It's Chicks in the Office with Raeanne Fran giving you that Friday energy on a Friday. Happy Friday, everybody. Yeah, take. Today is an awesome episode that we are so, so excited to share with you guys. We have the one and only Kate Hudson on today's episode, which is really just a dream come true.
Raeanne Fran
Big time.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
One of our favorite actresses of all time, and we feel so honored that she took the time out of her press tour to. To sit with us. It was amazing.
Raeanne Fran
It really was. When we booked this, we were so excited because it's been. There were whispers for the last few weeks, and we were like, holy shit, if this actually works out, it's gonna be so sick. And when we got the confirmation, so exciting. I call my mom immediately, because I think my mom and I have watched how to Lose a guy in 10 days, like, 100 times. Like, it's just what. That was one of the movies that we watched together all the time. Um, and it was. It was just incredible to have her in the studio and get to talk with her, and she's amazing. Of course. I think everybody thought that about her already. It's amazing when you can confirm. Confirm that. That she's just so delightful. Noah's favorite movie is Almost Famous. So, you know, he got to have his. His fan moment, which has actually turned into maybe one. One of my favorite things that's happened to Noah this year. And my God, has Noah had a year. Like, not. That's a.
Noah (producer or guest)
A year. 24 hours. This p. We. You will get.
Raeanne Fran
No, I know, but I'm just saying a year as a whole. Like, you had an incredible year.
Noah (producer or guest)
A year as a whole. But this.
Raeanne Fran
And to end it this way, I.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Will say this is.
Noah (producer or guest)
We'll play the clip.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But my favorite thing to have happened to Noah, like, I. The way that I shared this clip. Yeah. When you sent it this morning, was like, you were my son.
Raeanne Fran
Y. I went down straight to my group chats.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Same. I went down my contact list. I sent it to all my family members. I was sending it in group chats that me and Noah are both in. Before Noah was sending it, I tried.
Noah (producer or guest)
To send it, and then I saw that you had already sent it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I was like, you guys gotta see this. You gotta see what's happening. So we'll play the clip.
Kate Hudson
Kate, this year marks the 25th anniversary of your breakthrough Oscar nominated role in Almost Famous.
Raeanne Fran
Your face. Your face was literally the movie poster. Do people still come up to you.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And call you Penny Lane?
Kate Hudson
All the time. As a matter of fact, I did a podcast yesterday, and the producer, that's the only poster he has in his house with my face. And you showed me.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I'm like, weird.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, no, I get that a lot, actually.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Just unbelievable. You know, we ended our interview giving a little nod to Noah about his favorite movie being Almost Famous. Because for as long as we have known Noah, that has been his favorite movie is number one in his list. The 30 before 30 list. When he did the 30 movies. This is just. We. You just know that about Noah. Yeah. So when we book Kate Hudson and you know she's coming in, Noah played it totally cool. He didn't say anything like, you know, guys, you know, maybe say something.
Noah (producer or guest)
Nothing at all. Not to you guys. To other people. I was like, kate Hudson. I was joking. Like, should I tell her that I have her poster on my wall?
Raeanne Fran
You know what's actually very funny is I feel like everybody said, don't do that. And. And yet you did.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Like, everyone was like, don't do that. Like, it was one thing to say, oh, I have the poster. But then, like, Noah went to literally show her the picture of the poster.
Noah (producer or guest)
I can't remember. I mean, the interview, we can listen. But like, I. I might have said, like, yeah, I have your face. Like, your face is giant on my wall. Like, I might have actually just said.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That to you might have said something like that.
Raeanne Fran
You might have something along. And it is kind of like when you just see the picture, it is a little like college boy dorm room. Because there's like nothing else on the wall.
Noah (producer or guest)
Well, the thing is, I have tons of cool art and, like, frames on my wall.
Raeanne Fran
It's just this wall.
Noah (producer or guest)
I just this section of the wall that's just like the big. That's like my piece on that wall, you know, And I set after. I kind of just was exaggerating, just, you know, in the moment. Like, oh, yeah, you're like, the only thing I want. I think I probably said, like, you're the only. Basically the only thing on my wall. Which isn't true. But I was just trying.
Raeanne Fran
But it's what she retold on the View. But that is the part that stuck with her to retell it on the View. It was so good.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, Noah has a nice apartment. Like, nicely done apartment, like, nicely decorated.
Noah (producer or guest)
You guys have never been.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But he has shown pictures before. But because, you know, a little back and forth of like, whose apartment's better between him and Tommy and Noah is not even close.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, I. I put all my money on Noah for sure.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So it just is an unbelievable clip and it made me so happy for you because I'm like, this a little weird. That's the best part about it. Her being like, it's a little weird. Like, if anyone's going to call you weird, have it be Kate Hudson, the person you admire.
Noah (producer or guest)
I've had it, my little weird.
Raeanne Fran
You creep.
Noah (producer or guest)
I've had in my Instagram. I'm going to have to change that to like, my Instagram bio has always just said, like, called pale and slightly hunched by the New York Times. Like, that's just. I've never changed it. But it's like Kate Hudson called me a little weird on the View.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So good. Oh my God. No, it's seriously one of my favorite moments of the year. But my favorite Noah moment also just funny.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
My mom called me. I was like on the subway so I didn't pick up and then she texted me, like, Kate Hudson just talked about you on the View. I'm like, what?
Raeanne Fran
Thank God your mom was also like.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah, she was just watching.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
I mean, thank God she was watching her. We would have never known. We would have never known that.
Noah (producer or guest)
Hilarious for her to just be watching the View. And then Kate Hudson's like, yeah, this guy that I'm Yesterday weirdo. That's my mom.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Like, oh my God, my son's the weirdo that Kate Hudson's talking about.
Raeanne Fran
And that's why I didn't bring up the picture to Sam Heughan a second time.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Very, very fair. I mean, it's so freaking cool.
Raeanne Fran
So cool.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So cool. I am so thrilled for you, Noah. So funny. It's amazing to have that.
Noah (producer or guest)
Or maybe I'll have posted it by now.
Raeanne Fran
I was going to say maybe already.
Noah (producer or guest)
Cuz when I went to show her, she gave me like a h. Like a hug. She put her head on my shoulder. Like, if you've seen Almost Famous, there's like a famous, like, scene on the bus where they're singing the song and she, like, puts her head on the kid's shoulder. And.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It just. It all came together for you.
Raeanne Fran
It all did.
Noah (producer or guest)
It's all happening.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I sent that clip, or before I sent the clip, when I told people that you. That Kate Hudson had talked about you on the show, I was like, oh, my God.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh, my God.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Kate Hudson talked about Noah on the View. And they're, oh, my God, what'd they say? And I wrote, well, she said that she has a. No. I said she has a little crush on a producer she met yesterday. And people were like, no way. I was like, no, that's not what happened. She called him weird.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So good.
Raeanne Fran
Hey, but that's.
Noah (producer or guest)
I would have taken any. If she had been. I mean, maybe not anything, but, like, it. It's actually almost better that she said it's a little weird. Like, no.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And also, you could tell she. It's her humor. And she can tell.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, my God.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It's like a g. After I showed.
Noah (producer or guest)
Her, she did, like, talk for, like, like, a time, quickly being like, I love, like, I love my kids showing, like, almost like, no.
Raeanne Fran
I was trying to make sure everyone knows that Kate Austin wasn't actually that.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Weirded out by him telling her, which.
Raeanne Fran
Was also very true. She was not weirded out. It's funny because it wasn't like, she was like, why? Like, it was not. We were all laughing about.
Noah (producer or guest)
I'm going to put up, like, it's her, like, hugging me, but you can just see me holding my phone to her, like, which is me just showing her my poster on my wall where. Where it does look like it's the only thing on my wall in that thing. Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
In the picture.
Noah (producer or guest)
And she said house, by the way, which is like, yeah, I got a house.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, true. That's nice. She assumed you have.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That's really nice house.
Raeanne Fran
She did.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You left.
Noah (producer or guest)
That also makes it sound even weirder. Like, I have a house and I have one poster in my house.
Raeanne Fran
That's probably why the ladies on the View were like, sounds weird.
Noah (producer or guest)
Not talks about that. Hugh Jackman's just there, like, too, like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Sitting next to you. Yeah. She sees you. She's like, get a little to this guy.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. I met this Hugh. You really got to go on the Chicks in the Office podcast and meet this weirdo producer.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You pop out. You're like, hugh, I have a. A poster of you from the Greatest.
Noah (producer or guest)
Showman that should be now of, like, anytime there's a big guest. I'm going to replace that. That poster with that person's face. I have a huge poster.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And every. Every day, the next day they go in the View. Yeah. No, it's so good. Well, you clearly left a lasting impact on. On Kate. You did. Because why else would she bring that up? It clearly stuck in her mind, like.
Noah (producer or guest)
She was picturing my face while she was.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
While she was talking about that. Yeah, she did a call back to you. Yeah, that was. Yeah, that was incredible.
Noah (producer or guest)
Maybe she'll, like, you know, maybe.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Maybe. Maybe she has 17 million followers on Instagram. Yeah, well, maybe.
Raeanne Fran
Hey, it could go viral. Who knows?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It could. It could go viral. We're rooting for you for it to go viral.
Raeanne Fran
We're rooting for you.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
You should collab. You should collab. Well, I was going to say you should collab with chicks in the office, but you should collab.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Well, collab with chick in the office.
Noah (producer or guest)
You really want me to collab on chicks in the office with this? Yes.
Raeanne Fran
When I texted you about making it a video, I meant to make it a video on chicks in the office.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, absolutely.
Noah (producer or guest)
Collaboration.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You know.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, this is worthy of. I think this is actually a Chicks in the Office post that you collab with yourself, bro.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You're acting like we're Kate Hudson right now with that response. Really? You want me to.
Noah (producer or guest)
I thought my collab.
Raeanne Fran
This is hysterical.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So funny.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was. I mean. Okay. Yeah, I was gonna do.
Raeanne Fran
I mean, you have to cut to you saying I was like, the footage of the studio did that. A cut of her being on the. Yes.
Noah (producer or guest)
Okay. Yeah. I was going to do, like, the picture of me and then the video of her on the View and then.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, this is what he likes to do.
Raeanne Fran
You should use the footage from what we have.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was going to put that, too, but you think, like, make it into one.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I think you should make a video where it's you telling Kate and then it cuts to the View and she's.
Noah (producer or guest)
Like, I want to.
Raeanne Fran
And then, like, I think it should be. Yes, exactly. And then, like a record scratch in between.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
And then it's her on the View going a little weird.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. We're cooking up a good video.
Raeanne Fran
Hopefully this video is already out, Right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
People are like, it happened.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, hopefully.
Raeanne Fran
If you're. If you're listening, you are hearing the.
Noah (producer or guest)
Making of that video, like, Thursday.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, I think it should go like Thursday.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It should be the Tease. The podcast. The podcast Tease. I actually love it. Yeah, that's the podcast tease is. Is Kate Hudson calling you a weirdo?
