Speaker 1: that's a good wig. It's a good right. Yeah, I
0:33
Speaker 1: didn't even know. Thank you, But I was telling you
0:35
Speaker 1: that I went to go see Hunk for Jesus in
0:36
Speaker 1: the movies, and I haven't been to the movie theater
0:39
Speaker 1: since before the pandemic, so it was a great experience
0:41
Speaker 1: to go and for that to be like the first
0:43
Speaker 1: movie I went back to see, it felt good. Well,
0:46
Speaker 1: thank you for going to the movies, because yeah, it's
0:48
Speaker 1: I have to say. When I started going back the
0:51
Speaker 1: first time I went, I was like, it's a nice experience.
0:54
Speaker 1: Did you get popcorn? I got sur pass kids, and
0:58
Speaker 1: I went to the ipicks. I got to order a
1:00
Speaker 1: drink from my seat. Oh you got you got to
1:03
Speaker 1: win with the Yeah, yeah, that didn't given a blanket.
1:06
Speaker 1: I watched it on Peacock. Oh you did that? It
1:09
Speaker 1: all comes. Does it change how you approach movies when
1:13
Speaker 1: you do them now, depending on what it's gonna be on?
1:15
Speaker 1: Not really just if I like it, because you know,
1:18
Speaker 1: this one wasn't independent. Okay, so we did it not
1:22
Speaker 1: knowing well if anybody was gonna see it, you do pray,
1:26
Speaker 1: but you know, And then it went through the festival
1:28
Speaker 1: route um and then Peacock and Focus acquired it. They
1:32
Speaker 1: bought it also part of your production company, right rh negative. Yes, yeah,
1:37
Speaker 1: it's the first thing. That's that huge deal. Yeah, we
1:41
Speaker 1: were excited. You know. The Ebo Twins, they're just they're
1:45
Speaker 1: I just like them. They have a nice I just
1:48
Speaker 1: think they have an interesting point of view about things,
1:50
Speaker 1: especially right now. So it was their writing debut, also
1:54
Speaker 1: right for our future. Okay, so explain it, so break
1:56
Speaker 1: it all down for us, so we know so they
1:58
Speaker 1: so so basically, the Evo Twins wrote a script. They
2:01
Speaker 1: did a short before we even came to be sent
2:04
Speaker 1: the script where I read the script, loved it, and
2:07
Speaker 1: watched the shorts, and then they went out and raised
2:10
Speaker 1: the money basically, and we shot the film in Atlanta,
2:14
Speaker 1: and then after we shot the film, they edited then
2:17
Speaker 1: a pretty short amount of time and then we um
2:19
Speaker 1: it made it into Sundance and then m yeah, that
2:24
Speaker 1: was it. Focus Universal I bought Jordan Peel actually was
2:27
Speaker 1: the one whose deal is at Focus. That loved it
2:30
Speaker 1: and then and then Focused Universal ended up. That's an
2:33
Speaker 1: amazing first look for all of you. Yeah, I thought
2:35
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a screen comedy, but then it
2:38
Speaker 1: got real darker. What do you think when you saw
2:41
Speaker 1: the script? I know, I thought it was gonna be
2:43
Speaker 1: a well, you know what, Well, I thought a lot
2:47
Speaker 1: of things probably, but yeah, there was a point where
2:50
Speaker 1: you read it and you're like, oh, it's funny, and
2:51
Speaker 1: then it just starts taking turns that are really Oh, look,
2:56
Speaker 1: it's so weird. I got DejaVu because I just saw
2:58
Speaker 1: you um, and then it got really and then it
3:04
Speaker 1: does get dark, but I was happy that it has
3:07
Speaker 1: something to say. Absolutely that was important. What's your experience
3:11
Speaker 1: with church growing up? So my grandmother went to a
3:14
Speaker 1: Baptist church, So in the summers, I would go to
3:16
Speaker 1: a Baptist church and then but my mother raised us
3:20
Speaker 1: in like a non denominational, like really kind of quiet
3:23
Speaker 1: church because she had grown up in the South and
3:25
Speaker 1: Baptist churches. So I love singing in churches, like I
3:29
Speaker 1: love to go. I've been to every church in La.
3:32
Speaker 1: If it's a church in La, I've been there because
3:34
Speaker 1: I just I like it. Why can't you find a
3:38
Speaker 1: church home? It's why you know what I have Because
3:41
Speaker 1: sometimes I would like the singing, maybe not the message.
