I went to see the show and I was like, where are you guys staying?
10:57And they were like, I don't know.
10:59I was like, come on.
11:01They were all, everybody, the managers, the roadies,
11:04everyone was asleep on the floor of my house.
11:07What?
11:08I used to be crazy.
11:10Key word, used to be.
11:12What kind of project would you want to act in together next?
11:15If it was us five.
11:17Us five?
11:18Dream cast for, dream project for us five.
11:20I know that you do a lot of animation.
11:22Coming up with this.
11:23You do a lot of voice work.
11:24What was that thing you and Elijah were telling me to?
11:26Oh, we did a thing called Over the Garden.
11:28Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:29It's so beautiful.
11:30Oh, you.
11:31The wonderful mistake of nature.
11:33I would love to do, like, voice work with everybody.
11:36Have you done voice work?
11:37I've never.
11:38That means you don't work with everybody.
11:40I've never done it.
11:41Can we just do, like, White Lotus and I'll take a trip?
11:43Okay, yeah, let's go to a hotel.
11:45Let's go to a fancy hotel.
11:47Maybe there's a season of Yellow Jackets where we're in a fever dream.
11:51At a luxury resort.
11:54What was the most difficult scene to shoot?
11:56I'll answer for you when you give birth.
11:58Oh.
11:59Well, me.
12:02Quick, quick, quick, quick.
12:04Well, we had to reshoot it.
12:06Oh, that's true.
12:07We did have to reshoot it.
12:08That was kind of annoying.
12:09It was kind of a slap in the face to you.
12:12It's fine.
12:13Out of every scene, too.
12:15Honestly, the most complicated scenes to shoot are the ones where we're, like, all in it.
12:19We all have one line.
12:20We all have one line and it takes forever.
12:22Like, when we used to, like, have to do fight sequences with, like, me and me beating up Courtney.
12:28Yeah.
12:29But, like, and then the whole escaping and, like, all of that when we're, like, all in the cabin.
12:33Oh, the first time you drew the card and had to run out.
12:35Yes!
12:36And then it was, like, everyone's reaction of, like, drawing the card.
12:39Oh, my God.
12:40Those were endless.
12:41We did one of those drawing, only one drawing the card scene.
12:44We shot it for two and a half days.
12:46It went on forever.
12:47Two and a half.
12:48Most of it was, like, cards.
12:49We ran this distance.
12:50Throwing cards in the fire.
12:51Right.
12:52Throwing cards in the fire.
12:53It was really annoying.
12:54Yeah.
12:55We're so grateful for our job.
12:56We know that.
12:57If you had to join another Castmates cult, whose would it be?
13:02Courtney's.
13:03Melanie's.
13:04Aw.
13:05It would be the Cult of Kindness.
13:06I would be sheltered by Melanie my whole life.
13:07It would be a boring cult.
13:08The Cult of Kindness.
13:09No, she would greet me with, like, she would run me baths and, like,
13:14always have the most, like, nicest smelling candles.
13:17Yeah.
13:18That probably is true.
13:19Always make sure I'm fed.
13:20She'd be, like, the best mom.
13:21Well, she's the best mom, so.
13:22Aw.
13:23Yeah, I want to be in Melanie's cult.
13:25That's very sweet.
13:27I'd be in your cult.
13:28We'd, like, run people down together.
13:30My cult would be basically my cult would be
13:34basically my cult is, like, do whatever feels good.
13:37That's all good.
13:38Mine was actually born into a mini cult, so I don't believe in rules.
13:41Holy s***.
13:47I think we have a kind of weird level of intimacy.
13:49I feel like often people try to, like, impose us activities for us to bond,
13:53and I'm like, we don't really need to.
13:55Like, we naturally.
13:56Even if we don't see each other all the time, it is just kind of that natural.
14:00Yeah.
14:01We're trauma bonded.
14:02I got a little bit emotional when you guys were giving each other compliments
14:05and saying all those sweet things.
14:07You're really not a girl.
14:09I'm not a girl.
14:10I don't have chlamydia, and I'm not going to scratch your eyes out.
14:13I'm not.
14:14You know what you are?
14:16You're a ladybug.
14:17You are a ladybug.
14:19That's the nicest possible.
14:21That's so sweet.
14:22You're a ladybug, and ladybugs, by the way, are my special sign.
14:24And everyone loves ladybugs.
14:25Whenever I see a ladybug, it's, like, a really good omen,
14:27and whenever I see you, it's a really good omen.
14:29I like that.
14:30I love the ladybugs.
14:31That's true.
14:32You're a ladybug who doesn't pee on my hand.
14:34Do they pee?
14:35Still time.
14:36Thanks for testing our friendship today, Glamour.
14:38We'll see you another time.
14:40Thank you for testing our friendship today, Glamour.
14:43We'll see you another time.
14:46Can I ask you a question, though?
14:48What's going to happen next season?