Kate Hudson
Yep.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No. It's so, so good. But on a real note though, really just such a cool moment for us. And career highlight for sure. Career highlight. Seriously, Just one of my favorite actresses of all time.
Raeanne Fran
I got a new answer now. You know, like when people are like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Oh my God, who's favorite guests?
Raeanne Fran
Favorite guests? Or like, who have you had recently that you're like Kate Hudson and she's moved to the top of that list.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Right. And I feel like we could have just talked to her for so much longer and you know, we get an allotted amount of time and we talked a lot about songs on Blue, which we saw on Monday night, which was the movie that we went to go see a screening of on Monday that we didn't talk about on Wednesday's episode. Episode.
Raeanne Fran
I love, loved this movie. Loved.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I really, really did. I don't know about you and I feel like it did because we were sitting next to each other, but you know, we were in a room with other people, so we're being kind of quiet. About left such a lasting impact on me that night, going to bed and also throughout the week. You know, I don't want to spoil anything of that movie, but it is based on a true story and it's based on. It's just a love story. A love story. But, but people who have a passion as well and you know, sort of like.
Raeanne Fran
And they're not in it for the fame and fortune, they're just in it to do what they love to do.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Passion. Yeah, I, I just really thought the whole thing was really beautiful and funny and, and they're so talented.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, my God.
Kate Hudson
Heart Mermaid.
Raeanne Fran
We're both crying. Also picture like we're in a screening room. That is where they send, you know, press to go see movies early and such. And you could hear pin drop in this room. Like when we're waiting for the movie start, no one, like, it was just so quiet. And once it got to the end, I'm like, I'm starting to sniffle. I'm like, oh my God, all these strangers are gonna hear me crying. But it's a tear jerker. It's a beautiful movie and it is. It's a fun theater experience too because the music is great. So good, so good, so good. And the two of them are fantastic. And we talk about it at length with Kate. So I don't even really feel like we need to talk about it too much now. But she is fantastic. Hugh Jackman is fantastic.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I Just want everyone to know that when we are talking to Kate, hyping up the movie, we fully, fully, wholeheartedly feel that way about.
Raeanne Fran
It was so fresh on our brain because we saw the movie Monday night and then talked to Kate first thing Tuesday morning. So it was like, let's talk about this.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I know.
Raeanne Fran
So excited.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I felt like I kept being like it was, you know, like it was so good, like almost being like, you know, but I really just wanted, I wanted her to know.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Freaking fantastic.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
She was.
Raeanne Fran
And she got nominated for Golden Globes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. Very well deserved. And then, you know, this week has just been filled with movies.
Raeanne Fran
A couple of movie buffs.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. No big. Watch out. We're the press. Rotten tomatoes. We are the press.
Raeanne Fran
We're the press.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And we went to the Marty supreme premiere on Tuesday night in Times Square in New York City. Very like Josh Safdie said when he walked in and he introduced the movie and he said, a very New York movie.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)

This is such a large movie.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, it is.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You know, all the Oscar buzz awards, just all the talent that's in this movie and the director, it's, it's just such a big film that when you get invited to something like this, you are unsure what to expect. We were just honored to be able to see the movie early in any capacity. So that was really cool.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Getting to go to the premiere.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Just going to go and you know, we got invited to go to the reception afterwards which once again I, I've never done. You did. You just did it for the Jonas Brothers, which is very cool and so just not knowing what to expect. But we, we got to the theater and we sat in one of the auditoriums and Josh Safdie came in and he introduced the movie and then he introduced the cast members which was, you know, Kevin o' Leary and Tyler, the creator and Odessa Azion and Timothee Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow all walk into this room. The crowd.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
The audience goes wild.
Raeanne Fran
I mean, half our theater was also high school students, by the way.
Noah (producer or guest)
Plus one.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, I did take my plus one.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Did take Noah as her plus one.
Raeanne Fran
We know. You all know listeners know he's been talking about the movie a lot. He's been dying to see it. He got the early screening.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was going on Thursday.
Raeanne Fran
Like, yeah, I was like, we should bring. No, I feel like he would love.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Well, Noah was like, why did Fran bring me?
Noah (producer or guest)
No, I was kind of. Like I said, I literally did like a double takes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Like, Joe's got a holiday party.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. I was like, my. So my husband's not available.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was like, no, no. Multiple things had to fall through.
Raeanne Fran
I will say you were right after Joe. Like, it wasn't like I went Joe or like. So like, no one was going to stop. And Gia prob. Gia probably is unhappy with me that I didn't ask her to go.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But that's okay because you brought Gia to the Jonas Brothers. And Noah really has been wanting to see this movie.
Raeanne Fran
So going to be very excited to see this movie and the party. And he loves Shadow the creator. And we got to do the whole thing. And I was like. And I thought it would be fun for us all to be able to talk about going to see the movie. Imagine we just cucked. No way. We were like, actually, sorry.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You have your.
Raeanne Fran
Sorry, you're seeing the movie on the 18th.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, no, no.
Raeanne Fran
That was very. We saw it already and we're gonna talk about it. Right in your face.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Absolutely the right move. And it. We had such a fun night. So I am glad that the three.
Noah (producer or guest)
Of us are type crowd when they especially like. I mean, all the actors who came up but Tyler Crater and Timothy Chalamet, like, when they like, even hinted at. When Josh Safti even, like, hinted at them coming out, the crowd was like, screech.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, well, once again, we. Half of the theater was high school students. So it was like. I don't know if every other theater had that react because Josh was also laughing. He was like, ah, this is the best theater. Like, because I think they were literally screaming.
Noah (producer or guest)
Our theater was one that they posted. I saw like, they posted it, shared a video of that.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Once again, they went crazy, going nuts.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was also funny because we got, you know, we were all going together, but for some reason our seats were separated.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So Matt and I were in another row And Fran and Noah were in a different row. And I was like, taking videos of you guys. I'm like, look at these two besties hanging out. I have, like, such funny videos. You know, Fran doing the Kate Hudson on your shoulder. But when Tyler, the creator came out, I did a look back. I was like, oh, my God, I want to see Noah's reaction. No. Popped out of his seat. It was like, yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
I just stand up at some point.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Oh, I. You have to. I mean, totally fair. But I just remember, have a vivid view in my eyes of looking back to see your reaction and Noah just like jumping out of his seat. It was. It was epic, but.
Raeanne Fran
And not the first time, not the only time that, you know, we got to get to see him. You know, the after. We'll talk about the after party too. But the movie was. Movie is fantastic. Once, like, I. When we walked out, I looked, you guys, I said, by far the best thing Timmy's done, in my opinion. He's. He's done great things. He's been so good in other movies. He was absolutely great as Bob Dylan. But this, I think was in on like, another level. Really. So good.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I'm gonna eat my words because I was kind of on Timothy's way of promoting this movie last week, you know? Yeah. We love Timothy. So we were kind of on him, but kind of, you know, hyping him up. I totally get what he's doing. Yeah. He's just playing his part.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
In press like that.
Raeanne Fran
Like, we saw the movie and we're both like, you got. Now we're gonna be the people who are like, you just don't get it.
Noah (producer or guest)
I felt like promoter.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. No, I felt like an idiot after the movie ended. I was like, yeah. Not. Wasn't picking up on the fact that he was doing his role.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Which he was phenomenal. He really was so good. And. And the movie was really good. I actually feel like I lowered my expectations going in because of how much hype had been around the movie. So I didn't want to be, like, disappointed. So I was just like, you know, I go in. No. No expectations or low expectations. Was blown away.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I thought it was really good.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. My only. My only critique was like, I. I think maybe and not a giant, like 10 to 15 minutes shorter. And I think I would have been like, hell yeah. Because with. Especially with his movies. Josh. Josh Safdie, like, there, you know, it is. You're on the edge of your seat and like that last hour is non stop where it was like, Maybe something in the beginning could have been condensed just a little bit. But that's just also like my intention attention span, you know, like, it was like it was also getting late. Like it was, it was, it was getting late.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We were.
Raeanne Fran
And this was also could be because we were sitting in our seats for an hour before the movie started that I was like, like ready for the movie to start.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Well, to be honest, we had the, we had, were up early for Kate Hudson. We had stayed at work all day and then we went to the thing and then, you know, so I think if you're just going to see that movie fresh, you know, just going.
Raeanne Fran
I don't think it would probably bother you at all, to be honest.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, I think it was probably just the day that we had had.
Noah (producer or guest)
I wasn't really minding the like delay in the actual start of the movie because in the theater, like there were, it was fun people watching because there were other like celebrities. And like you're like, oh, look at that guy, like over there, right?
Raeanne Fran
You're spotting everybody, right? There's actors that are in the movie that are just in our theater. And it's so funny because when they walk in, no one knows who they are, but when we're all walking out, they're getting hounded because they're like, oh.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
My God, you were in the movie. Yeah. I kept wondering when the movie was gonna start. And I was like, should I go to the bathroom now? Should I go to the bathroom now? And then finally I was like, I gotta go, I gotta pee. I gotta pee before this movie starts. And I went to pee and I ran into Josh Safdie's muse at a Josh Safdie movie. I ran into Julia Fox in the bathroom.
Raeanne Fran
I said, dream come true. Literally.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I couldn't believe my eyes. I'm like, it's Julia.
Raeanne Fran
It's his muse.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Funko Jams right here, right here at the Josh Safdie movie. Like I, I, it was my, my brain was blown.
Raeanne Fran
It was blown.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And then I'm walking back, I see Apple Martin, Gwynne Paltrow's daughter, by the.
Raeanne Fran
Way, who is just drop dead gorgeous, like supermodel. And we were admiring her dress so much. Now we're seeing today she was wearing her mom's dress that her mom wore to the EMMA premiere in 1996. You can see the side by side pictures. It's like looking in a mirror. Like those two is incredible. She, that is the same, just really gorgeous. Like walking past her at the after party, I was like, oh, my God, she's stunning. And so is Gwyneth, by the way. Like, also another one that you're like, whoa. You just feel that with certain people when you're like, that's a movie star. And I felt that way walking past her. I was like, ugh, I remember. That's a movie star.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was like, Frank, at the after party, she's like, gwyneth is like, at your 12 o' clock or whatever you gave me. And then I, like when I. I'm like, oh, my God.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. You had, like, a visceral reaction.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, my God.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. Which is.
Raeanne Fran
Which is. Which is so true. But no, we really did love the movies. Really, really fantastic. And I. I will now be rooting for him. You know, I thought, I do love Leo's performance in one battle after another. He's so great. But this felt like a special. A special role. And I don't know if he's going to get screwed for that or not. Like, you know, the Oscars arc, and sometimes it's like you're not actually rewarding the best performance. You're rewarding someone who's, like, due for an Oscar. So you never know.
Noah (producer or guest)
It's like, I could always see, like, like Ethan Hawker. Like, there's always, like, an artsy.
Raeanne Fran
That Noah's really on the Ethan Hawker pick. No, I. You're right.