3:45
Speaker 1: Sometimes I would like there was one church I loved it,
3:48
Speaker 1: but you know, the neighborhood. It was a lot of
3:50
Speaker 1: members were gang members, and so she was really preaching
3:53
Speaker 1: to people trying to get out the game. We were
3:56
Speaker 1: just talking about it, and I was like, I don't
3:58
Speaker 1: me and my friend used to be like, I don't
4:00
Speaker 1: know if this message is for us. So then you know,
4:02
Speaker 1: it's kind of finding what resonates um. I really have
4:06
Speaker 1: to know. Did you have any reservations when you first
4:08
Speaker 1: read the script? Because religious folks don't play about church
4:11
Speaker 1: in religion in Jesus, Yeah, so did you have any
4:13
Speaker 1: reservations because of day? Well, I mean I think we
4:16
Speaker 1: knew that we that there were going to be people
4:20
Speaker 1: and groups who were not necessarily going to um enjoy
4:26
Speaker 1: the movie. But no, I mean I think I think
4:30
Speaker 1: I liked the world and the character, and I mean
4:33
Speaker 1: I think that's a part of what you know, art
4:37
Speaker 1: has the ability to do, so, you know, I mean,
4:41
Speaker 1: I thought they came from a very respectful place. But
4:43
Speaker 1: you know, those are issues that churches have faced publicly privately,
4:47
Speaker 1: so it's not like we expose something. But I guess
4:51
Speaker 1: it maybe hasn't done been done in the movie. But yeah,
4:54
Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly was aware that there could be
4:57
Speaker 1: I mean Sterling too, but I think because we both
4:59
Speaker 1: do respect the church, we felt like it was at
5:03
Speaker 1: least coming from a place of good intention. I saw
5:07
Speaker 1: a lot of people tweeting this is Oscar's worthy and
5:10
Speaker 1: this is Regina Hall's Oscar moment. What did you think
5:13
Speaker 1: about that? Did you see all of that as it
5:15
Speaker 1: was trending on social media? You know, I'm not on Twitter,
5:18
Speaker 1: so it's horrible. It's not on my phone. I don't
5:20
Speaker 1: I'm not good on social media. But that is so
5:22
Speaker 1: nice to hear. Actually, one of my friends called and said,
5:26
Speaker 1: maybe it's doing well on Twitter. You did a phenomenal
5:31
Speaker 1: job in that though. I have to say, as I'm
5:33
Speaker 1: Trinity was your character, but seeing how you were able
5:37
Speaker 1: to flip from being like the first lady in the
5:39
Speaker 1: church to being angry to telling somebody go fuck yourself
5:43
Speaker 1: to saying God bless me, you know, in the span
5:46
Speaker 1: of just a few seconds. I mean, I thought you
5:48
Speaker 1: did an amazing job. How did you feel while you
5:51
Speaker 1: were playing this role? And how did you even prepare
5:52
Speaker 1: for it? You know I did. There's a lot of
5:55
Speaker 1: information and like first with First Ladies online YouTube, they
5:59
Speaker 1: have a lot of shows. I spoke to some, but
6:01
Speaker 1: they do have shows and some more prominent First Ladies.
6:05
Speaker 1: I looked at a lot of their stuff and I
6:08
Speaker 1: read a lot of stuff. I mean, I just did research.
6:11
Speaker 1: I think I just I did feel like when I
6:14
Speaker 1: watched them, they had a m you know, it's always well,
6:18
Speaker 1: you're married, right, so we will never know what your
6:23
Speaker 1: wife does to support you. But I'm going to assume
6:26
Speaker 1: it's a lot, right, Oh, absolutely so. I just think
6:28
Speaker 1: it's that idea that like you might not see what
6:31
Speaker 1: a spouse, in this case, the first lady of a
6:34
Speaker 1: church does for the support when her her you know,
6:39
Speaker 1: man is facing public kind of difficult situations. But then
6:45
Speaker 1: they also have a real issue, and then of course
6:47
Speaker 1: she has her relationship to God, and I think that's
6:49
Speaker 1: why she feels very um committed to the covenant of marriage.
6:55
Speaker 1: That's the only part that felt unrealistic was that he um,
6:58
Speaker 1: I don't give too much away, but he didn't. There
7:00
Speaker 1: was never a moment where he was worried about you.
7:03
Speaker 1: It seems like it was just always about him in
7:06
Speaker 1: the church. Narcissisted. Yeah, yeah, you ever dealt with anybody
7:10
Speaker 1: like that? I don't think I've ever it's ever been
7:16
Speaker 1: that extreme, that extreme, But I mean, I guess it
7:19
Speaker 1: depends on points people are at in their life, you know.
7:23
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I've had I've had really
7:27
Speaker 1: nice people I've you know, I mean, I'm friends probably
7:30
Speaker 1: I would say with everyone mostly that I've dated, and
7:33
Speaker 1: they they were well, no, you know what, Now that
7:37
Speaker 1: I think about it, there was one who was a
7:38
Speaker 1: little bit like, now that I think about it, there
7:41
Speaker 1: was one. But we're friends now, so it's fine. But yeah,
7:44
Speaker 1: he was like, I didn't get it when you were
7:46
Speaker 1: saying it, I didn't get it. You know it took him.
