Jessica Capshaw
Capshaw and Camille Ludington, an iHeartRadio podcast. Hello, hello, hello, hello.
Camilla Luddington
Call It Crew. And welcome to another episode of Short and Sweet, brought to you by BMW.
Jessica Capshaw
So we asked the Call It Crew, what is your go to comfort movie or TV show? Yeah, before we get to the submissions.
Camilla Luddington
Okay. Well, I had to think about this because, like, I didn't want to say Grey's Anatomy. And to be honest, Grey's Anatomy was. But then when you're living it and you're actually in the midst of the drama where things are like, you know, everyone's dying or it's like it's not a comfort show anymore because you feel like you're watching a documentary of your life. But I think a comfort movie for me, not something I can put on all the time, but I. The wizard of Oz, like, if it's on, it's on on a Sunday or whatever. And it's. It always just like, is. It's like a warm hug from my childhood.
Jessica Capshaw
I love that. Okay, my answer is going to make me sound like I live in the Wagon Wheel days.
Camilla Luddington
You did.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, you know, call it what it is.
Camilla Luddington
Yeah.
Jessica Capshaw
What.
Camilla Luddington
What silent movie was it just.
Jessica Capshaw
It's annoying how fast you are.
Camilla Luddington
Is this just a picture?
Jessica Capshaw
It's annoying. It's annoying sometimes. If you didn't make me laugh so hard, I'd really, really, really. This wouldn't work. Anyways, sorry.
Camilla Luddington
What is your.
Jessica Capshaw
My comfort.
Camilla Luddington
Yes.
Jessica Capshaw
I think I said Wagon Wheel for a reason. I watched. It's being rebooted.
Camilla Luddington
House on the Prairie. Oh, you're lying.
Jessica Capshaw
Okay. I was very, very young. I was very, very, very, very young. And I actually think this is a very endearing part of Bob Capshaw and I, I do, I really do, is that, you know, my parents got divorced when I was very, very young. And I think that. I think that he put it on as sort of like a comforting, a.
Camilla Luddington
True wholesome sort of show.
Jessica Capshaw
Like, your mother's not here, but we have Little House on the Prairie. It was. I was very, very young and I remember truly being sat in front of it and I just would watch Little House on the Prairie. But then, because, again, because of aforementioned divorce, I Would then watch three's Company.
Camilla Luddington
Well, what is it now as an adult? Like, what is as an adult?
Jessica Capshaw
Well, now I'm telling you, clearly I belabor every point because I'm an over talker and I would take you through the generations of my comfort. I can't just pick one. And now I feel that my comfort shows probably have more to do with my kids. Like, I truly don't think I've ever watched any Disney movie more than Tangled. I've seen that movie, so. Oh, my gosh. Well, that and Moana and no unfrozen. So Tangled. Moana, Frozen. I've seen them so many times and I could watch them over and over and over again and still laugh at every joke as though I'd never heard it before.
Camilla Luddington
Tangled is very funny. It's very good. It's really good.
Jessica Capshaw
And the music, it's great. It's great.
Camilla Luddington
Do you know what I just realized? I'm gonna take back my answer. No, my answer still stands. It's the wisdom of Oz is on. Yes. But my daughter Hayden, she's sort of like into, you know, the. She's into the Harry Potter sort of. She's eight. And so I was like, maybe she would like Sabrina the teenage witch. That was my. I love that show from the 90s with Melissa Joan Hart. And so then Hayden, I watched one episode and she's in like, she loves it. She loves Salem the cat. She thinks the romance with Harvey, so cute and funny. And I have started watching it with her once in a while and it's so. It brings me back. Like, I get like, oh, my God. I love the fashion. I love the, like, the everything. She's wearing her little chokers. I'm telling you, some of that fashion could. I wish it all came back.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Yeah. But now I watch my girls and I have to say I see how.
Camilla Luddington

Jessica Capshaw

Camilla Luddington

Jessica Capshaw

Camilla Luddington
Gilmore. I think I need to start the Gilmore Girls. I saw an interview with Kristen Stewart where she was like, my fiance told me to watch the Gilmore Girls. And she started literally just recently and she's in. So I feel like maybe I'm. Maybe I'm ready to watch it.
Jessica Capshaw
It's really good. It's really good. And I. It's so funny because I. I ran into Lauren Graham in New York City.
Camilla Luddington
As you do. See, this is what I love about Cap Shaw me. I'm Like I run into whoever it's, you would know their name because they're not super duper famous. And you just run into these people. I don't know how you run into them. Like, where are you running into them? You're laughing, but I'm serious. Like, I don't understand how that works. It's not like you have their location.
Jessica Capshaw
Well, I, I, I'd hide the horse to a, to his, his post. And I left the country and I went into the city, the big city, on a train.
Camilla Luddington
That poor horse, that poor horse. He misses you.
Jessica Capshaw
Yeah. Yeah. So I went into the city and I had a, I went to go have a drink with uni.
Camilla Luddington
Okay.
Jessica Capshaw
And I was sat there and I looked to my right and there was Lauren Graham. So I don't want to tell you.
