Favorite movie of all time. The Princess Bride is a great one.

Young Hollywood

Well and and I feel like too I was thinking maybe you'd choose a scary movie. A scary movie. Or actually Get Out is a great film. I just watched that. It's it's a new one and it's really really good. Oh, I love that. And we were talking a little bit earlier about how when you see a movie, you see it not just as the movie but you see all the technical parts of it because

Telisa Bateman

Because I've seen mics actually sometimes now like in the back of someone's shirt. I watch for that now because I know on set sometimes I can see it myself and I'm like, oh, can you guys hide this for me? And now I've seen it in different films or even like continuity. Like seeing someone that glass like half full and then like all the way filled up. That drives me crazy.

Young Hollywood

That would be a fun game to like sit down and watch

Telisa Bateman

It's like a huge pet peeve of mine now. It bugs me now because now I can't even watch it.

Young Hollywood

You have your expert eye. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, your birthday's coming up.

Telisa Bateman

My birthday is coming up.

Young Hollywood

Are you a Virgo?

Telisa Bateman

I am a Virgo. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Go girl. If you could choose one birthday wish, what would it be?

Telisa Bateman

One birthday wish. I don't know actually. I never Can it be like magic like get magical powers?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Wait like anything get like five billion dollars.

Telisa Bateman

Yes. It's probably a pretty greedy one.

Young Hollywood

If you get five billion dollars, come back here because you made the wish here and we'll celebrate.

Telisa Bateman

That would be insane. If I got five billion dollars, I don't even know what I would do with it.

Young Hollywood

Do you have any birthday plans?

Telisa Bateman

Well, with seven siblings, it's more of just like, happy birthday, Telisa.

Young Hollywood

I only have one sister. So, I can't imagine what it would be like if there were seven more of them.

Telisa Bateman

It's like having seven built-in best friends. Oh.

Young Hollywood

I love that.

Telisa Bateman

They're all like different parts of me.

Young Hollywood

And you're the youngest, right?

Telisa Bateman

Second youngest. Okay. So I have one sibling to boss around.

Young Hollywood

Okay. That makes things That makes things a little bit better.

Telisa Bateman

Definitely. It makes it easier for me.

Young Hollywood

So, what do you think to be on the younger side of the family, what's the best thing about that?

Telisa Bateman

The best thing is your parents are a little easier with you. Like they get more trouble because they're supposed to be the responsible ones. True. So if I get in trouble, I can just play like the Oh, I'm sorry. But then they get in a lot of trouble. So that's the better part of it. And I feel like being on the younger side of the family, you learn to be a little sneaky. Yeah. You kinda do your own thing quietly. Manipulative. But we really support each other and I think we're all really proud of each other. So that's really nice.

Young Hollywood

And I feel like too when you have a lot of siblings, people give each other nicknames. And sometimes they're funny. Do you have a nickname?

Telisa Bateman

I do. My nickname is TT, Teets McGee, McGee. It just became shorter. Now it's just Gee sometimes. I love that. And then Teets with the stinky feet. It's like just anything that rhymes basically.

Telisa Bateman

Sister, you always say that even though we can't see God, we can feel His presence. In this house, I feel a different kind of presence. When the evil one. It's coming after me.

Young Hollywood

Talk to me a little bit about Comic-Con. You were just at Comic-Con and you had a big week because you had your premiere.

Telisa Bateman

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

So tell us a little bit about how you're feeling. Are you so excited?

Telisa Bateman

It's kind of all over now, which is really nice because it was so much like to be in with. We did I think like 63 interviews one day. Oh my god. It was exhausting. But the interviewers were so nice. They made you feel really comfortable and relaxed and it was actually a lot of fun. It just flew by.