7:49
Speaker 1: It took him like two years, have you that has
7:52
Speaker 1: happened to you for him to for him to really
7:54
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I didn't really grasp the magnitude of
7:57
Speaker 1: what I did. You know, what I do have an
7:59
Speaker 1: exploy and who this thing that I've been working on.
8:01
Speaker 1: I actually interviewed him about why he used to do
8:04
Speaker 1: the things that he did, and we had a we
8:06
Speaker 1: never even had a conversation about it when we broke up,
8:08
Speaker 1: but it was interesting to hear what he had to
8:10
Speaker 1: say and for him to hear what I had to say, right, Yeah,
8:14
Speaker 1: sometimes this perspective and you have to get a little
8:16
Speaker 1: bit of distance away from it. Yeah, you think you
8:19
Speaker 1: could stand by a man who had those like specific allegations. No, well,
8:26
Speaker 1: Regina couldn't know Gina could. I was like, I know
8:33
Speaker 1: that was that was sad, right, It was all yeah, yeah, unfulfilled.
8:41
Speaker 1: Can we do it the other way this time? Like
8:43
Speaker 1: what I know? Right? Right? But I really think that
8:47
Speaker 1: she thought this is the this is this is the
8:50
Speaker 1: crossroad he's facing. We can pray this away and that
8:55
Speaker 1: and and I really and then you saw the scene
8:58
Speaker 1: with her mother. I think I think that was the
9:00
Speaker 1: reason she felt compelled in church. You feel like you
9:05
Speaker 1: can't get a divorce, like it's the worst thing. My
9:07
Speaker 1: grandfather uses him my mom all the time, Like, no
9:10
Speaker 1: matter what, divorce is wrong, you have to stay married.
9:13
Speaker 1: Once you get married, it's forever. You may they feel
9:16
Speaker 1: like it could divide the church, you know, and then
9:18
Speaker 1: like so sometimes even if they're living separate lives publicly,
9:22
Speaker 1: they'll just stay together. But that's the beauty of the movie.
9:25
Speaker 1: The beauty and movie shows that people can you can
9:27
Speaker 1: be human, but y'all are still human even though you're
9:30
Speaker 1: passed in the first lady, Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, I
9:33
Speaker 1: mean I think listen, if you know, he has his
9:36
Speaker 1: things that he's I don't even want to say struggles
9:38
Speaker 1: with because that makes it seem like it's something bad.
9:41
Speaker 1: He has his reality of who he is that he
9:44
Speaker 1: just can't because he can't ever really live out because publicly, right,
9:51
Speaker 1: he can't stop, but he can't stop himself. And like
9:55
Speaker 1: maybe if he were allowed to do him, they would
9:58
Speaker 1: have been best friends. She would have met somebody else
10:01
Speaker 1: that was more appropriate, and then he would have met
10:03
Speaker 1: someone who was more appropriate, and then they would have
10:06
Speaker 1: gone to dinner together and when you wouldn't have had
10:08
Speaker 1: the bedroom scene. Can you imagine now a picture this
10:12
Speaker 1: in real life? No, when we did. When I've read
10:17
Speaker 1: the bedroom scene, I was like, this is worse than
10:21
Speaker 1: doing a love scene. Like it was more offered for
10:24
Speaker 1: us to do that scene than if we had done
10:26
Speaker 1: like a hot and heavy scene, just because of the
10:32
Speaker 1: subject matter and the and the the dialogue. It was
10:36
Speaker 1: sad because they you know, she wasn't gonna no less
10:39
Speaker 1: she had lay there mad because that would piss you off. Oh,
10:42
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, And that's the reality of how it
10:45
Speaker 1: was always happening. That was oscar worthy to look at
10:47
Speaker 1: disappointment on your face after you did what you did
10:49
Speaker 1: to him and then he slept, he did no shame,
10:56
Speaker 1: no no. And then I also was thinking, and I
11:00
Speaker 1: might have been reading too deep into this, but all
11:01
Speaker 1: these scenes, but the different hats, you know, And I
11:03
Speaker 1: was like, she wears a lot of different hats too.
