brand new horror film Sleigh on two

00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.960
and I am excited that you're hanging
out with me once again for all

8
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:43.960
things pop culture. This episode is
a fun one because it is all about

9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:50.679
the brand new horror film Sleigh on
to B. What's interesting and unique about

10
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.399
this horror film is it stars some
real queens. And when I say that,

11
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.960
I mean, of course, drag
queens. And so today I talk

12
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.719
with Heidi Closet and Crystal Method,
who star in the film. The log

13
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:11.519
line for Sleigh says, for drag
queens booked at the wrong venue managed to

14
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:17.319
win over an unfriendly crowd when they
become the Dive Bars defenders against a vampire

15
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.280
attack. It is a really fun, funny horror movie. You know,

16
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:26.239
I love horror I love my horror. I love my bad hearror, love

17
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.799
my good horror, I love amazing
horror. I love all kinds of horror

18
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:36.400
for you know reasons. This is
very campy, very funny, It's got

19
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:42.280
some incredible kills. It is also
very smart, and there's a social commentary

20
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:48.000
going on there too that I really
enjoy. I sometimes like some social commentary

21
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.920
in my horror, and Sleigh doesn't
disappoint. In fact, you know,

22
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.519
it's really really great. You know, I highly recommend you see it.

23
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:04.359
I can't wait till you hear my
interviews with two of the queens of Sleigh

24
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.079
and then let me know what you
think when you watch it. On to

25
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.039
be so, without further ado,
let's just hop right into it, all

26
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:15.800
right, here's my interview with Heidi
and Closet and Crystal Method. Thank you

27
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.199
both for joining me. I really
appreciate it. Okay, thank you for

28
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.120
having us. How are you I'm
doing well? Thank you? How are

29
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:31.599
you blessed and holly favored and a
movie star stars? You're ready for midnight?

30
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:38.240
How exciting? How excited are you? I would say about a twenty

31
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.680
out of ten for sure, like
just bubbling over, like ecstatic like,

32
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.439
oh, we were just talking to
someone else and they said they'd seen the

33
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.639
movie already and we were like,
what, We're like done for this?

34
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:54.840
Yes, yes, I saw a
screener of it and it is amazing as

35
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.879
I expected it to be. I
can't wait for everybody to see it.

36
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:01.879
For both of you, you know, well, first of all, I

37
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:06.840
got to ask I heard that there
was a funny drag moment earlier today.

38
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.360
Yes, we both showed up not
in drag today. Yes, I just

39
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.479
got turned to a vampire and we're
waiting to do Heide's naka yeah later,

40
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.360
So that's what's going on. That's
what's happening today. After someone, a

41
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.120
great late person once told me we're
all born naked and the rest is drag.

42
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:35.400
So technically I'm in drag. Technically. I love that. I love

43
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:39.520
that. What I what I find
really interesting about this film on a deeper

44
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:47.080
level, actually is that traditionally,
you know, and I'm kind of stereotyping

45
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:58.879
here, but the who your characters
are kind of forced to defend yourselves with

46
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:03.960
are people that what you would think
stereotypically not be accepting of the culture.

47
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:12.080
And I thought that that was very
poignant because it's almost like, well,

48
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.160
when you're in survival mode, do
you care about you know, how somebody

49
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.079
dresses or whatever. Is that something
that spoke to both of you, you

50
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:26.759
know when when making the film.
When thinking about doing the film, for

51
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:30.759
me, it really hit home.
I am a black gay man from the

52
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.639
South, so I've grew up being
in that kind of like I'm the different

53
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.879
person. I get treated differently and
this, that and the third. So

54
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:44.360
being able to be a part of
something that shows us though we're different in

55
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.079
a positive light and manner in helping
people, it really hit home for me.

