Can we do some morfin faces? One, two, three. It's happening. Hey guys, it's Audrey and it is officially morfin time because I have all of the Power Rangers. It's morfin time. It's so powerful. To see all of you together. I feel like we should morphe, or you guys should morph like right now.

Dacre Montgomery

Well, I have only at the perfect temperature I my clothes this morning. It has to be a perfect temperature right? For us already

Ludi Lin

Well, my pants are too tight Every step is like a morphe to Daker right now and.

Young Hollywood

Wow, I was going to ask what was it like when you first got to put on your Power Rangers to suit up and and into your into your role.

Dacre Montgomery

Daker's pants. Yeah. Probably tighter.

Ludi Lin

I think it was mixed emotions for for everyone. I think obviously like we're becoming Power Rangers, you know, and a part of that is is the suits the um the whole process of putting them on in the other case. Uh was very it took it was a long process. It was like the first fitting was like three hours.

Young Hollywood

Wow. It's kind of multi stepped, right?

Ludi Lin

First you get uh you know you're going to put on the suit and you're all excited. You get to the wardrobe place and first they put on this like skin suit and this brown suit that makes you look like a big piece of poop. And then after all the armor is on you're like, oh God that's cool. And then you see the movie and how it mixes in with all the special effects and and then it's finally complete.

Young Hollywood

Had no idea that it was so involved. Uh Power Rangers. I mean, I grew up with the Power Rangers and and they were a huge part of my childhood. What about for you all.

Becky G

Yeah, definitely. Uh some of us, well some of us more than others. Uh I used to watch it with my brothers Broderick and Stephen and then we would try to do the things that they did on the TV show. We broke a lot of furniture. Um definitely. So, um, I'm sorry Grandpa. I apologize for that.

Young Hollywood

Oh your ceiling fan and two doors. This feels like more of like a like a spiritual successor to or or the or the original Power Rangers and this is this is definitely an update to what we were thinking. Oh you see the

Ludi Lin

I don't think I can confirm nor deny but it looks like that. It looks it looks that way. Well, obviously this is uh another beauties of it's a reboot and it's a origin story as well. So So We imagine obviously how how we become Power Rangers. That's kind of what it is and these kids aren't perfect. They're going through stuff and I think that's what's what's different about and obviously it looks very different.

Young Hollywood

Well, I want to do a little game called ride or die Ranger. So I want to go down the line and you give me which Ranger you would pick to ride with and the one you would die for. So, so uh no pressure Ludi, you go first.

Ludi Lin

Oh, okay. Oh, you want to go first? I mean, look, I love I love everyone here so so much. Um, but the character but as far as if it was the characters, right? I had to choose. Um I would ride with Kimberly all day. I'm all about the girl power and I think the the cool part about this is that there's two female leads that are working together and aren't pitted against each other. Um, it's not like oh one has to be the great one and the successful one. It's like we really do work together and um hatch out like the conflict that you may see in in the beginning when we first get to know each other. Um, and then I would die for Billy. Uh because in this movie the Blue Ranger really reminds me actually of um, and he knows this. We had a great conversation about it. My little brother Alex, uh who's actually diagnosed with autism when he was very young and Billy's character, um reminds me a lot of my brother and it makes me really proud that my brother can watch this movie and be like, hey, he's he's kind of like me. You know what I mean? And so, uh that's that's for me. That's somebody I would, yeah.

RJ Cyler

Um, I think if I was to ride, right? I would ride with Trini cuz she a little edgy, you know what I'm saying? Like on some G stuff. I know that when push came to shove, she going to push too, you know. Um, if I had to die for someone though. I don't think it If I had to die for someone, it'd probably Goodness gracious. I know that's a tough one. Cuz I would die for each and every character, right? For different reasons.

Young Hollywood

Well, you guys make a a great team and and something I've always loved about the Power Rangers just how much diversity there is and diversity of all kinds. Before we go, what are can we do some morfin faces? Morphin just looks like a bunch of wind in your face. One, two, three. It's happening. No worries. That was yeah. Yeah. He could have done. Guys. This is a real actor, you see. He actually goes for it. You know, you just committed. I think it was theater. This