11:05
Speaker 1: Oh that's how. But I think they might not have
11:09
Speaker 1: been thinking like that because no, but I could use
11:11
Speaker 1: it would be like with the hats symbolized the many
11:15
Speaker 1: different hats. No, but it is, yeah, I mean the
11:18
Speaker 1: hat was symbolic of her. Finally, Oh, look at Kevin
11:22
Speaker 1: of her finally making that um decision in that she
11:28
Speaker 1: would have boundaries, the nervous telling you about your hat,
11:32
Speaker 1: he said, it made me look old. God, I actually
11:37
Speaker 1: do feel kind of bad, you know what I'm saying,
11:41
Speaker 1: like for you know, just because to have had such
11:44
Speaker 1: a successful mega church, and we've seen it happen time
11:46
Speaker 1: and time again where these megachurches, the scandal happens. I mean,
11:51
Speaker 1: we've had people up here who have experienced that in
11:55
Speaker 1: real life, you know, and then everything falls down that
11:58
Speaker 1: you built for so long. It's a hard thing because
12:01
Speaker 1: you know, the designer close the three thousand dollars hats
12:05
Speaker 1: of the houses, the cars, the cars. My favorite thing
12:09
Speaker 1: was when they had to stay humble signed. I was like,
12:13
Speaker 1: what do you think about like pastors and their wives
12:17
Speaker 1: making that much money, because at the same time, you know,
12:20
Speaker 1: you should be entitled to have nice things. But he's
12:22
Speaker 1: like the jets, you know, all of those things that
12:25
Speaker 1: the cars, the luxury automobiles, the homes, successive. Yeah, you know,
12:30
Speaker 1: church is a full on culture. I think. I think
12:35
Speaker 1: if you buy into that culture, you will you know.
12:39
Speaker 1: I mean, I know pastors used to certainly believe that
12:42
Speaker 1: the only way they could spread the world was this
12:44
Speaker 1: is pre internet, so you can spread it differently. Now,
12:46
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have to have the planes,
12:48
Speaker 1: but I mean, I always you know, I would hope
12:52
Speaker 1: it's balanced by helping their communities, you know what I mean,
12:55
Speaker 1: and people in their congregation, people who go to church
12:58
Speaker 1: who need I don't know, mortgage payments or lights or
13:02
Speaker 1: you know, you know, people with kids. So I would
13:05
Speaker 1: imagine you'd have to see how someone balances their excess
13:10
Speaker 1: with um, you know, with the needs of like neighborhoods.
13:14
Speaker 1: You know, can you build the library as opposed to
13:16
Speaker 1: get another jet or something for the you know, people
13:21
Speaker 1: in your community who are lacking in something, whether it's
13:24
Speaker 1: a grocery store like, it would be nice to see
13:27
Speaker 1: it actually go into congregations and communities as well. Yeah,
13:31
Speaker 1: I means definitely does that. Yeah, that's what I mean.
13:34
Speaker 1: So some people when when there are pastors who do that,
13:37
Speaker 1: then that's great because you're actually seeing you know, the
13:41
Speaker 1: fruits dispersed and if they live well I mean it,
13:45
Speaker 1: then you know it's okay. But I do think it
13:48
Speaker 1: can't be as long as it's not one sided. You
13:50
Speaker 1: mentioned it seeing a trinity and her mom. And I
13:53
Speaker 1: was thinking about that because because I think the question
13:55
Speaker 1: was she said she kept going back to the Bible
13:57
Speaker 1: to pray for her marriage. You after how long? And
13:59
Speaker 1: she basically like until until he died? Do you think
14:02
Speaker 1: that the Bible cloud like our natural instincts and decision
14:05
Speaker 1: making skills sometimes? I mean, you know, um, I think
14:17
Speaker 1: it's yeah. I think it's you know, I think there's interpretations.
14:20
Speaker 1: And if you if you do believe that marriage is
14:23
Speaker 1: a covenant, then people are like, you do not break
14:28
Speaker 1: that covenant because the covenant involves God. It's also like
14:31
Speaker 1: you married God, right, and you married the church. I
14:34
Speaker 1: mean it was such a big deal. I mean, I mean,
14:36
Speaker 1: as we talk about it in the royal family because
14:38
Speaker 1: you know the church and state. So it's you know,
14:41
Speaker 1: it's complicated because what one person, because a belief is
14:45
Speaker 1: your faith, right, So I mean it's hard to say
14:48
Speaker 1: to someone that's not true if it's what you really believe,
14:51
Speaker 1: Like do you believe that? Do you believe that? What that? What? Like?
14:55
Speaker 1: Would you divorce under any well, under any circumstance, I
15:00
Speaker 1: believe it for better or worse? But how worse? Like
15:03
Speaker 1: how bad I mean right right, Yeah, yeah, they had
15:09
Speaker 1: a pretty worse but I think she thought they could
15:11
Speaker 1: pray that away. Yeah yeah, I thought it was over.
15:15
Speaker 1: But and I feel like when you read the Bible,
15:18
Speaker 1: like even God gets fed up at certain points. Yeah
15:21
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, no, I agree, I mean I agree.