56
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.160
I was like, this is great, this is beautiful. Yeah,

57
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:55.040
we're both from Red States and like
same for me. And that's one of

58
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.040
my favorite things about Dragging the first
place is I was always like really active

59
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.199
in my community because I feel like
once people just get to see you and

60
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.079
know you and like kind of have
an understanding of it, even though it's

61
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:10.279
like very creepy in the beginning,
they just are able to see you more

62
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.959
as a person. So that's like
exactly what happens in the film. You're

63
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.560
totally right, like in survival mode, we all doesn't matter where we're coming

64
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.959
from, what we look like what
we're doing. It's all about coming together

65
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:30.800
and making things work, making it
work. I love that. And you

66
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.519
know, watching the film another thing
that I think, and this again is

67
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.279
on kind of a deeper level in
my opinion. I was talking to Dewanda

68
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:46.120
Wise recently, who stars in Imaginary, a strong black woman, incredible actor,

69
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.600
and I talked to Elvira pretty much
every October for the show Who's you

70
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:59.480
know, the Queen of Halloween,
and with Dewanda and with Elvira. With

71
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.199
Elvira, her and I were talking
about how for a long time it was

72
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.360
like, just like Oscar so white, it was horror so white. And

73
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:14.879
especially in the last ten years or
so, there's been a marked shift in

74
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:19.560
in that. You know, now
you see all sorts of people represented in

75
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.879
horror. And for me, you
know, I'm a huge horror buff and

76
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:30.000
I think that horror is an excellent
place. It's almost like a safe place

77
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.040
for anybody, come as you are, and and audiences don't care, you

78
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:38.639
know, we just want a great
horror film or a can't be horror film,

79
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.360
or a bad horror film, like
it doesn't matter. We just love

80
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:47.360
horror, and so it's an awesome
place in my opinion for people to be

81
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:51.160
represented, and then you go see
it on a big, big on the

82
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.920
big screen, or you go see
you know, see the streaming exclusive film

83
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:02.920
or whatever it is, where you
know that hasn't always historically happened, and

84
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:09.720
horror in a lot of ways has
allowed that. Do you think that there

85
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.120
is a correlation there with horror and
underrepresentative communities for you, like, are

86
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:21.560
you seeing that shift as people in
underrepresented communities? Traditionally? I would say

87
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.879
so yeah. Growing up definitely,
I saw it was very, very very

88
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.759
why is for sure? And seeing
such the thing is the world doesn't care

89
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.800
if you're black, if you're wif
if you're gay, if you're not.

90
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:40.160
The world is going that things are
going to happen in the world. We

91
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:43.439
all going to go through stripes and
struggles and stuff, and I think Horror

92
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:47.680
exemplifies that to the max really,
And it's now that it's shifting to showing

93
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.000
that everyone goes through these same struggles. People can see like, hey,

94
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.600
we're all not that different because we
all go through these same struggles. And

95
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:01.160
I think that like queer people have
this really this love of horror, and

96
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:07.199
so it's cool to have this movie
that kind of highlights queer people. But

97
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.240
for everyone it's very like Tu Wong
Foblea, like it's really can't be still,

98
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:18.279
but there's still all of those like
shocking, like all the fun stuff

99
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.160
you still want in a good horror
movie. So yeah, it's just like

100
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.680
horror so unifying. Chris is crazy
because it scares me so much. I'm

101
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.960
a big scaredy cat myself, so
I'm really thrilled about it. Are you

102
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.639
a horror fan? I am.
I'm more the type like I have to

103
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:41.879
have people to protect me to watch
horror very that, but I will watch.

104
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:45.519
I'm very much the person I'm thank
you. I'm the person that talks

105
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.360
in the theater to the thing don't
go very brenda from us scary, but

106
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:54.480
we don't go through that. That's
me terrified by them as well. And

107
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.840
then you have creators like I mean
Jordan Peele, who is one of my

108
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:05.759
absolute faith favorites, who is empowering
uh traditionally underrepresented people to you know,

109
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.039
besides his own incredible work uh and
to me he's he's already a legend with

110
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.639
with the films that he's done,
but he's empowering and giving a voice to

111
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.159
other underrepresented people, uh in his
space too. And it's like if Jordan

112
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.840
Peele is, you know, endorsing, you like, the industry is gonna

113
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:30.000
pay attention. And I think it's
so important. And I also think a

114
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:35.840
film like Slay where it is universal
in so many ways, you know,

115
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.679
and you can go and watch it
and laugh and be scared, and but

116
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:46.279
it also has some social commentary,
like it's very smart, and I love

117
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.480
that about Sleigh, you know,
self aware. Yeah, we love intellectual