Noah (producer or guest)
I'm probably right. I actually want Timothy to win and I think he deserves it. But I just always feel like you never know with the Oscars.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I agree with you. I could see that happening. It really was so good, though.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I mean, highly recommend both movies. Songs on Blue and Marty Scream, they're.
Raeanne Fran
Both totally different vibes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Totally different vibes. But they're both out on Christmas and they're both very worth seeing. Really, really good stuff.
Raeanne Fran
Yep.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But we went to the after party after the movie had wrapped up and.
Raeanne Fran
Beautiful party.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Beautiful.
Raeanne Fran
And we shout out a24. What a lovely job. What a fantastic party.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
A lovely shinde.
Raeanne Fran
They do.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We didn't know what to expect. We were like, oh, we'll pop in. We'll just see. All of a sudden, the stars were everywhere.
Noah (producer or guest)
Everywhere.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And we had no idea what to.
Raeanne Fran
Do, so we did nothing.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So we. Exactly we. None of us. Every 10 minutes, I'd be like, nothing.
Noah (producer or guest)
I'm going to take a lap. Just get a good look.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
The first time I did, I text you guys, staying next to Tyler, the crater.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Right. And then I said, oh, my God, should I get up? Like, I want to.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was almost Typing like, he's coming your way. And I was walking behind him towards.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Do you think we're, like, the worst or the best people that these, like, do you think it's like, I'd like.
Noah (producer or guest)
To think they don't even notice.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, no.
Raeanne Fran
But you don't know.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
But you know what I'm saying that it's like, oh, you're at a party, you're mega famous, it's your movie premiere, and you see a bunch of people that are just looking at you but don't talk to you. And then the next day, they just.
Kate Hudson
Talk about you a lot.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. You're like, oh, these fucking podcasters who just stared at us the whole night. Then they go on the. They were too afraid to say anything.
Raeanne Fran
Who wouldn't say anything, like. And I. And normally, after a couple glasses of champagne, I'll, I'll go up to anybody, but these are like, I was still holding myself back.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I was so nervous because it wasn't that kind of.
Raeanne Fran
No, I was terrified. Kind of was.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
People were doing it, you know, But.
Raeanne Fran
I never, I know it wasn't gonna be obnoxious. Just like, hey, you were so fantastic in the movie congratulations, Walk away. You know, which we did to know when we said to nobody, but, congratulations, everybody, you were fantastic.
Noah (producer or guest)
Everyone talked to Mark Cuban. That was the one.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
True. Yes.
Raeanne Fran
Marty did talk to Mark Cuban about Cooper Flags. So at least we have that.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Well, yeah, because we were all standing there and we turn over and he's talking to Mark Cuban.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Like, what the hell just happened? All of us were just, you know, we were, we were in our collective little group talking to nobody.
Noah (producer or guest)
Talk to Luke.
Raeanne Fran
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Who was on Barcelo Idol, and he is in, he's in the movie Marty Supreme. But I was so nervous to talk to anybody. I, I, I don't know. I just was like, you still get.
Raeanne Fran
Very nervous in those settings. Nervous.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Because I just don't want to bother them.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. But I, But I agree, I agree. I'm like, that's what they're there for. They're going to a party where it's like tons of people, they know they're going to. I don't think think about it as being bothered. It's like, you're out in a social setting. People are going to talk to you.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, right.
Noah (producer or guest)
But I just never want to be like, it's like the Wiz Cleaver thing. It's like, I just. You don't want to be the person who's like, annoying them.
Raeanne Fran
Absolutely.
Noah (producer or guest)
Like, I'm really happy that I didn't say anything to Ty. Like, last night, I was kind of like, oh, should I have? But it's like. It's like, it don't meet your heroes.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. But you just have to know your cue. As long as you're not, like, you can't overstay. As long as it's not like you're walking up and start firing off all these questions and, like, monopolizing someone's time. But I think anybody would appreciate, like, hey, I just have to say, like, I'm such. I really love to hear your performance in the movie and. And have a great night, and then you walk away. I think, you know, we would have been fine.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You're 100% correct. You are. You are totally, 1000% correct in that fact. Because it's like, you know, somebody came up to us and said, I love your podcast. And there's nothing more I love than hearing somebody come up to us and say, I love your podcast.
Raeanne Fran
One girl who said hi to us at the party.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
My night, you know, literally made my night. Like, I'm so honored. Like, please tell us you have our podcast. That's, you know, to get that validation is. Is. Is incredible.
Raeanne Fran
Exactly. So they're just. They're regular people, too. They're just looking for that. Right. They're looking for that validation also.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So you're 100% right. It's more of a Me being just nervous, overthinking.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. We're trying to get you in front of Josh Safdie. Honey.
Noah (producer or guest)
He was. Honey, I wish the whole night.
Raeanne Fran
I know. Well, I just said. And she.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I was circling him like a shark.
Raeanne Fran
I literally was just like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I'm walking past him like this, just giving him.
Raeanne Fran
I was texting. I said, I wish I, like, faked being her manager and walked right up to him and was like, josh, I got the next big thing. You got to meet. You got to meet my client, Maria. She's. She's unreal.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Frank kept telling me, I have to take my coat off.
Raeanne Fran
She was like. She was. I just. I needed you to, like, look comfortable. Well, no, I wasn't uncomilited, but, like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I didn't feel like not looking.
Raeanne Fran
Like, you're leaving.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, my coat was part of my look.
Noah (producer or guest)
That's what I said. My jacket was.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Me and Noah both left our coat.
Raeanne Fran
A very different coat on.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. But I felt like mine, like, matched my look. And I also, you know, the whole coat. I didn't. I wasn't planning on staying long. So, you know, then the whole coat check thing. And then I was like, you know, Fran was like, well, I mean, you gotta take your coat off and show yourself. Like, she was being my manager, which she was not wrong. She's not right.
Raeanne Fran
How do you think. How do you think things worked out for Julia Fox?
Noah (producer or guest)
I did think that you guys should have gone up to Barbara Corkin, because.
Raeanne Fran
No, like, former guests we brought. We were in a mental pretzel the whole night. Like, it was like, now look, thinking about it today, I'm like, that was so dumb. But it's like we were in a mental pretzel at the time.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We were surrounded by some extremely famous people. You know, Dylan o' Brien was there.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And Dylan o' Brien followed me on Twitter.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And has liked my tweets in the past. Although now I don't go on Twitter and I do not tweet.
Raeanne Fran
And I believe he doesn't have Twitter as well.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And I don't think. But in the past, I'm like, this guy, he's got to know who we are. He literally, you know, and. But we're standing inches apart, and I'm like, I don't know.
Raeanne Fran
Then there's just a bunch of awkward. I want to bother, you know? You know, I keep saying, I don't.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Want to bother, which is so stupid. Like you said, it's not a bother. It's not a bother.
Noah (producer or guest)
They're all thinking today, who was that? They were so cool. They didn't speak to me. That's what they're doing. And then they're going to be on the View being like, well, those podcasters.
Raeanne Fran
Who talk for a living didn't say one peep.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And then they got on their episode like you said the next day, and they just fucking yapped away about us and said fudgeing nothing.
Raeanne Fran
We're pathetic.
Noah (producer or guest)
Tyler Creator and Daniel Sees were playing a game of chess in the middle.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
And I was like, how do I. How do I get it? Like, how do I get so many.
Raeanne Fran
Things that no matter what would have the outcome have been. Would have been an amazing story and so funny. Like, yes. The thought of you going up and being like, hey, guys, can I have next game? Is so hysterical. And if they, like, laughed you out of the building, that would have been even funnier. So, you know, like, when I said, you miss 100% of the shots, you don't take Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott, me.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Here's the thing. We all. We all messed up in some Capacity, for sure. We, all of us didn't say something to somebody who wants to be.
Raeanne Fran
You guys got my head.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Oh, please.
Raeanne Fran
You guys got my head.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You said I would never bother Gwyneth Paltrow.
Raeanne Fran
What is Paltrow not going up to? Holy shit.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You were like, I would never go up to, like, on the way out.
Raeanne Fran
Odessa was so amazing in the movie. I was like, we should have introduced ourselves to Odessa.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That was so such a big fan of Odessa, and I think she is so fucking talented.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And so I think all of us had our one person the whole night where we were, like, thinking about saying something. Yours was Tyler. For me. I want to say Odessa.
Noah (producer or guest)
He was the first one that walked by me. And because I hadn't really, like, thought, like, at that point, I was like, oh, the big ones aren't going to come. And then when he was there, I was like, oh, my God. And I still kind of had, like, earlier that day. It's like, I. I kind of hit it off with Kate Hudson. So it's like, in my mind, I'm.
Raeanne Fran
Like, you're on a high.
Noah (producer or guest)
I'm on, like, a sleuth. I could talk to any celebrity. But, like, I kind of, like, walked toward him an inch and then backed up. I'm like, what? What am I gonna say?
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
And it's. I don't want to. Like, this is a cool party. I've never been to, like, this type of thing. I don't want to come off.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Like, I think that's what we got in our heads a little bit.
Noah (producer or guest)
Next one, we'll be talking to everyone.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We're gonna get that confidence, I think.
Raeanne Fran
You think this is gonna win us another invite for May 24or we're just promoting the movies. No, that we are. I mean, let me tell you, we. The. The whole decor was amazing. You guys took home Wheaties boxes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, me and Noah took home Wheaties.
Noah (producer or guest)
Boxes, which is funny, because if you saw me, I put it in my jacket.
Raeanne Fran
Let's be real. Those things were going in the trash, if you weren't.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
By the way, our jackets came in handy because we both got to sneak a sweeties box out of there.
Noah (producer or guest)
I don't think I was getting it past any, like, everyone. If you took one look at me, I had, like, a box under my jacket.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I was holding my side like this. It looked like I was in pain, hiding my Wheaties box. But I'm glad we took them.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh, those are so cool. I don't know if, like, I hope they never sell Those. Because it's like, wow. Like, we have.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, we have. You know. Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
I mean, I saved my ping pong ball popcorn holder, and a guy on the street, when I walked out, asked to pay me, asked for mine for 20 bucks. I was like, no way, Jose.
Noah (producer or guest)
Even this hat, I feel like these stuff. This stuff.
Raeanne Fran
He was like, you got an extra one of those? Is that. Nah, this is my only one. He goes, I'll give you 20 bucks. I said, no, not happening.
Noah (producer or guest)
I did, like, when you guys. Because you guys left and we were all. Me and Fran were like, go to the bathroom. And then Fran, just for a second, no one.
Raeanne Fran
I looked each other said, should we stay?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. We all walked out at the same time.
Raeanne Fran
In my head, we faked you guys out. Then you guys left. And then me and Noah were like, should we just go back upstairs?
Noah (producer or guest)
I am like, just a big FOMO guy. Where, like, if I had. Because everyone was there other than Timothy. But, like, if I had woken up and saw. Seen that he, like, showed up late, I would have been like, yeah. And then I wouldn't have done anything.
Raeanne Fran
You know what's so funny is that Carl Anthony Towns posted, like, his face timing with Timothy after, because the Knicks won the NBA Cup. And I was like, this is so classic. Like, he didn't come. He went to the premiere and then, like, went home to watch the Knicks and then was just like, it's a Knicks night. Like, that's it. I'm not going to this party.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. We had stayed a while, though.