15:25
Speaker 1: I just think it's like some people think about how
15:28
Speaker 1: it looks on the outside. I just you know, it's
15:32
Speaker 1: tough because and it depends on the generation. I think
15:34
Speaker 1: a mother's generation definitely was like you don't divorce, you
15:37
Speaker 1: do not divorce for you. How much pressure is it
15:42
Speaker 1: for you when you think about how people look at
15:43
Speaker 1: you from the outside, Like how much you put out
15:45
Speaker 1: there for people to know about you personally? I mean
15:49
Speaker 1: I think I'm instinctively private, like it just it comes
15:53
Speaker 1: natural to me. Um. But you know, I just grew
15:58
Speaker 1: up in a different generation where you know, you did
16:00
Speaker 1: you and nobody knew. I mean that's just that's all
16:03
Speaker 1: that It just wasn't It's just how I lived. So
16:06
Speaker 1: it's just how I am. But I mean I don't know,
16:09
Speaker 1: I never really I don't know that I've had to
16:17
Speaker 1: be forced to think about it. I Mean I've had
16:19
Speaker 1: stuff that I will say this. I've had stuff that's
16:22
Speaker 1: very wrong, you know, usually the right stuff people don't
16:26
Speaker 1: know ro like there's like this thing. The only reason
16:29
Speaker 1: I would I don't even address especially dating stuff. I
16:31
Speaker 1: don't address it. But there's one that I would clear up.
16:35
Speaker 1: And I only cleared up because it was untrue and
16:40
Speaker 1: because it because he because it was untrue and he's
16:46
Speaker 1: not here. And that was like Chadwick Boseman and that
16:49
Speaker 1: like I ran into him at Vanity Fair party and
16:52
Speaker 1: people as soon be dated and his fiance was right
16:54
Speaker 1: behind us and they got married and they're married, and
16:57
Speaker 1: he was never inappropriate. And like only if it's someone
17:00
Speaker 1: that if it's like there was something like and I
17:04
Speaker 1: saw you and like because you're married, i've met your wife.
17:07
Speaker 1: I always liked that to be clear, because I would
17:09
Speaker 1: never want a I would never if that happened to me.
17:14
Speaker 1: Before crazy story is I was going it was me
17:18
Speaker 1: and two friends and I was campaigning for Obama to
17:23
Speaker 1: become president in his first term. And there was a
17:26
Speaker 1: gentleman who was with us, like you know, a part
17:29
Speaker 1: of the Nevada Democratic thing, and he was great, and
17:34
Speaker 1: we had to go to three places and then like
17:36
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it and my feet were hurting, and
17:38
Speaker 1: so I was like, can you get me some I'd
17:40
Speaker 1: never campaigned, and he got me. He went around the
17:43
Speaker 1: corner and got like flip flops and he got three
17:46
Speaker 1: pairs just because we were annoying. It was me and
17:48
Speaker 1: Tanama our friendly and he was just like he didn't
17:50
Speaker 1: want to keep going back to the store, so he
17:51
Speaker 1: got three pair for me, like they were five dollars each.
17:54
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, I said, you got three.
17:56
Speaker 1: He's like, they're five dollars each. And then I think
17:58
Speaker 1: we went to a a party to campaign and I
18:03
Speaker 1: was like, are you gonna dance? And he's like, I'll
18:04
Speaker 1: dance when Obama wins. And then we went to a
18:08
Speaker 1: church and we were talking about churches and he was
18:11
Speaker 1: saying something about a church that he was like, ah,
18:15
Speaker 1: that he what his issue was. And he was almost
18:19
Speaker 1: a pastor at one time. And I was like, oh,
18:21
Speaker 1: so were you celibate? And he looked at me and
18:23
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, my goodness, were you a fornicator?
18:26
Speaker 1: And he said what does that even mean? And I said,
18:28
Speaker 1: someone who has sex before marriage And he said, I
18:31
Speaker 1: know what that means. I said, well, I said I said, well,
18:35
Speaker 1: what do they call men who had sex before marriage?
18:37
Speaker 1: And he said men. We had a whole thing. But anyway,
18:42
Speaker 1: the two days before Obama, the day Obama was elected,
18:48
Speaker 1: he had a heart attack and passed. But the week
18:51
Speaker 1: before that he sent me and had sent me an
18:52
Speaker 1: email emails. The email involved all of us that were there,
18:55
Speaker 1: but the email said, I wrote, thanks so much for
19:00
Speaker 1: all of my expensive shoes, right and then and I said,
19:05
Speaker 1: You'll always be my favorite fornicator. And then he wrote
19:09
Speaker 1: back is the pot calling the kettle black? And then
19:12
Speaker 1: and then and um, and he said something or I
19:15
Speaker 1: said something like I think I said, you owe me
19:17
Speaker 1: a dance because Obama was winning. Um. And his wife
19:22
Speaker 1: found though, and he was a very faithful man. He
19:27
Speaker 1: did not try There was nothing inappropriate his behavior. I
19:30
Speaker 1: actually saw pictures of his wife. He told us. He
19:31
Speaker 1: was like, if he doesn't win this election, my wife
19:34
Speaker 1: is gonna kill me. It was and um, is that
19:37
Speaker 1: why he had a heart attack? And she didn't know.