118
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.519
we love we might not be very
intellectual, but we love intellectual humor for

119
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.639
sure. Yes. And when I
when I when I'm with Intel actuals and

120
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.039
they're joking, I just laugh because
even if I don't know what they're saying,

121
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.360
you know, I'm just like,
oh ha, and then I google

122
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:11.320
it later. You know. How
fun was it to make this? I

123
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:18.039
mean, because you know your performers, you know, by trade anyway,

124
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.240
but this is like, in my
opinion, you know, is like a

125
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:28.039
different kind of performance. I would
think where you know you're playing, you're

126
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:31.200
not playing to an audience that's necessarily
there in front of you. You are

127
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.440
not you know, I would assume
most of it was scripted, if not

128
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.559
all of it, uh, and
it seems like it's just a different avenue.

129
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:45.639
So how how was that for you
to do like a feature film like

130
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:50.919
this? It was like that is
the biggest difference is like normally when we're

131
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.480
performing, there's people right there to
be like, wow, good job,

132
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.440
whereas like when you're acting to the
d there's no one there to tell you

133
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.480
that was good and tell you're like
and then you've already done. So I'm

134
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:03.960
like, well, I hope it
was. It was so great because our

135
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:07.080
director Jim, like, I feel
like, you know, they wrote the

136
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.320
script, they had a really good
handle on everything. They like guided us

137
00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:13.960
and told us exactly how they wanted
things to be. And so I also

138
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.159
feel like we could kind of feel
the energy. It's almost like an energy

139
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.559
in the room like things were going
well. It's like, oh, this

140
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.440
is going great. And then when
we're just like you know, hot boo

141
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.159
boo messing and can't get through the
lines because we're laughing too much, you

142
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:33.360
know, we knew. So was
there a lot of fun on set?

143
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.960
So honestly, I had some of
the best times. I'll say, like

144
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.360
our lunch, our lunch breaks,
my conversation. Yes, I just it

145
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.519
was just really fun to have,
you know, for drag queens highlighted as

146
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.320
the stars of the show, you
know, number one on the trailer,

147
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.840
you know, like just to be
treated like superstars into like just have fun

148
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:58.639
with the crew. And I think
if everyone was so kind and everyone was

149
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.080
so like uh, I think it
was that we were all there to make

150
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.559
magic, and I think we all
understood that, and I think that's why

151
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.399
we all had such a great time
doing it, because we're like, we're

152
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.360
all here just having a good time
and making something incredible, so let's just

153
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.200
do it to the best and have
a good time while doing it. Yeah,

154
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.399
I think some I think some of
the people were expecting the queens to

155
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.679
be like divas, which sometimes maybe
we were. I feel like for the

156
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.720
most part, it was like very
chill, and for sure it was.

157
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.200
It was very good energy and very
just a fun environment to be in.

158
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:35.720
How different is it for you?
You know, And again I'm I'm assuming

159
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.559
I've never done drag, but I
you know, vendor shows and all,

160
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:45.519
and so I'm assuming like when you're
performing on a stage like you you have

161
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:50.240
to be on and you know there
is a live audience there and you're feeding,

162
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.600
feeding off of their energy and and
I'm sure that drives you even more.

163
00:12:54.639 --> 00:13:00.159
And all, how is it when
you know you are having to do

164
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:03.200
like cuts and and that sort of
thing, you know, to or do

165
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:09.360
another take or whatever. Is it
hard to kind of uh put out that

166
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:16.720
performance when you're used to getting that
direct feedback, like immediate feedback. I

167
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.279
mean, I feel like it was
for me, but not for Heidi,

168
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:26.399
because Heidi is a star exacting.
She was like crying a single tear,

169
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:30.919
like only like real actresses can do. I was feeling, honestly, when

170
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.960
we were filming, I was feeling
my whole fantasy onset. It was because

171
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.120
I feel like when you're performing in
front of people, there is like that

172
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.679
instant gratification and instant like you feel
the energy, you can bounce it back

173
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.600
and you're very like you got to
be on it. And when we're filming,

174
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:48.960
you have to be within that character
and you have to feel what that

175
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.240
character would feel, and you have
to you have to react in a way

176
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.679
that that person would react, and
how to be okay with jumping into the

