So last night was the premiere of ben and laurens new show called ben lauren happily ever after question mark . Making plan bes, he and lauren 0 to have lunch with jo jo and jordan, a happy foursome. Ch why wouldnt they do that . If anything, i do believe its important we go to lunch with them. At least give it a shot. Obviously ben and jo jo have a history. The last few words spoken to each other, i love you and goodbye. That makes me uncomfortable. Weve spent so much time trying to distance ourselves and do us that seems like were, like, putting ourselves in the middle of it once again. I dont want to resent jo jo. Think thats my biggest fear is i dont know if meeting up and having lunch will bring back those memories from months ago. A million things could go wrong at lunch today, and i am worried about every single one of those things. Oh my god. Oh my god. [ laughter ] why did they go to lunch . What was the whole point .

For us, all a wakeup call for all of us but definitely to make sure our sisters okay. And not share so much . Maybe things have changed a lot . That and make s protected as well as possible. Like i said, were a family, well do this together, and it is important to make those adjustments and pull back a little bit i think, is always smart. Yep, yep. Whats interesting about that. Of course, you know about the relationship i have, had for 35 years, with certain members of the family, and i was stunned when my mom said to me at one point, i love that show. Uhhuh. My mother do you know i said, mom, why . She goes, because at the end of uhhuh. Yeah. Thats the appeal, apparently. I would have bet of all the people in the world that my mother would find the show horrifying in many respects. She loves seeing the family stick together. Yeah. Sisters always there for one another and good to hear khloe or someone from the family speak up. But other families in the world that are very, very dysfunctional, hoda. And weird.

Oh hi baby . They are two of the most acclaimed and accomplished actresses in hollywood. Kristen stewart and laura dern. A movie called certain women. Kristen stewart teaches night school that unexpectedly bonds with a student. Mom works in a school cafeteria. My sister in a hospital laundry, so the nicest girl from my family is supposed to get. Laura plays a lawyer whose client has become more of a thorn than her side. Thats for sure. Now, youre going to have to get out. All right. I out. You cant say those things to me. You cant talk like that never mind. Okay. Well, they both stopped by our studio to talk about the film which opened friday. We started by asking them what drew them to this project. Its three different womens stories. Somehow linked. I dont want to give everything away. What was the the thing about the script that made you all want to be a part of this . Because its also michelle williams, another great i mean, i think we were all in love with kelly rreichardts work as a filmmaker. Great to work with someone who creates their vision and make as film she wants to protect and protects it fiercely. To be a part of that journey was interesting. You liked the writer . Yeah, i do. I wasnt familiar with those stories, and they are quite like, the spirit, but kelly made them very much her own. Yeah. I mean, you know, its about three women that you wouldnt necessarily draw an immediate connection between all three necessarily, but there is a sort of i dont know. Like a spiritual through line. Its easy to say, oh, its a movie about strong women. You know . But i think its really more about the unresolved and the sort of, like receding that can happen in order to protect your thats kind of what i see with all three of them. You see very, very, very clee versions of these women that are kind of just beneath the surface and youre like, come on out. Come on out your character, seems you are living in your own kind of pain, and playing opposite another woman who is living in her world, and its so fun toy watch you two interact and not connect at all. Its like you sit there together, and youre each living in your own worlds. Theyre having conversations, but entirely different conversations. Theyre just on totally ways, too. An interesting subliminal theme were starting to talk about just getting to do press and having now seen the finished film. Sometimes you learn a lot in these yeah [ laughter ] thats what you were thinking. Its a bit in the air with our current political climate, and this concept of female first. This idea of three women who perhaps have receded also because theyve lived so completely in whats considered a mans world. Yes. Thank you for mention theyve selfprotected. Yes. In order to get through some of the sexism theyve dealt with, in very subtle and not overt ways but interesting to consider. You like these kinds of films, talking about your Oscar Nominations and big films. What is it about these kinds of movies that appeal to you . You know, i was very lucky to be raised by two actors who when they were first taking me to sets in the 70s and i was yeah. They were complicated. They were fierce. They were messy. Uhhuh. And there was zero judgment about it. Suddenly now, like, wow women in movies who are complicated . This is so cutting edge. Authenticity. Just getting back to bake stuff. Circle back to something. Imagine that . Uhhuh. That should be the norm. That people are complicated and people have flaws, and we can honor that. And a reason for it. There really is. Takes a lot of time with the foot fetish, all im going to see. See lots of feet. Lots of feet. Interesting. Thank you so much. How much seats did i just sell for you .