19:38
Speaker 1: We just he was just he had a heart attack. Drive. Yeah,
19:41
Speaker 1: he just was driving to pick up and his wife
19:44
Speaker 1: found that. And I never um, I mean we did
19:47
Speaker 1: talk to her, but just I just think sometimes for women,
19:50
Speaker 1: I just always want them to know that, like, you know,
19:54
Speaker 1: that's not yeah, and that's not even me. But it
19:56
Speaker 1: wasn't her man. You know, it's not even the man.
20:00
Speaker 1: Get down. If I see you, you know, I want
20:02
Speaker 1: him to be like, you know, like he didn't try me.
20:05
Speaker 1: He was he didn't try anything, and like we were talking.
20:08
Speaker 1: So only in those situations when I'm like, and there's
20:12
Speaker 1: a spouse, because I just think as a wife, it's
20:14
Speaker 1: not I could see how that email though it's a
20:16
Speaker 1: very specific EMA. Yeah, that one is like I don't
20:19
Speaker 1: even know how you explain that one. And it was
20:23
Speaker 1: and I and my boyfriend at the time, I was like,
20:25
Speaker 1: what should I do? And he's like, she's upset, she's
20:27
Speaker 1: found the emails. You gotta let it just wait. But
20:30
Speaker 1: I did tell her and and it was an email chain,
20:33
Speaker 1: and I think so now I rope back and was like, oh, no,
20:35
Speaker 1: it was a joke. But of course you're gonna say
20:38
Speaker 1: it's a joke. And she probably was hurting already, so
20:41
Speaker 1: that's just and she thinks. So that's why I'm always
20:44
Speaker 1: conscious for you know, you know, people in relationships. I
20:48
Speaker 1: never heard the one with you and ja, I don't hear.
20:49
Speaker 1: You don't hear nothing about you, like you clean out here.
20:52
Speaker 1: Well that's nice. Yeah, got to create something, Yeah, don't.
20:59
Speaker 1: I don't think they want I know, I know, but
21:01
Speaker 1: when there's something wonderful to share, I will. What realization
21:06
Speaker 1: I can't talk about what we were all talking about,
21:07
Speaker 1: the we were realizations. You think Trinity came to at
21:10
Speaker 1: the end of the movie. I just think she realized
21:13
Speaker 1: that she's just doing She's got to stand up and
21:16
Speaker 1: have some boundaries for herself. I think there was something
21:19
Speaker 1: about the end when he was like, they're here for me.
21:21
Speaker 1: I think she realized her husband was like selfish, like
21:25
Speaker 1: not that she didn't, but she just saw like he
21:29
Speaker 1: this he has not seen anything that I've done. Yeah, right,
21:33
Speaker 1: did you feel like that? Because I felt like even
21:35
Speaker 1: when you were critiquing it and like do it again,
21:37
Speaker 1: know that I was on we didn't feel that. I
21:39
Speaker 1: was like that is you know, just the fact that
21:42
Speaker 1: your whole life really did revolve around him. Yeah, and
21:45
Speaker 1: that church and then you see the other couple and
21:47
Speaker 1: they're up there preaching together, right, and there's such a
21:51
Speaker 1: disparity between the relationship that you guys had in the
21:54
Speaker 1: relationship that they have where they were really like equals,
21:57
Speaker 1: you know, finishing each other's sentences, supporting each other, both
22:00
Speaker 1: up there together as a couple. And then you see,
22:02
Speaker 1: you guys, even though I know they opened that church,
22:04
Speaker 1: that they did it on it, that was like I
22:08
Speaker 1: didn't believe him at all. Yeah, I don't believe him. No.
22:11
Speaker 1: I think that is a thing too. It's also like
22:14
Speaker 1: that generation of like like we can co past her together.
22:18
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be for a lady. I think
22:20
Speaker 1: for Trinity, she just you know, everybody has roles in relationships,
22:27
Speaker 1: right at some point. I just think sometimes I think
22:32
Speaker 1: when when she was out there on the street miming,
22:34
Speaker 1: she realized that her role her role, Yeah, her role
22:39
Speaker 1: was more reduced every day, and like she didn't think
22:42
Speaker 1: that it would get there. Did she step out? Also? See,
22:46
Speaker 1: that's where I thought it was going. And there was
22:50
Speaker 1: a point where it felt like did she step out
22:52
Speaker 1: to she know? Okay? I was confused about that because
22:55
Speaker 1: it felt like they alluded to it at mom. That's
22:58
Speaker 1: what I thought too, because in my mind, I was like,
23:00
Speaker 1: ain't not gonna do that. That would be too predictable,
23:02
Speaker 1: right if it was just him. I mean the twist
23:05
Speaker 1: was good. Yeah, I just thought of him with some women.
23:07
Speaker 1: But it's just like like she must have stepped that
23:09
Speaker 1: might be her. Yeah, I thought it was going. No, No,
23:13
Speaker 1: she didn't stop out. She No, she was she she
23:16
Speaker 1: really loved him, you know, she does love him. She
23:21
Speaker 1: just's just he just has no attraction to I could
23:28
Speaker 1: not understand that. I literally said that to myself like
23:30
Speaker 1: five or six times. Are you doing? He's like nobody's doing.
