I'm doing fine and great.
I can work with that. Fine. Yeah, I'm doing good. So, well, you guys, it's so good to see you because I actually, I was looking back in our archives. It's been since 2017 since I saw you both.
Oh, wow.

Thank you.
Yeah.
It's been it's fun, yeah, it's been fun.
Yeah, I can imagine. Also, I have to really say congrats on the movie because you guys got me good. I have to say, you scared me like crazy.
Oh, well, he did most of the scaring.
Yeah. Honestly.
You like, I didn't think kind of. You're pretty scary at some points.
Yeah, I'm a little bit scary.
You're pretty creepy when you're just like kind of standing there, you know?
That's good though. Just going to I'm just going to at night I'm just going to stand in the middle of your door.
Okay, see, that's what I'm talking about. Also, I was sitting in the back of the screening room like far back and it was it was creepy, but it's a nod to you. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Yes. So, what made you guys want to sign on to this?
Um I didn't. But then I heard he was playing my brother, and I was like, um I'm doing it.
Thank you. That's a real story.
Yeah, that is.
And it's awesome. And I also I didn't I didn't end up watching Florida Project. If I did watch Florida Project, I would have done it I would have done it even more because like I would have I would have been even more uh like positive about it. But um uh I really like the character, and Floria is a or amazing director was so positive about the whole thing, and she knew exactly what she wanted, and um she uh yeah, she just set up the this amazing kind of um this kind of vibe from her um that I could really tell she was really passionate about it. She was really passionate about the project, so I wanted to come out and help her. Yeah. And she did an awesome job for sure.
Yeah. She's amazing.
So, speaking of the film, it takes place in that huge house like the entire time. So, I want to know, anything weird happen on set? Any ghost stories you can tell?
No. I know, I know that sucks, but
What? Really? We don't.
Honestly, we had a fun time making it, and people really hate when people when we say that. Because they're like, what? Because like, we really we don't want to make up a story that would be lying. So.
There's nothing.
Exactly. But uh, but we had fun. There's we um we tried to make it as like light as possible on set, so it's fun.
Okay, so I'm going to change the question then. Anything weird's ever happened to either of you just outside of the film then? Fun ghost stories.
I Um, a lot of my parents and people I know have had those stories. Um, I'm only nine, and I have, well, I do have a big imagination. Sometimes when I feel like I'm walking like at night, um down like the hallway to go to the bathroom, um I feel like someone's behind me. But um, I know that's just my imagination. But um, I I believe in ghosts though, so.
Yeah. I mean, I would too. They're real.
Yeah.
I haven't had a supernatural, but we did shoot in this uh for a movie. I was in this really weird uh abandoned building where like a bunch of people died in it. Um, and it yeah, it felt when we went in, we were like, oh, this doesn't feel good at all shooting here. But uh, you know, nothing no no like banging on the walls or anything, no like apparitions or anything.
Well, on a lighter note, Finn, your band, The Aubreys, they're featured on the soundtrack. Yes. Congratulations. That's super cool.
Thank you.
How did that come about?
Well, um,
You guys are so cute.
Ah. Um, we so, um, I just was writing more music and um didn't really and and Floria said, um, hey, my husband Laurence, her husband is Laurence Rothman, who's this amazing musician and producer in LA, and so I went for a day and and uh we had a riff from I had a riff from like a year before, and then went to Floria's house and recorded it, and it was a day and it was it was uh really fun and easy. I'm glad um it happened.
So, who are you guys listening to when you're not working?
Um, um, I listen to a lot of Queen, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, I love all that stuff. I like some of the new
Frank Sinatra is the best.
music. I like some of the new music. Um, my favorite song right now is Into the Unknown only because like it plays all the time and like it's a real good power ballad to start off the day.
Mhm. You have some good taste, girl.
Thank you.
I could not have answered that question like any better. Um,
That's why you guys get along.
Yeah, I know. I know.
Yeah, we um I've been listening to a lot of other band called Wilco. They're like a classic, they're amazing from Chicago. I've listened to that and I've um like a lot of Pavement and Neil Young and like a lot of that kind of like folk music as well. Um, yeah, I've been listening, yeah, to a bunch of stuff.
Cool. So, going back to the movie, I want to know what was the hardest thing about filming and then what was the most fun?
The hardest thing was leaving. Aw. Um, the most funnest thing was um, you know, getting to hang out with everybody, getting to create this movie, this beautiful, wonderful movie that I I think is really going to get a lot of um, uh, what do you call it? Attention. Yeah, attention. Um, and I just I loved it all. Yeah.
What about you, Finn?
Um, yeah, I think the hardest part was just I would say the hardest part was when we got snowed in. There was a specific We It snowed in Ireland, like it snowed more than most in 40 years. So, we were snowed into our hotel for like three or four days. We couldn't leave. And it was on a hill, so like no cars could get up. So, we were just stuck in the hotel for four days. At least it was a hotel.
Oh, did you have more to the story?
I went sledding. Cool. It was still fun. It just like I went sledding and I built a snowman, but still I was missing set and like.
After the second day, you're like,
Yeah. After the second day, I'm like, I am done with snow. Yeah. I'm like, snow, snow, go away. Come back another day.
Mhm. I love that.
We want to finish our movie. That's right. Yeah. Nice. Yeah.
Okay, so because the movie scared me so much, truly, I have a weird thing with like ghosts and the paranormal, it really freaks me out. So, I want to know, what scares you guys in real life?
One word. Uh What is it? Pennywise.
Ooh, okay. Pennywise scares her. Yeah. Uh I get that. Yeah.
Um, to me, it's like like street rats. They're so gross. I think they're uh, I hate rats so much.
When we were doing putting the hand in the box, there was like something furry in there.
Ew. But like he thought it was a spider, so he won't put it or like um a rat, so like he I didn't put in my hand. No. I hate rats so much. There and like mice, like little mice, like pet mice are like cute. Like, I get it. But like an possum, like, dude, so gross. Like, I don't
So, you must not have fun in like New York subways then, huh?
Uh, I have yet to see a New York rat. I've Yeah. I'm very shocked, too. But let's just pray. Knock on wood. Is there any wood in here? Let's pray.
One moment for Finn. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Finn, also, I do want to bring up. The last time I saw you, I asked you what your strangest phobia was. Can you guess what you said?
Did I say like bananas or something? It's not It's not I'm scared of them. I hate bananas. They're disgusting. They're like my least favorite food.