Raeanne Fran
Like, we know we were.
Noah (producer or guest)
But it was interesting because everyone. It cleared out a lot. But the big, big names were still there.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Were all still there. Because where did we get there? Around, I want to say, 10:30. And didn't leave till 12:30.
Raeanne Fran
Probably, like, 10:45. Because the movie didn't end till 2015.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
When I came out of the bathroom and Fran was gone, I did go back up, did one lap just to see who won the chess game. Because I need to know.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You had to know who won the chess game.
Noah (producer or guest)
And Daniel Caesar was playing against what looked to me like a random person. So I'm like, maybe I could have.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
If I had said, we're.
Raeanne Fran
You know, it's a stunning event.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was. And it's been filled with a lot of what ifs. We did.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But we had never been to something like that.
Noah (producer or guest)
It was just cool.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was very cool to be invited. Thank you.
Raeanne Fran
May 24th.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes. Thank you so much. We really did appreciate it. And it was Very, very cool.
Raeanne Fran
It'll be way cooler if you invite.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Us to another one. Right. I think we maybe just threw that out the window.
Noah (producer or guest)
Now we're just raving about it.
Raeanne Fran
They got a new Robert Pattinson Zendaya movie coming out. You see that?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes. Now, I'm overthinking talking about that. Great.
Noah (producer or guest)
I go up to Robert Pattinson, you know, people have told me, we're going.
Raeanne Fran
To finish this, we're going to finish recording. Ria's going to text us, should we cut the whole thing about the party?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
100%. But I'm just like, you know, we're going to leave it in, but I want everyone to know I will be asking them if we should cut this entire segment.
Noah (producer or guest)
But, you know, let's be real. Like, if they're inviting podcasters, they don't think that you're going to talk about.
Raeanne Fran
Let me tell you, my envelopes. Our envelope said Fran Mariano Ria. Did you say Riacho Press?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
So this may not. We may not be having a lot of, like, journalistic integrity right now, but.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, I think journalists.
Raeanne Fran
That's why we're invited. We're invited to talk about the party. That's why you're inviting us to the party, right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Talk about the movie.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Which once again, once again, fantastic. We're not just saying. That really did blow me away.
Noah (producer or guest)
I think I'm gonna see it again when it comes out in theaters because I also feel like I couldn't fully put all my focus into it just because there was so much, like, in my mind of, like, what was happening in the theater before that, where I was still like, what.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Let me ask you, when you took a shower last night, when you got home, What? Or this morning, whatever. Whenever you took a shower, whenever it was. I don't even know why I prefaced it like that. It was because when I took a shower, this is what I was thinking. It could have happened in the car ride. It could have happened, whatever. When I was in the shower last night, when I got home, I felt like I was in the movie. I was acting like I was in the movie in my head. Like I was like, you know, putting on a performance in my head, I was in there and, you know, I.
Raeanne Fran
Had definitely, like, a little New York City, like a. Like, God, I love this city. As I was, as I was walking home, because the party was not that far from where I live. I had the popcorn bowl. I had my giant coat. I had two hats because you guys left without realizing there were hats. So I wanted to get you a hat.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Thank God. Thank you.
Raeanne Fran
Two hats. They gave us a box of ping pong balls. So I had that, and I was walking home, and I'm crossing Fifth Avenue, and I look up, and the Empire State Building is orange. And Josh Safdie said before the movie was like, empire State. Like, we're taking over this city. Like, Empire State building's orange tonight for Marty. Like, Marty Orange. Marty Supreme Orange. I look up, I saw the Empire State Building being orange. I was like, God, I love this city. I have, like, 18 photos of the Empire State Building on my. On my phone of the. Of it being orange.
Noah (producer or guest)
That's so cool. In my Uber at home, just only Tyler the creator music. And I'm just like, wow, what a day. Then I went.
Raeanne Fran
I was like, the Knicks did win the NBA cup, which could be another reason why it's orange. But I'm going with Marty Supreme.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was because of Marty Supreme. No, I had the same thing this morning on the way in. I was listening to Tyler Crater, and I was just in my head, like, oh, yeah, you know, I love New Magic Wand. Like, trying to name a song that.
Noah (producer or guest)
Like, I sent you a voice note last night of, like, what? I'm like, this is what I would have sounded like, right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, like, naming a song that's kind of, like, maybe a deeper cut. That, like. No, no, not Sugar on my Tongue. I love. I said Yonkers changed my life.
Noah (producer or guest)
I know. Oh, it was cool to see, like, they were all very, like, seemingly normal.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was cool.
Noah (producer or guest)
They're just like us, you know?
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was cool to see them just hanging out and, like, not leaving the party right away.
Noah (producer or guest)
Like, I was like, oh, they'll be here, gone. No, they were there. They stayed. We left before them.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Well, there was a stunning party. I wouldn't want to.
Noah (producer or guest)
You think we all left and they go, they're gone. Everyone.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We can.
Noah (producer or guest)
We can have fun.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I wanted to boogie down, though. There was a good dj, but it wasn't like a dancing party.
Raeanne Fran
There was a few people dancing, like, starting kind of when we were, but not really.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was thinking with that dj, I'm like. Because I saw it happen, like, multiple times where Tyler or Daniel Caesar or any music artist is walking by him. I'm like, that's gotta be a lot of pressure for this guy. Like, you're just DJing in front of these.
Raeanne Fran
I mean, when he started playing Charli xcx and I was like, oh, my God. So Julia. And Julia, she's here. I was like, what?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Wow. What room is she in? Is she dancing? Whoa.
Raeanne Fran
But no, it was a fun night. I'm glad the three of us got to do it together.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We had a lot of laughs, a lot of fun. It was a great night. But we are gonna get into the rest of the show. We have a couple topics and we have our interview with Kate Hudson, which is so exc.

While we're on the topic of movies, it's just sort of fitting that during their actors on actors Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio had said has never watched the Titanic.
Raeanne Fran
I haven't rewatched it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
He said to Jennifer Lawrence, like, I mean, do you watch your movies? And she said, you know, no, but if I had, if I made the Titanic, right?
Raeanne Fran
It's like different story. It's like, ah, come on, Leo, you've never been flipping through the movie channels and seeing Titanic and said, oh, let's pop this on.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I want to feel something.
Raeanne Fran
It seems like he doesn't really rewatch his movies.
Noah (producer or guest)
Are you guys gonna rewatch the Kate Hudson interview that you just did? You know, it's kind of like you don't rewatch your stuff.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
When I see the clips you rewatched? Yeah, I watched the clips. Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
What's the highlights? No, it is true. I think that is. I think that is actually a pretty universal feeling, is a lot of people don't go back and, like, really watch or re watch multiple times. And half the time, I think actors are like, look, I lived it. I filmed the movie. You know, and of course, you probably see the finished product probably at the premiere that one time when everybody's watching it, and then you go home and it's like years later, unless you have a really good reason to, maybe you're. You don't throw it on.
Noah (producer or guest)
I think Denzel just famously said that he just never watched any of the movies he's been in.
Raeanne Fran
I think a lot of people have said it. Like. I think a lot of people are asked this question often of like, do you watch your own movies?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And they're like, no.
Raeanne Fran
What are you thinking about? You're making a face.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, it's all right. I don't need to say it.
Noah (producer or guest)
Is this about child acting?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes. Moving on.
Raeanne Fran
You are. I mean, you really should watch your. We should watch our. We should watch ourselves.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
It is one of the biggest tips people say of. Of improving and getting better is how do you do it without watching yourself back?
Noah (producer or guest)
It's funny because I feel like Timothy Chalamet is watching Marty Supreme Life, like, a thousand times. He's just like, wow, you took the.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Words right out of my mouth. I was gonna say something. I feel like Timothy. I feel like Timothy Chalamet's house right now is like Ace from Love island, where it's just movies playing at all times. He's like, look at this one. This is the Bob Dylan room. This is the Marty supreme room. It's just all these movies playing at all times.
Raeanne Fran
You know what?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You know what?
Raeanne Fran
Fuck yes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Because after seeing that, I. Not to go back. We're already going back to it. But like, I'm like, like, yeah, Timothy, that was that. You know, when Harry Styles was doing press. I don't know. I suddenly have the giggles out of nowhere. But when Harry Styles was doing press for Don't Worry Darling, and he was like, it's like a movie.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, yeah. Feels like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And every. And everybody made fun of him. Yeah, I get it, though.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
With this movie, like, yes, this was a movie.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
This.
Noah (producer or guest)
That theater, like, being in a theater, like, after all this news, like, yeah, yeah.
Raeanne Fran
No, absolutely, it is. It's. Movies are a powerful thing, and they're.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Making me feel something this week.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. And Titanic is a powerful movie.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It is.
Raeanne Fran
And Leo should maybe think about watching it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
He should. And, you know, I don't know if he ever will. I feel like he doesn't strike me as the type that will change his mind on that.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah. He just said in his ways. He also said he was. Did, like, a talk of Martin Scorsese. He was like, if he would ever, like, get into directing. And he was like, no, why would I know? I never could do it as good as Marty could or Marty does.
Noah (producer or guest)
I saw him say, like, he's his, like, one regret is that, like, on the sets for March movies, that he wasn't able to, like, watch Martin Scorsese do his thing because he was too, like, in his own world.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
He said he's like. He wishes he could have kind of observed more of what was happening behind the scenes to, like, learn more about it. But he was like, no, I don't need to. Like, I don't need to direct.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Gosh. I mean, I have so much more of an appreciation for directors lately. I feel like. You know, I feel like when you grow, you know, you watch a movie and you appreciate all the actors and you kind of, like, move along, but just. I don't know. I mean, these filmmakers, I mean, Rob Reiner, like, yeah, that's. It's just amazing, you know, what they do. And when people have, like, a hit after hit after hit. So, like, someone like Martin Scorsese or, you know, just seeing just after. Or hearing Kate Hudson talk about meeting the director of songs on blue 20 years ago and wanting to work with him and then getting to do that is so cool. And they have such an appreciation for, like, these filmmakers.
Raeanne Fran
Absolutely. I think it's just so funny because it's really something where it's like, something that can be so beloved and watched millions and millions of times by people, and you're like, oh, my God, I watched. I've watched Titanic a thousand times. Like, how could he have not ever rewatched it? But it's. It's true. I think it's.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Titanic is James Cameron, right?
Raeanne Fran
Titanic. Titanic is James Cameron.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes. God, I'd give my left arm to do a James Cameron movie. Yeah, yeah. Entourage.
Noah (producer or guest)
It must be weird, though.
Raeanne Fran
I'm intrigued to know how this last Avatar is gonna. Is gonna do, because I feel like there's really. It hasn't been discussed a lot.
Noah (producer or guest)
I have no interest.
Raeanne Fran
I never saw. I never saw the second one.
Noah (producer or guest)
Neither did I. Might have put it on. And I was like, I've seen the.