23:36
Speaker 1: And I have to say, Sterling was sterling. He's so
23:39
Speaker 1: much fun and he's so funny, like totally just came
23:42
Speaker 1: and like embodied that character you know, on that on
23:47
Speaker 1: the page, and like during the actual filming of the scene,
23:50
Speaker 1: we were both like this. He was like this is terrible.
23:53
Speaker 1: You know, he felt bad that he had to do
23:55
Speaker 1: it as a character. Um, but yeah, I think, you know,
23:58
Speaker 1: I think they have a complicated relationship. What would you
24:02
Speaker 1: say at Trinity's flaws? Because we can see his yeah
24:05
Speaker 1: up close, and I can tell you what I think,
24:07
Speaker 1: But what would you say in her flaws? Are like
24:08
Speaker 1: what did you Yeah, well that in Trinity likes the
24:11
Speaker 1: lifestyle too, I mean just as much as he does.
24:14
Speaker 1: And she really. You know, she likes all the attention
24:17
Speaker 1: of being on the stage and with people, you know,
24:21
Speaker 1: like that one sermon where he's saying he's got the
24:25
Speaker 1: what is it, the beautiful wife and the gorgeous Borghatti, Like,
24:28
Speaker 1: she definitely she likes it. The car. She's she's not
24:34
Speaker 1: giving that up too. So I think anytime you're like
24:37
Speaker 1: attached to that material world to that degree, you will
24:41
Speaker 1: sacrifice something. Have you ever stayed in a relationship for
24:44
Speaker 1: moral reasons? Hmm, No, that's a good question. I'm trying
24:53
Speaker 1: to think if I had I don't think so. I
25:00
Speaker 1: think I really think that's something regulated to just religious people. Yeah,
25:04
Speaker 1: I really do, But you know I haven't. I think
25:07
Speaker 1: if I think, like if I were married and had kids,
25:10
Speaker 1: I would it would that would make a ninety percent difference, Yeah,
25:14
Speaker 1: because I would want my children with their father, right,
25:17
Speaker 1: So I would. I would probably, I would probably, you know,
25:22
Speaker 1: work through a lot. I think if I had children,
25:25
Speaker 1: wouldn't you I would think so because it's not just
25:28
Speaker 1: that too. I think the support system. Yeah, sometimes you
25:31
Speaker 1: don't know how that dynamic will change if you're not
25:33
Speaker 1: in the same household, and I would affect them. Yeah,
25:35
Speaker 1: hold up to his responsibilities for time, women, financially and Kenny,
25:40
Speaker 1: because now you might you know, because now it's like
25:42
Speaker 1: it's two households and the kids, whereas if you're pulling together.
25:45
Speaker 1: So it's just you're just thinking about something so much
25:47
Speaker 1: bigger than yourself. I want my kids around to other women, right,
25:50
Speaker 1: you have to think of like stuff like you have
25:52
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of things you have to consider,
25:54
Speaker 1: and like yeah, and like you know, maybe where they're
25:58
Speaker 1: gonna have to go to school or you're moving, you
26:00
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's just a lot. So I
26:02
Speaker 1: spend holidays, right, how do you split that up? Yeah?
26:06
Speaker 1: But environment and energy matter too though, So you don't
26:08
Speaker 1: want your kids in household? That's I know, that's a.
26:12
Speaker 1: That's that's a that's a that's good. Sometimes people feel
26:17
Speaker 1: like we don't argue in front of the kids. They
26:19
Speaker 1: have no idea, but they don't know that their kids
26:21
Speaker 1: feel it. Right. Yeah, I know plenty like that too.
26:24
Speaker 1: I have friends were like, I wish my parents would
26:26
Speaker 1: have gotten divorced. I just think it's I just think
26:29
Speaker 1: it depends, but I would I still know instinctively, I
26:32
Speaker 1: would probably try really hard if I had kids so,
26:35
Speaker 1: so in what ways do you relate to trinity? Well,
26:38
Speaker 1: you know that, I mean, I think that's not to
26:42
Speaker 1: say I have not been in relationships and tried, like
26:46
Speaker 1: you know, I think, what, what's that quote? Women stay
26:49
Speaker 1: too long, men leave too soon? I mean, I've definitely
26:53
Speaker 1: I never heard it, but it sounds it sounds good, right,
26:55
Speaker 1: I've definitely I've definitely stayed and tried to work through
26:59
Speaker 1: stuff that in retrospect, I'm like, well, that was the
27:01
Speaker 1: first sign right there. Yeah, you should have known it
27:04
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna work. But and so I understood that. I
27:07
Speaker 1: understood that connection to um, to faith and like really
27:14
Speaker 1: believing something, wanting or wanting to believe something, and just
27:19
Speaker 1: that connection to to being strong. But I really, honestly,
27:25
Speaker 1: it was the understanding of the first ladies that I
27:29
Speaker 1: studied that resonated with me the most. Was there anything
27:32
Speaker 1: that you anything new you learned about religion and maybe
27:35
Speaker 1: your own faith by doing this? Hil my own? Well,
27:43
Speaker 1: you know, I always believe the church is human. Wherever
27:45
Speaker 1: there's human people, there's rooms for growth. So I already
27:50
Speaker 1: believe that. But um, I mean there is a beauty too,
27:56
Speaker 1: that there is a beauty in the church too. You know,
27:59
Speaker 1: both exists, right, Like every coin has a flip side.