177
00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:01.519
character and that out in and out. Yes, So yeah, that was

178
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.080
a difficult part for me. It
was fun being able to just like,

179
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.559
Okay, I have to cry.
Now, let's let's do it. Let's

180
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:15.440
cry. Did you ever in your
early lives did you ever imagine, you

181
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.799
know that one day you would be
and you know, not just on TV,

182
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.879
but now on in a feature film, Like did that ever? Was

183
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.759
that ever like, yeah, I'm
going to do that or did you just

184
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:31.120
kind of go for the ride and
and here we are in a big horror

185
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.840
movie? Well? Yes, of
course. Honestly for me personally, I

186
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.840
did. Growing up. I was
like, I feel like I'm meant to

187
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.519
do something bigger then because I lived
in a very small town. So I

188
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.039
was like, there has to be
more to the the world than this.

189
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.200
And I was like I meant to
do something. I didn't know what it

190
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.879
was. It definitely did. I
didn't think it was going to be did

191
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:56.440
you cross dressing for Jesus? All
these many years? But here we are

192
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.519
and it took me to a horror
film and all these other great things.

193
00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:03.639
I think that, Yeah, like
as a drag queen, you have to

194
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:07.840
be delusional enough to think that like
you're a star and that you're like we're

195
00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:11.639
met for something. It's like base
requirements. So I always did want to

196
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:16.120
be I don't think I ever saw
myself in a horror movie. I just

197
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.480
saw myself in like a rom com. But you did have some romance.

198
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.440
I did have a little bit of
romance. But no, yeah, this

199
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.360
is like I didn't realize I was
wanted to be an actress until it We

200
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.039
were done with this movie and I
was like, oh, I want to

201
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.200
do that again. I would have
done it again too. I was like,

202
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.840
oh my god, I have so
much fun. This is like incredible.

203
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.440
I love that. And you know, as you're filming, you know,

204
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:45.639
now obviously it's raps getting ready to
premiere. When you saw the final

205
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:48.240
cut, what like, what were
you thinking, Like, were you like,

206
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.320
holy crap, Like that's me.
We haven't we have a Yeah,

207
00:15:54.919 --> 00:16:00.840
we're gonna see it with our two
V accounts. We are so stream we

208
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.200
were gonna watch it tonight. So
wow, Okay, that's super, that's

209
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.720
awesome. So you have no idea. We're just going off the trailer.

210
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.799
We're just going off the trailer looks
like we looked really good. So I

211
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:15.799
thought the trailer was lovely. The
trailer is I do, and the film

212
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.639
is I'm telling you, I really
loved it. And so do you have

213
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.759
any special plans for tonight You're getting
popcorn or vodka or what's going on?

214
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.120
Probably I might see if a couple
of my friends want to come over and

215
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:34.480
just like watch us hamper down and
watch a scary movie together, popping that

216
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:40.879
popcorn. I'm going to Vegas's going
I'm gonna take a break from gambling and

217
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:45.360
tipping the strippers to watch my new
film of course streaming where on TV.

218
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.360
I cannot believe that, Like,
you're so nonchalant about this. You're like,

219
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.120
I might, you know, I'll
take a break from tipping the strippers

220
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.480
and watch my film. Or oh, she's kind of a legend, she's

221
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:04.519
kind of an icon. But and
even and even you heardi like, you

222
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:10.319
know, oh, I'll probably call
some friends Like what like you weren't like

223
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.200
like a month ago, Like okay, on this day, you are not

224
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:18.200
doing anything because we're watching my freaking
movie that's premiering, Like how are you

225
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:21.799
so nonchalant? I should have been
like that? Probably, Like maybe drag

226
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:25.400
queens aren't very good planners. We
have to have people plan for us,

227
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.799
and then we're more executors than planners. We you know, Okay, all

228
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:37.559
right, what what was the most
fun moment for both of you on set?

229
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.400
My fight scene, I would say
was probably my favorite time all set.

230
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:45.039
I really got to get in there
because I wanted it to look real.

231
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.599
I was like, look, I
talked to the people who we were

232
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.880
fighting. I was like, look, throw me, let's we're gonna do

233
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:59.039
it. Let's do it go and
we did. I was living well.