Raeanne Fran
First One, but I never saw the second one. Now we got a whole another one. This.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
But yes, James Cameron.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes. I was just doing an entrepreneur.
Raeanne Fran
I know, I know.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I know you were.
Raeanne Fran
I know you were. I was just setting it, but, like. And now it just brings me to. It brings me to Avatar.
Noah (producer or guest)
Did you guys see the. The trailer for the new Steven Spielberg Alien movie, though?
Raeanne Fran
I have not.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I have.
Noah (producer or guest)
Looks good.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
What's it called?
Noah (producer or guest)
Disclosure Day.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. Josh o' Connor's in it.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh, yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Josh o' Connor has been doing some really funny interviews, and he.
Raeanne Fran
I think he's hysterical in his interviews.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
He went on a whole thing about American fast food that he. He. It's one of his pleasures and joys. And he loves figuring out new. Yeah, yeah. And he loves figuring out new American fast foods. He loves Skyline chili. He said it's unreal. He loves Jimmy John's.
Noah (producer or guest)
Jimmy John's is under him.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
He really likes. He likes trying anywhere he can try new American fast food. Said. Oh, my God. Josh o', Connor, come on the podcast to discuss, because we have a lot to say. Josh, have you ever tried the OG Burger King chicken sandwich? The long one?
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, we just have it on the table. I would love to talk to him. We just have him on to talk about ratatouille and fast food.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That's it.
Raeanne Fran
Nothing else. Keep it pure. Now I see.
Noah (producer or guest)
Wow.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I really see.
Noah (producer or guest)
Nothing about the trailer just came out.
Kate Hudson
I know.
Raeanne Fran
I'm just looking at. The cast is really great. John Williams to this music.
Noah (producer or guest)
How old do you think Steven Spielberg coming out.
Raeanne Fran
June 12, 2026.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Steven Spielberg, I think is.
Raeanne Fran
Spielberg's got to be 75.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I was gonna say 82.
Raeanne Fran
78. He's 78.
Noah (producer or guest)
78.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Damn.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh, his birthday's tomorrow.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, my God.
Noah (producer or guest)
79.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Stevie. Happy birthday.
Noah (producer or guest)
Hey, enjoy that. Last year in the 70s.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. Yeah. Dark.
Noah (producer or guest)
I'm just saying, you know, it's the same the way I felt when I turned 30.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, I'm sure he feels the same way.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, my God, he's so hot.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
80 before 80 list. Steven Spielberg.
Noah (producer or guest)
There was a time where I awkwardly stood in front of Steven Spielberg on the staircase at my internship in la. It was like one of those where I'm like. I was pacing the hallways because I knew he was gonna come and wanted to get a glimpse of him, and then, like, got in his way and just. But it was worth it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Worth it. He did Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Correct.
Noah (producer or guest)
Steven Spielberg.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Or am I making that up?
Noah (producer or guest)
I've never seen that.
Raeanne Fran
Yes.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No.
Noah (producer or guest)
Of the third kind.
Raeanne Fran
No.
Noah (producer or guest)
Steven Spielberg. Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
That was 1977.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. That is like one of the only, I guess you could say Alien esque movies that like I really like stuck with me and liked E.T.
Noah (producer or guest)
Or no.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, E.T. i mean, is like a kid.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I love DT when I was a kid.
Noah (producer or guest)
That kind of creeped me out as a kid.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, I, I loved it when I was kid.
Raeanne Fran
Seen a lot of Alien movies. My dad loves Alien movies.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Close Encounters.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, I think I watched Alien.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I think I watched in school and I think maybe like it was one of those movie, you know, when you, when they throw on a movie in school, you're usually not interested. But this one really stuck with me.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
You watch Arrival with Amy Adams?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yep.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh, really?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I have not seen a lot of Alien movies if I'm being completely honest. Yeah, yeah. But maybe I'll see the Steven Spielberg one.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, totally.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Totally.
Raeanne Fran

Moving on, more movie talk. The Oscars are moving to YouTube in 2029.
Raeanne Fran
Once again, movie movie buffs, movie critics, movie podcast. Very movie themed today.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes.
Raeanne Fran
This really surprised me. I'm not gonna lie. I saw and granted, 2029 is like. When you hear 2029, you're like, oh my God, that feels so far away. It's really not that far away. Three years away. Three years. The Oscars are going to be on YouTube. Not crazy.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It's not super crazy. Because when you think about, like, the evolution of how the Internet is working now, it feels like almost like all.
Noah (producer or guest)
The grandparents who, like, wanna watch Oscars.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Are not gonna know how to find it.
Raeanne Fran
Some things are going back to tv, right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
They can't figure out. It feels like it just. It goes in waves.
Raeanne Fran
It goes in waves.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
When you said it out loud, I had initial shock. I said, what? As if this was gonna change my entire life. Like, I know. As if the oscars being on YouTube was just gonna uproot my life.
Raeanne Fran
My gut reaction was like, the Oscars are meant to be on television.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I was like, oh, my God, we had such a strong reaction.
Raeanne Fran
And I was like. And then when I was reading the article, it said, oh, it'll be available on YouTube and YouTube TV. I'm like, well, I'm opening YouTube anyway, right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We're already watching.
Raeanne Fran
You know what I'm saying? Like, I already watch all my TV on YouTube TV. So it's like, TV will be. There's no difference in me opening the app and pressing play on ABC or pressing play on whatever YouTube thing shows up for.
Noah (producer or guest)
By 2029, YouTube TV will probably be, like $1,000 a month.
Raeanne Fran
I can't.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I don't. Yeah, that's right. Right. I know.
Raeanne Fran
Seriously. So I don't know. Very interesting. But I think they want to, like, condense all the coverage into, like, one space. So, you know, now, of course, there are red carpet stuff that's on tv, but there also is red carpet stuff that you can stream or you can watch the red carpet stream on YouTube, and then you have to go watch the show on tv. So they're making it all. One is you can watch. You can watch the red carpet on YouTube into the. Whatever pre show into the show and to whatever discussions are afterward. And it's from at least through 2033. So it's not even like a one year. Like, let's try it. It's gonna be multiple years.
Noah (producer or guest)
I just hooked up. When is Will Smith's Oscar ban over? And it's 2032, so maybe we'll have a big.
Raeanne Fran
Maybe for the last year.
Noah (producer or guest)
Last year on YouTube, the big TV.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Moment when he comes back, you think.
Noah (producer or guest)
He'Ll go back, like, when? Right when it's up.
Raeanne Fran
If he. Or is he nominated for something, like, you know.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, you know, it was. It really is crazy when you think about the fact that he slapped Chris Rock across the face and then won.
Noah (producer or guest)
The Oscar and they got a standing.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Ovation and then got a standing ovation. Like everyone was like, yeah, you did that.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
Wild.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Really wild.
Noah (producer or guest)
That's just that, you know, I feel like you just go along with like, if I was there, I'd probably be like, oh, okay. Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
You know what to do.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Kind of just like gauging the crowd. Yeah, we're okay with this.
Raeanne Fran
You know, are we laughing at this or not?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It. God, what a moment.
Raeanne Fran
What a moment in time is right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Seeing Chris, seeing Will Smith, that's up.
Raeanne Fran
There for like when we get to 20. When we get to 20, 29 and we're talking about the moments of the decade. Yeah, that'll be high up.
Noah (producer or guest)
That's.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That's almost number one. Yeah. If not number one.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I couldn't even haven't seen something like.
Noah (producer or guest)
That in a moment on tv. Like, what's a more famous moment, like, talked about? I mean, I'm sure there's like political stuff in like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But yeah, there's like awards, other award shows.
Raeanne Fran
Like, no, it was like. I'm sure there's like major world events and shit, but like, but like, we're tougher than that.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You know, Chris Rock and Will Smith.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
No, like, I mean, like when Justin Timberlake pulled Janet Jackson's thing off. Yeah, you know, that. Those type of things. But like, you know, as the decades.
Raeanne Fran
Go on, this decade. Well, we'll also think back. You got to get to the end to really be able to look back.
Kate Hudson
Right.
Noah (producer or guest)
That was like, what is that?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And Steven Spielberg's life.
Noah (producer or guest)
I was like, that was a Matthew McConaughey, like, Lincoln commercial, I think.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, how do you go forward?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes.
Raeanne Fran
Without looking back.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, that's. That's perfect. That's the car. That's so good. It sounded just like it. Last topic, just a quick little update. So Jordan Firstman from I Love LA and Hudson Williams from Heated Rivalry. It seemed like they got together and kind of squashed their. Their beef or their one sided beef.
Raeanne Fran
Right.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That only Jordan had with heated Rivalry.
Raeanne Fran
And no words were. It's just like a picture.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was a picture of them smoking cigs, hard emoji, heart emojis, which then.
Raeanne Fran
I love, I love caused people to.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Be mad that they were smoking cigarettes in their story.
Raeanne Fran
Right?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. So it was like, oh, they made up. But why are we promoting smoking?
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, yeah, classic.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
But you know what?
Raeanne Fran
I'm seeing those guys everywhere now. I will say they're getting a lot of stuff, like just Internet video, like press videos of them. I'm seeing him do his full skin care on the cut. And Connor just did a full, like, interview on the cut too, that I saw. So they're. They're definitely out there. If we weren't, like, the timing of it is. Doesn't line up with when the show ends versus, like, when we're back in the studio. But I would love to talk to them.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Would love to.
Raeanne Fran
Let me tell you, I am counting down because now you guys are all listening to the fifth episode's out, but I am dying for this fifth episode.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Because that fourth one.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Did you watch the fourth one yet? Oh, tonight you got the way the.
Raeanne Fran
The way four ended. You're just like.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, you're.
Raeanne Fran
I was gasping. Gasping.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It's on Fridays. Fridays. So I'll watch for tonight and then I'll have to wait till Friday for five. But no, they're great. And here, listen. Jordan got lucky with us because for them to, you know, kind of squash the beef.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Good on the outside for everybody. Good for everybody. Because no, nobody was happy about that. And I'm sure he was probably overthinking it as well. So to get together and just, you know, hey, all love at the HBO shows.
Raeanne Fran
I'm pumped to really get to crush some good TV and some new stuff that's coming out during this time. We'll have a lot to talk about on our first episode back. Everyone start writing down much everything that. Everything that we're consuming. But the new Emily in Paris season will be out. That's the end of this week. And Stranger Things.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
I feel like there's just, like gonna be a lot of good stuff.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh, my God. I completely forgot about Stranger Things. That feels like it's over.
Raeanne Fran
Like Christmas and New Year's.
Noah (producer or guest)
I know that's.
Raeanne Fran
My brother keeps texting me like, when are we gonna watch Stranger Things on Christmas? I'm like, I don't.
Noah (producer or guest)
You guys gonna go to the theater?
Raeanne Fran
No. Well, that. The finals, like New Year's Eve, New Year's or day.
Noah (producer or guest)
Is that only in theaters or. It's just.
Raeanne Fran
I think it's just like one day or can you go?
Kate Hudson
I don't know. I felt.
Raeanne Fran
I thought it was like a one day. Go see Stranger Things finale.
Noah (producer or guest)
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
Like how, Taylor?
Noah (producer or guest)
I don't know.
Kate Hudson
Is it.
Noah (producer or guest)
I don't know. I don't know. We'll find out.
Raeanne Fran
I'll be watching the COVID of My home. That's, you know, which is.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That's for television.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
The preferred way. Yeah, Television.
Noah (producer or guest)
The way Netflix wants you to watch it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It's True. I guess I did. I did pop it on Stranger Things. Not the. Not the last season. Because you want it.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
There's no way you're gonna catch up.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
There's only eight episodes.
Raeanne Fran
You don't like the doubt in your voice. And by the way, you could. No, but you could do that a little bit.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah, I might skip around also.
Raeanne Fran
Like a binge, like. Forget it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. One night.
Raeanne Fran
One. Yeah.
Noah (producer or guest)
Fast and Furious movies, too.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Oh, speaking of Fast and Furious. Which definitely will be happening over a break because it's time to say goodbye. It is.
Raeanne Fran
It is officially. Right. That is very. You know, you should close that chapter.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I will. Going.
Raeanne Fran
I'm going out of 2025. It's 2025. My Fast and Furious obsession was so 2025.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It was. And I'm going to leave. I need to close out the tattoo, but I do need to show this off. One second.
Raeanne Fran
True.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I.
Kate Hudson
You do.
Raeanne Fran
That's fair. Go get it. Because this was a gift. And we don't know where it came from or how he found it, but he found it for you.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
John Feidelberg gifted me this Too Fast, Too Furious vintage jacket. He. You know, I heard he was looking for me, and Noah texted me and said, yeah, Feidalberg's looking for you. I said, why? He said, I don't know.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Ran into John.
Raeanne Fran
You didn't say a reason.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I ran into John in the hallway and he said, follow me. And I said, okay, what's gonna happen? What's happening? Brings me into the Cave Cerise radio studio. Just hands me this.
Raeanne Fran
I said, what? So sick.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So sick. I put it on. He goes, I knew it was gonna look good.
Noah (producer or guest)
It also looks like a cool jacket that, like, someone would be wearing in a mechanic shop, you know?
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
I mean, the jacket, sick. You gotta show the back. Put it on. Turn around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck yeah. Family.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Family. It's family.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Me and John, we're family.
Raeanne Fran
It's a really cool jacket.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It's so sick.
Noah (producer or guest)
Honestly, if you were wearing that last night, I think Josh Safdie would have come up to you.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You took the words. You took the words out of my freaking mouth. When I got this, I said, I wish I had this last night. I needed the thing to draw people in.
Noah (producer or guest)
I think Tyler would have come up to you, be like, I have that jacket.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Like, wow, it's a sick jacket. And then no one's like, why weren't you wearing that last night?
Raeanne Fran
Slams FIST ON TABLE oh, it's so sick.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Thank you, John.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And I'M gonna, you know, we're gonna have to finish these movies in 2025. Yeah. Because I took a nice enough break so that I can miss them a little bit and now I miss them and I have to say goodbye.

Kate Hudson
Hello.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Thank you so much for joining us. We're so excited. We just can't believe that you're here.
Kate Hudson
Oh, well, thanks for having me. I love the whole setup. It's so fun.
Raeanne Fran
Yes. We're very festive in here for the holidays, which. Which we like. Even though our portrait is slowly dropping.
Kate Hudson
I feel like it is kind of like a. It's.
Raeanne Fran
It's starting to droop a tad. I don't think it likes the studio lights.
Kate Hudson
You might need water.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, don't worry, it has some.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
We can ignore this. Yeah, yeah.
Raeanne Fran
But I will say, I think the. Yeah, the studio lights for sure. But we are so happy that you're here. We were so excited when this final. I could not have called my mom faster when I was like, oh, my God. We booked Kate Hudson on the show. We're so pumped and excited to have you here.
Kate Hudson
Happy to be here.
Raeanne Fran
Rhea and I saw the movie this week, song Sung Blue. It's so good and you are so fantastic in it.
Kate Hudson
Thank you.
Raeanne Fran
We were. We were blown away because really we and I. And I recommend going in this way because sometimes people, you know, you Google a movie, you find out too many things about it before you go see it go see this without really knowing.
Kate Hudson
I know. Because it's such a great. Like it. It takes you on a journey that you don't expect and it makes the movie even better. Although I have to say, the third time I saw the movie, I cried even harder. Like it actually did something. I felt even. Like I loved it even more. Maybe that's cause I got distanced from myself a little bit. But people who've seen it like multiple times still have the same reaction when they see it a second time. So maybe like, you know, there's a.
Raeanne Fran
Surprise element to watching for the first time that I think gets you. And then watching it for the second or third time, you obviously know what's gonna happen. So I think you're. You're taking in the emotion a little bit more.
Kate Hudson
And I think it's important though for people to know that it's not about Neil Diamond. I think.
Raeanne Fran
You know.
Kate Hudson
Right. So it's like, it's. It's a. They're a Neil diamond tribute band. It's a true story about a couple from Milwaukee that started a tribute band. And it's really about their life and their family. And Neil diamond, sort of his music is kind of what kind of pulls.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You through the movie.
Kate Hudson
But it's not a musical. It sort of feels like a throwback. Great. One of those great classic touchstone pictures movie, you know, like Terms of Endearment or Moonstruck or movies like that, that. That are more human but still incredibly entertaining and make you laugh and make you cry.
Raeanne Fran
Totally.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. There are so many elements to it because like Fran said going in, you know, you don't really have many expectations because we didn't do that much googling. We wanted to be surprised by it.
Raeanne Fran
But like you said, we knew Neil diamond tribute band.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes, we knew that's part of it. Yes. Where you know, like you had to clarify, it is not a Neil diamond biopic. No. Which is actually such a fun spin on the movie and makes it even that much more interesting to me. Like you said, so funny. Heartwarming. You cry a little bit. It's a tear jerker.
Kate Hudson
It's a love story.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It is.
Kate Hudson
It's such a beautiful love story.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I loved their love so much. And now I'm so interested in researching the actual trailer.
Kate Hudson
Oh, wait till you see the documentary. It's wild. And the thing I got the most from their documentary. Cause the movie is actually based on the documentary. But the thing I got the most from. From that was. That was their love. Like how she Looked at him, she was just completely, like, madly. And they were so in love with each other. And I think it's the kind of love everyone longs to have, you know, and you think it's like all, you know, champagne and roses, but then life happens, and life, you know, takes you down twisty roads and. And when you have that kind of love, it gets you through anything. And it's just like, oh, it hits you. It hits you in a place that just right in the core of, like, what you hope you have in your life to get you through it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And you mentioned such a beautiful part of it where you're right. Like, it is at first. You know, they're just enamored with each other, and they love it, and you feel it. And also, you guys do such an excellent job portraying that. Like, I could feel the chemistry between you guys watching. And then on top of that, like you said, life happens, things get in the way, but they push through together. And you're right. It is beautiful. And, you know, you hope to watch movies like that.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, Well, I think it's like when they don't believe in themselves, they have each other to believe in them almost. For them, you know, it gets them through the hardest time. So, you know, when you have someone who believes in you, it does. It gets you on your feet. It picks you up. It gets you motivated to keep moving forward, hopefully. And that's what they do for each other. And then they fall in love through music like they love. You know, they'd love to perform. It would have been very easy to make fun of a couple like Mike and Claire. Right. They. Neil diamond is a very particular type of artist. They are. They love sequins. They are very committed to their act. And I think that when people would go see them, it was their commitment to Neil diamond and how they were on stage that made people just absolutely fall in love with them and have the best time enjoying their music. But it could have gone in another direction. Like Craig or any other director than Craig could have, you know, tipped it. Their accents and, you know, tipped it kind of over the edge, made it a little bit more tongue in cheek. And the fact that Craig, our writer, director, really just honored these people in every ounce of their commitment to have this big dream to just sing. And for them, their big dream was like, I want to sing in a casino. Like, I don't. It's not Madison Square Garden, you know, it's.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
It's.
Kate Hudson
It's a bar. A consistent singing job at a bar for them. Would have paid their bills and gave them a really happy life. Like, that's, you know, for them, their big dream. And it's just incredibly refreshing and heartwarming.
Raeanne Fran
That it is. And you, you mentioned the accents. One of the first things we turned to each other, we were like, she is crushing this Midwest accent. And it's. There's a certain type of Wisconsin Midwest accent.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
And I think you. You nailed it. So how did you kind of perfect that that accent?
Kate Hudson
There's a lot of different, actually accent, like, the Midwest is surprising. How different. It's almost like England. You know, there's like, within a small radius, there's like, you know, 10 different accents. The Wisconsin. I mean, I worked with someone worked for me for a very long time who has from Wisconsin. And I always used to make fun of her accent a little bit. But then I realized when I started working with Jess Platt, our dialect coach, that she said a ton of words wrong. Like, she used to say things. Her name was Kathy. She used to say things like, oh, I'm so sorry, and that's very Canadian, you know, But. But what I've realized was that she was over correcting her Wisconsin accent to try to be a little bit more generic, which then made some of her O's sound wild. So I showed up thinking, oh, I. I know this accent really well. And Jess was like, no, that's not how Wisconsin people say it.
Raeanne Fran
So.
Kate Hudson
And then I had Claire, who I wanted to make sure she has a very specific kind of voice. So I wanted to make sure that I wasn't sort of mimicking her voice, but that I had a certain kind of cadence to it that was similar to Claire's. And so I had the documentary, so it was like a bunch of different things that I had to study. And then honestly, it's like studying for an exam. You know, you study and study and study and study. And then once you get on set, hopefully it's just there and it's kind of like second nature, because the last thing you want to be doing is thinking about your accent when you're trying to do, you know, the hard stuff.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And like, you said, you know, you mentioned it, that Mike and Claire could be a couple that you would maybe make fun of. Right. Like, and you don't want that to come across, you know, the accents and all of that. It was so purely done. And then on top of that, you know, you're watching, and I don't want to spoil anything in the movie, but you're seeing some big performances and you know, sometimes you see, like, a tribute band or a cover band, and the person gets so into it, and you're like, wow, they really wish they were Neil Diamond. Or they really wish this, but they just wanted to be them singing. Yeah. Which I thought was really beautiful in the whole film. And also, the only thing better than your accent is your voice.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, my God.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Because.
Kate Hudson
Thank you so much.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
So true. Just getting to hear you sing in this way. And also just different because, you know, you're doing a little impersonation in the beginning, but then your real voice, it was amazing.