234
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:03.519
I I really didn't like get to
be behind the camera to like watch that

235
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.440
much. And so there's one day
when I got to just watch some of

236
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.759
Trinity's scenes and I was just like, I can't believe this is real.

237
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:14.119
Like I was like, I'm so
glad that I was one of the first

238
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.440
people that got to see this,
right. I still have some footage on

239
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.359
my phone from getting a couple of
records and stuff. I'm like, ah,

240
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.839
so that's why I'm so excited to
see the final product, because like

241
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.400
I remember all the all the magic
in my mouth, the bar. I

242
00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:32.279
just want to see it all come
together. Because we also film out of

243
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.039
order too, so it's like we
don't feel from start to finish. So

244
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.119
it was like one day we're at
the end of the movie and the next

245
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.160
day we're back to the top,
and I'm like, okay, well,

246
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.720
we don't even know where these go, right, It's gonna be nice to

247
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:45.640
see them. It's gonna be nice
to see them flow from one to the

248
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:52.400
other. So are I mean,
uh, and this is sort of tongue

249
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.319
in cheek, but like you are
officially screen queens now? Yes? Yeah,

250
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:03.920
we are just like ever Robert,
Oh, Like are we? I

251
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:11.640
mean you are the stars of a
horror film. You know that that automatically

252
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.640
makes you scream queens? And then
I think I think technically now you could

253
00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:21.319
be the queens of the screen queen. Yeah, oh my god. That

254
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:30.240
is going in my little bio on
all my platforms. What was the wrap

255
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:34.079
like for you? Like, when
you were done, were you like exhausted,

256
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.839
exhilarated, all of the above?
Were you like, you know,

257
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:44.359
I just shot a freaking horror movie. It was really just getting right back

258
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.319
to work. Honestly, we had
I had to go do some shows back

259
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:53.079
in the States, and so I
think it's the actual rap party. It

260
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:57.759
was nice stunt double Yeah, we
shut down without Crystal. She left just

261
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:02.440
a couple of days early. When
I wrapped, it was it was just

262
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:04.319
a lot of emotions. It was
a lot of all. It was.

263
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.400
It was very much like because we
kind of became really close knit because you're

264
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.200
you're surrounded by these people for like
the amount of time that you're filming,

265
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.160
and that's all the people really you're
seeing for that most amount of time.

266
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.799
So it's like, yeah, you
become close and you and all of a

267
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:18.720
sudden it's over. It's like,
oh, it's kind of sad. I

268
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.519
remember I was crying on my final
night. I was like, on my

269
00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:26.599
last day on set, my heel
broke, right, it was a sign

270
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.119
I remember that. WHOA. I
was like, it knew you were perfect

271
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:41.599
time you were uh for And I'm
being spoiler free. Traditionally in so many

272
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:47.200
horror films there it always, you
know, ultimately ends up becoming a franchise,

273
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:51.680
whether it's you know, a prequel
or a sequel or reimagining or you

274
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:57.400
know, set in the same universe. Is there possibilities for Sleigh to or

275
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:06.319
Sleigh Harder or whatever. We fully
were on set being like, come up

276
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:07.960
with ideas for the name of the
sequel. We're like, so we're getting

277
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.599
a sequel, right, So we
were convinced the entire you couldn't tell us

278
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.200
we weren't get a sequel already,
so we're like, we're definitely getting one

279
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:21.640
Zombies where we thought of it all, we got storyline, plot lines.

280
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:26.920
The name of the is was Slay
Another another day, Another day, Another

281
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:36.200
Sleigh. That's where we came to. I absolutely love it. Thank you

282

can't wait for everybody to see Sleigh exclusively

283
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:47.240

we expect next from both of you?

298
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:02.359
it's a great film that you can
watch exclusively on to Be. And

299
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:10.799
by the way, let's not forget
that end. There's always an opportunity to

300
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.720
slay again, and I really hope
that they do do that because you know,

301
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:19.759
it's just a great team, great
cast, very smart, very funny,

302
00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:26.640
and it's so enjoyable. So hit
me up, go see Sleigh,

303
00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:29.839
watch slayh on to be. Let
me know what you think about it.

304
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.599
I want to discuss it. I
want to know what you think, and

305
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.480
let's talk sligh in pop culture.