Kate Hudson
Thank you. I love to sing. This was fun. Cause I got to go to. I got to sing the Patsy Cline songs. And so that kind of. To try to get a little bit of her voice, you know, to more of a mimic. And then with the Neil diamond stuff, it's actually quite hard. Cause the register's a little weird. And for me, you know, and. And we had to create duets. So, you know, Craig, our director, brought us in before we started shooting the movie. We recorded the pre. Recorded the songs, and then. And then was like, we're also gonna sing them live. So we were all mic'd up and so that they could do a kind of a blend. But we got to go in the studio, Hugh and I got to get to know each other, which was really nice, because that was a good way to break the ice. And Craig really kind of left a lot of those harmonies up to me. We had a wonderful woman, did some scratch harmonies. We used some of those. But then he really let me explore and kind of find my own way of singing with Hugh, which I think was really great. Cause we got to know how we sang together, and it felt really good, you know? And then by the time we got on set, that was the easy part.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
You know, it almost felt like a thank God Kate Hudson is finally blessing us with her voice in a movie. But also really nice of you to kind of keep that locked in for a little bit, you know, because you're so talented in other ways. It's like, oh, and she has a phenomenal voice. On top of that, we can't sing.
Raeanne Fran
So it's always, like, funny. It's like, if we could sing, we'd be sing. We'd be telling everyone we can sing and do it all the time. But you also, you know, released your own album last year.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Raeanne Fran
And I wonder, like, what connection this movie had with that. Or vice versa, if you're doing music had any effect on the movie.
Kate Hudson
I think doing music Changed my life. Like, that was just. I mean, to take this movie out of the equation, it just completely changed everything for me. But for this movie in particular, Hugh actually saw me promoting my album, and that's why I got the part. He saw me on CBS Morning talking about why I had to make an album or why I finally had to be doing music, and for me. And he just called our director and was like, she has to play Claire. And I'd known our director for many years because when he did Hustle and Flow, which is such a great movie, and if you haven't seen it, you guys have to see that movie. You'll love it. And I saw him. I must have been, like, 24, and I saw that movie, and I was like, I have to meet this director. So I've known him a long time now. It was 20, almost 20 years.
Raeanne Fran
That's okay.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. I'm like, how many or 17.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
But he. So we finally got to work together. So he was immediately when Hughes said that he was game. Right. And it wouldn't have happened if I didn't make an album, this movie. So, yeah, I think making the choice to do something for myself, myself, without the expectation of an outcome has changed the way a lot of people have seen me, which I. Which internally, you know, which is really interesting. I. And. And I. I also, like, I feel like what you put out is what ends up coming back. Meaning, like, something happened in Covid. I love doing businesses. I love it. It's so much fun because I love a ton of different things. Like, I could do, like, I could do a business of, like, linens and napkins, and, you know what I mean? Like, I'm such an Aries.
Noah (producer or guest)
So bored.
Kate Hudson
Like, I could do a business of, like, shoes. I could. But something happened. My love is the arts. So, you know, I want to sing, I want to write, I want to dance, I want to act. And something happened in Covid where I was like, God, I mean, are we actually going to. Is this it? Like, that first three weeks of lockdown, I really was like, this is kind of freaky knowing someone that died having, like, things that. That around you that were happening. And then I was like, am I okay with dying like, right now? You know, obviously not with my kids, you know, that's a whole other thing. But, like, you know, I want to stay here for my kids, but, like, am I happy with my creative output? And it was a really fast no for me. And I think that was where I was like, I'm not really Doing the things that I want that I. That I'm. That I. That. That I really want to be doing. I love to write. I write. I write music and I like to write script. I haven't done that. And I. I hadn't done my music. I hadn't directed yet. I had so many things that I hadn't. Hadn't. I hadn't been doing the types of movies that I wanted to be doing. I've been a mom and doing business, and I finally was like, you know what? After Covid and after Rani gets a little bit bigger, I was like, I'm just changing direction. I'm changing the direction of how I think about my choices and the things I want to be doing. And it's been like, kind of a game changer for me, you know, and it really makes you think, like, it's really how you. What you put out. You know what I mean? Like, you're. It's really becomes about the choices that you're. That you're making and why you're making those choices.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That is so true. And I feel like, especially, you know, as we get older and we get comfortable in our jobs and positions, you go, okay, well, you know, this could be it. But I'm. I'm not pushing myself more. There's more that I want.
Kate Hudson
Right. You don't want to accomplish, upset the status quo and things are going good. You're sort of like, I don't want to shake. I don't want to, like, you know, shake things up.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah. Or we stop ourselves and go, that's. It'll never work. Well, it won't work until we try.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. Or you risk failure. And that's really, really, really scary. But in the arts, if you're not failing, you're not doing anything. You know, I mean, you have to fail in the arts to succeed at anything. There's no such thing as a successful creative career without failures. That's like an insane. Maybe Tom Cruise, but he's got some in there. There's some in there.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Well, also, it's incred because that's also a theme with Claire in the movie. Without giving too much away. Which is. Which is really beautiful and inspiring to hear. Exactly. Especially from someone like you, who we look up to. Right. Like you said, you can get your hand on anything you love creating businesses are doing it all. And we look at you and go, you know, Kate Hudson, she can do it all. But you still feel like there's more. You still wanna put yourself out there and accomplish more, which is so inspiring to everybody.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. Yeah. I think that. That, you know, forging forward is just my nature, and it's Claire's nature in the movie. You know, I mean, I. Again, it's hard, like life does. It would be irresponsible of me to, like, pretend that. I also haven't had moments where forging forward felt impossible, Whether it be in relationships, whether it be with certain situations with my children, whether it be in business, like. Like, you know, I feel very lucky and blessed. But, like, there are hard moments in your life. And my nature is to forge, like. Is to. I'm a bootstrap. You know, I pull up my bootstraps, and I like. You know, I like to be moving forward. And Claire is similar in the sense of, like, she really fights for joy. She's really fighting for. To, you know, for her life to be the best version of her life. And she struggles with a lot of mental health, and everybody will see it in the movie.
Raeanne Fran
I don't want to spoil it.
Kate Hudson
But, you know, she does. You know, it's an uphill battle for her a lot of times. So. But, like, when you meet Claire as a real person, her person, I mean, she smiles with her whole body, you know, you feel her joy with her energetically. It's like. And I find people like that just so inspiring. I want to be like that. You know what I mean? And it's a choice. It really is. It's something you have to choose to do, like, you know, as often as you possibly can.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Cracker Barrel is home to all the more country anytime. That means buttermilk pancakes whenever you want them. Homemade classics like chicken and dumplings.
Noah (producer or guest)
And a country store full of fun finds. Swing by and visit Cracker Barrel today.
Raeanne Fran
How much did you try to talk with her, you know, during the process of making the movie? Or did you kind of wait till afterwards?
Kate Hudson
Craig was very. He didn't really want me getting too close to the family in terms of getting stories and getting. He wrote a script. He liked his script. The last thing he wanted was, like, me or Hugh being like, what about the story that Claire just told me about? So he really wanted me to just, like, focus on the documentary, you know, talk to Rachel and Claire. And then I met them on set.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Okay.
Raeanne Fran
Amazing.
Kate Hudson
I know. It was. And it was so great. When she came on set, the whole crew came around and. Because her story really is inspirational and. And everybody just was clapping, and she was so emotional.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, it's. I'm sure it must be such a, like, disbelief for her to be like, I can't believe they're making a movie. And it's. And it's Kate Hudson, Hugh Jackman, playing me and my husband.
Kate Hudson
It's crazy Rachel, the daughter who in the movie is played by Ella Anderson, who's so great. So good, so good, so good. That's what Neil diamond does.
Raeanne Fran
Yes. So, you know, you realize how often.
Kate Hudson
You say so good, and then if you say it, we have to just say, it's so good.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Sweet Caroline. Yeah.
Kate Hudson
So. But. But Ella, Rachel, the real Rachel, came to set and was watching. There's a performance that we do towards the end of the movie, and she just lost it. And I was like, wow, what a. That must feel so wild to see Hugh Jackman playing your dad, you know, and you come from a small area in Wisconsin, simple life, and here, you know, your story is being made into a major motion picture. What a trip. That must have been so cool.
Raeanne Fran
Really. It really must. And the actor that plays your son.
Kate Hudson
In the movie, Hudson. I know. Hudson Henley.
Raeanne Fran
Truly. I think I cried every time he popped on the screen, either when he was dancing with joy or at the end of the movie. I was like, you can't do this to me. You can have him reach over that cup of coffee.
Kate Hudson
I went, oh, my God, he's so great.
Raeanne Fran
He's so, so good. What's. What's it like for you kind of working with these, you know, younger. These younger actors?
Kate Hudson
I love it. Yeah, I love it. You know, and Hudson, the younger ones, you, You. It's funny because they develop and you always go, like, so great. And you work with them. Hudson was wonderful. But you never know where their life is going to take them. They might want to continue acting. They might, you know, kind of go and veer off in a different direction. But ella Anderson, who's 20 years old, 19, when she filmed this. Actress, actress, actress. She's gonna be an actress. She knows she wants to be an actress.
Raeanne Fran
She's fantastic.
Kate Hudson
Seeing talent like that, that young and her. And it takes so much intelligence to make choices the way she made choices in this film. Super professional. So beautiful. Her face, like, just says so much.
Raeanne Fran
Like, she, she, she.
Kate Hudson
She's so emotive with just her eyes. I love it. I just can't. I just love seeing young talent. It's really exciting. So I can't wait to see what she does. And, you know, where. Where it all. You know, how it expands for her because she's. I think she's gonna do great things.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah, definitely.
Kate Hudson
We.
Raeanne Fran
I Was watching your actors on Actors with Jeremy Allen White.
Noah (producer or guest)
Oh.
Raeanne Fran
Which I love.
Kate Hudson
I haven't seen the whole thing yet.
Raeanne Fran
Oh, it's so good.
Kate Hudson
Yay.
Raeanne Fran
And he's so great.
Kate Hudson
He's so cute. Isn't he cute?
Raeanne Fran
He is adorable. But I think it's so funny because I think there's been some conversation about. And we've been talking about on our show. It's like, kind of something that Kristen Stewart has alluded to recently too. She had said that, like, you know, they were talking about men, really just diving into their, like. And she's like, have you ever seen a female method actor? It's like, oh, wait, I heard about this.
Kate Hudson
She's like, it's.
Raeanne Fran
It's like they can do so much and the same kind of thing. And I felt like you and Jeremy were having kind of a similar conversation.
Kate Hudson
Interesting.
Raeanne Fran
We really were. Because he seems like somebody who's like, I. When I'm in this character, forget it. Like, I'm in it. And you're like, no, I mean, I show up to work. I work. I really care about it. But, like, there's other things happening.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, well, I have to be a mom. I gotta go home. And although he does.
Raeanne Fran
He's a great.
Kate Hudson
He's a great father. And. But I know what, I know what she's saying, and I think she's so right on about that.
Raeanne Fran
I.
Kate Hudson
I, I don't know if there would be much tolerance for female method actresses, you know?
Raeanne Fran
Exactly.
Kate Hudson
You know, and, But I think that, I think, I mean, what we. We know. We know these stories. You know what I mean? It's. It's always like. It's the same thing to me as, like, how many chances a woman gets to actually, you know, have a movie that doesn't work Right? Like, how many opportunities are you gonna give that movie star or that actress that you're betting on opening a movie versus a male? And historically, women get one movie, and if it doesn't do well at the box office or two movies doesn't do well, they're not most likely gonna be betting on you. Whereas men, you see them get opportunities time and time and time again, they keep going. I don't know what that really is. I don't really understand it. And I'm all about, like, I look like.
Raeanne Fran
I love a good fact.
Kate Hudson
You know, if someone just gives me the facts, I'm. I get it. Right? But I. There is something just very, like, typical about the challenges between women in the industry and the not then the lack of challenges for men in our industry, it's just very. It's really fascinating. Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And I think as women, we're still trying to figure it out. Like you said, you're looking for a fact.
Kate Hudson
Well, like, I have this thing, right? Women sell. Sell everything, right? We sell the clothes, we sell products, we sell fashion, we sell magazines, we sell. And I believe we do sell movies. Men don't do any of that.
Raeanne Fran
We also buy, Right.
Kate Hudson
And so in the movie industry, they still have this sort of antiquated approach, like, oh, well, we're gonna pay this actor X amount of money, but we're gonna let the woman sell the movie. We're gonna put the woman out there. And this happens a lot. Not on this one, because he was the greatest man on the planet and is out there and does everything, you know, but men get away with not going out there and selling their movies. And it's really fascinating. And I'm like, Not like a. You know, I'm like, everybody should do whatever the fuck they want.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yes.
Kate Hudson
I mean, you know, if a man doesn't want to sell their movie, fine. I don't care, you know, And I still want to work with them. But I think what's interesting is how it's measured, right? So, like, you know, a woman can go out and have an amazing, like, household name, sell. Sell consumer products, but will not get paid the same as the male. The. The. The. The man that doesn't really sell anything, but somehow is getting paid twice as much. And I don't quite understand that. Right. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
I need someone to come and, like, give me all the. But I don't think they can measure it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
They wouldn't be able to back it up.
Raeanne Fran
I want to say, as far as facts, I think, you know, I don't want to just throw something out there, but I'm pretty sure that women made up the majority of new entrepreneurs, like, this year. Like, that was a big.
Kate Hudson
That would make sense.
Raeanne Fran
And it makes a ton of sense.
Kate Hudson
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Because if they gave you the metrics, then they would have to change. They would have to change everything.
Kate Hudson
Well, yeah, but it is fascinating. I wonder. I do wonder about that. Like, you know, you can. The movies are interesting. Cause really, like, you know, you do brand partnerships. They do brand partnerships. But then I'm. You're selling the brand partnership. But who's really, like.
Raeanne Fran
Right.
Kate Hudson
So, like, there's all these kinds of things that are happening inside of it. But at the end of the day, how do you really Decipher who should be getting paid what. It's kind of a fascinating thing these days.
Raeanne Fran
It is. And movies are obviously changing so much. And that's a whole. We could do a whole other podcast episode thing on that. But another thing you and Jeremy were talking about was just like, though, just the world of rom coms. You had said to him, you know, he should do a rom com. And you were talking about that.
Kate Hudson
And I know I want more guys who want to do that. They should.
Raeanne Fran
And I, they really should. Because I think right now we, we are out of that era of like the late 90s, early 2000s that we were just seeing. Some of the best movies were rom coms.
Kate Hudson
They're really not easy to make.
Raeanne Fran
And that's what I wanted to ask you because you were like, they're hard. I think people think that they're super easy. And we've seen that they can be hard because look how it's been going recently. It's like, it's like a needle in a haystack to get a good one.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Now something about that magic is missing.
Kate Hudson
You have to write a rom com like you're writing a movie that you want to be nominated for awards. Yeah. You don't write it to be a formula. There is a formula that is loved and there's a.
Raeanne Fran
There's a light. There's a light.
Kate Hudson
Fair version, fine, great. But those come and they go. You know what I mean? Those are like, you know, things that people go, oh, that was nice. And then they forget about it. Right. But like the real great rom com, on the heels of Rob passing tragically like, you know, When Harry Met Sally, these movies are written with it's great talent. It's great talent. It's great writing, it's movie stars. It's incredibly executed and acted, and there's an investment in it from the studio or from, you know, in this case, in the world we're living in now, it would be like, you know, streamers or wherever it's going that wants to make it a movie that is the best, the best film it could possibly be. There's a thing that has happened with it where it's like people think they know better about what those types of movies should be, and I believe they're incorrect. But like anything, you know, it takes someone who really understands them to fight for the right versions of them, which is all you can do. And my thing is, I wish guys would want to do them. The issue is, it's like the rom com curse. The second you Get a successful rom com, male or female. It's what people want to see you in. Yeah. So the studios want to see you in it. People want to see you in it. That's what they talk about all the time. They have a very hard time seeing you or wanting to see you outside of anything else because it made them feel something that they want to, like, latch onto. So it's like the blessing and the curse for an actor who then wants to go play, you know, you know, disappear into a role that's completely different. Yeah. So I can understand the hesitation.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Right.
Kate Hudson
We need.
Raeanne Fran
We need some more like, like Glenn Powell. He wants to do rom coms, and I think he followed, like, the McConaughey School of Acting or it's like, you know, he. Glenn Powell did multiple rom coms, and now he's also doing all of his action movies.
Kate Hudson
Well, Glenn. Glenn just wants to make big, great movies. Some of us want to see people, like, really in the theater, and it doesn't mean that the art is any less serious. And I, you know, I believe Glenn can do anything, but he also loves the moviegoing experience. And, like, so. And we're. I'm very close with Glenn, so, you know, and I am like him in the sense that I want to see people sitting in the movie theater having a communal experience. And not just with, you know, a superhero movie or something like that, but like things like Song Sung Blue or. Or a rom com or something, you know, you want to see. We, We. We. We love. We love our industry. Right. So it's like that. There's nothing like the communal theater experience. You know, it's so much fun. And it feels different when you're in a room full of people than when you're sitting at home and watching it yourself. And now more than ever, we are so isolated. People are isolated. People are lonely. And you go to the theater even when you're alone, and it feels like you feel connected and it's. That's a real thing, a real experience.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
I felt that way leaving the movie last night. I felt like it really did. Did stick with me. And there was a lot of emotion and a lot that made me think when I went to bed last night, which I think is the most beautiful experience you can have watching a movie. But I want to ask you, like, you know, you mentioned doing a rom com. You need to make that movie like it's going to win all the awards and people.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. Whether it does or doesn't. Yeah. Obviously that's the. You want to make the best possible version of it.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
When you made how to Lose a guy in 10 days and you're filming that movie, did you feel that. That magic that was going to happen afterwards?
Kate Hudson
Well, like, so that's a great example. So how does a guy. I'm 23 years old. It's the beginning of my career, but obviously I grew up in the industry. I understand the importance of writing. I had the most amazing producer, really, partner on that. Linda Obst. We had all so many great writers on that script, from Burr Steers to Audrey, who sadly passed away a couple many years back. And we went through, oh, my God, so many drafts to get the script right. And the whole thing was, we knew what the comedy was and we knew what the set pieces were. But, like, what's the heart of the movie? And what is it that's gonna keep people, like, wanting to watch this movie over and over and over again? And that really comes from, you know, working in the beginning with. With. With great writers. And then it was every step of the way, it was casting. You know, I disagreed with the way they wanted to cast the movie. And I almost left the movie because I was like, I don't want to do it with that person. I think it needs to be a different. A certain kind of movie star, you know, and then we all. Then we, you know, met with Matthew and that ended up being. I was like, yeah, that's. That's the guy. And, And. And.
Raeanne Fran
But.
Kate Hudson
But it takes, you know, having to fight for the movie and. Yeah. And so when we were doing it, I think we. Yeah, you do kind of feel it when you're. You never know how it's really gonna translate. And obviously you gotta get in the editing room. It's such a process. And making movies is hard. It's collaborative, but it's a process. You know, it's hard to make a movie, let alone one that's good and that, you know, then. Then it's hard to make that you want to. People want to see over and over again. I mean, that's like, you know, that's like the ultimate goal. But it takes so many amazing artists. You know, your editor, your. Your production designer, your director, your dp, your camera operators. Like, we're all in it together. When you're on set, you kind of feel it, but then you never know how it translates until you get in the editing room. And.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And you mentioned that with actors on actors talking about Almost Famous.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Which you said when, you know, leaving that movie, you cried your eyes out because you realized that you created something so special with those people, and then not knowing if you were going to make something like that ever again again.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, that was very unique because it was my first real experience. I had done a couple movies, but this was a very different kind of experience. I mean, we went to Rock School for like a month before we started shooting, and we were all in this experience together for six months.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
And.
Kate Hudson
Yeah, no, I. Not. Not that I would have that experience ever again. I knew I would never have that experience again. Because you never do it. Never. Nothing ever happens twice, you know, so that. That being over was like. It was just. It was so special. It was special for everyone. And. And Cameron is one of the great writer directors, and he just. He kind of creates this atmosphere on set that it's like you don't. I was like, I don't ever want to work for anyone else. Like, you just love him so much and. And being surrounded by that kind of music and every day was just. All of it. And it was hard work, you know, and long, long, long, very long hours. But you're working with the best of the best, you know. John Toll, our DP on that, was one of my favorite cinematographers of all time. Like, to be making art with John Toll is like. Like anybody's dream as an actor, you know? Yeah. And that was. Yeah. I'll never forget when that ended. It was sad.
Raeanne Fran
Do you have a favorite Penny Lane moment?
Kate Hudson
A Penny Lane moment when we were shooting?
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
Oh, my God. I mean, There's so many. There's so many. I think. I think one of the most memorable scenes to shoot was the big choreographed scenes, like through lobbies and stuff. Those were always fun.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
That's cool. Yeah.
Kate Hudson
Yeah. I always love doing. It's always so fun when you're working, when you're, like, doing a dance with your camera operator with your Steadicam, and, like, everybody's in it together. You know, every once in a while in your career, you do something where you're so interconnected, so interconnected with everything. And everybody has to be, like, on point. There's a great scene in the lobby of the Hyatt in LA where I end up talking to Peter Frampton. I think it's the same one as Bowie. The Bowie in the lobby. But there's a whole scene where we kind of. The camera sort of takes us through the. This lobby. And I remember that so well. Cause there were so many moving parts and so many extras, and everybody had to be on point. That was really fun.
Raeanne Fran
Yeah.
Kate Hudson
And one of my favorite moments was when Cameron asked me to stay late and do the Palladium. The when I'm dancing after the gig and he's like, I just want to put a camera up there. And we just. It was just like a couple of us and it was really quiet and Cameron played music and he just. And. And I have to say, like, as someone who always wrote music and loved music, that was also one of those moments. Like, that's my happy place. Like, I love being in places of music, you know, and. Yeah, well, I won't forget that.
Co-host (possibly Ria)
Well, not to put our producer on the spot, but it's his favorite movie of all time.
Noah (producer or guest)
Not to be weird, but I have, like a giant poster of your face.
Co-host (possibly Ria)

Raeanne Fran

Co-host (possibly Ria)