28:02
Speaker 1: We shot a lot in that church and it's a
28:07
Speaker 1: beautiful church, yeah, you know, and so it's you know,
28:10
Speaker 1: it's complicated there. You do feel something, you know what
28:14
Speaker 1: I mean, even people that came up, like you really
28:16
Speaker 1: changed my life going yeah, and you know when we
28:19
Speaker 1: were on the side of the road, those hanks were real,
28:23
Speaker 1: like they didn't realize it was us. They didn't realize
28:25
Speaker 1: it was us. Yeah, And you couldn't see the camera
28:27
Speaker 1: crew because they were in the back or across the street.
28:30
Speaker 1: So those hanks were real. So you know, you connect,
28:34
Speaker 1: especially in this time and on the world right with
28:38
Speaker 1: everything going on, you want to believe in something. So
28:41
Speaker 1: you understood it, and there was a there was a
28:45
Speaker 1: really quiet beauty to that church in the ground. So
28:48
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that just that always stays with me.
28:50
Speaker 1: How you feel about cussing on them grounds? How did
28:54
Speaker 1: that make you feel? I know, she lost it, you
28:57
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's interesting though, because it felt
29:01
Speaker 1: like it felt like a pilot, because it feels like
29:03
Speaker 1: it's so much more to explore with those characters. Like
29:05
Speaker 1: when it was over, I was like, no, he can't
29:07
Speaker 1: in like this, I need to see more. No, it
29:10
Speaker 1: was so sudden. I was like, yeah, it just yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:14
Speaker 1: I mean I think the idea they wanted to leave
29:16
Speaker 1: with the things definitely won't be the same, right, I mean,
29:18
Speaker 1: I think we saw that Heaven's House was really crowded.
29:22
Speaker 1: We had the devout five five people here. Yeah. You know.
29:27
Speaker 1: There was a tweet that said the only unrealized thing
29:30
Speaker 1: about the movie was the congregation leaving after the scandal,
29:32
Speaker 1: because they were like the congregation, Yeah, congregate, do they
29:35
Speaker 1: not leave? They'll have their well, you know. I think
29:38
Speaker 1: also part of it was that you guys were closed, yeah, yeah,
29:41
Speaker 1: and then they were buying someplace else to go. And
29:44
Speaker 1: when you close like that and having like rate somewhere else,
29:47
Speaker 1: now you've they found a new church Trump because we'd
29:49
Speaker 1: been closed for a year because he was being he
29:51
Speaker 1: was under investigation, right, so what are they supposed to
29:54
Speaker 1: do for a year? Yeah, they went on over the
29:56
Speaker 1: Heaven's House. Now, how do you feel with this being
29:59
Speaker 1: like one of your first projects from behind the cameras
30:03
Speaker 1: as well as you know, being in front of it,
30:05
Speaker 1: But do you do you just feel like amazing about
30:08
Speaker 1: the reception that it is guiding. I mean, it's gotten
30:09
Speaker 1: amazing reviews. I mean, yeah, you know you're I mean,
30:14
Speaker 1: I'm always excited when the project is received well period.
30:18
Speaker 1: I mean that's just the you know, that's like just
30:21
Speaker 1: the honest part of me. You know, nobody wants to
30:23
Speaker 1: read something that's like it was garbage, although there are
30:26
Speaker 1: people who feel that way, right, So you know they're
30:28
Speaker 1: gonna be people who aren't gonna like it, and people
30:30
Speaker 1: are gonna like it. That's just part of life. But yeah,
30:32
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's just nice when you take
30:34
Speaker 1: a risk, right because it's a risky subject matter, it's
30:37
Speaker 1: a risky project to do, um and and there's just
30:43
Speaker 1: a group of people like, well, like you guys that
30:46
Speaker 1: like it, you know what I mean that that that
30:48
Speaker 1: makes a big difference. Um. So I was excited, you know,
30:51
Speaker 1: like I was excited that even when just Sterling said,
30:55
Speaker 1: but I was really excited. When it's old. I was
30:57
Speaker 1: so scared. I was like, if we got these girls,
30:58
Speaker 1: they don't raise all this money. If they don't, what
31:00
Speaker 1: if what they're like, we're not buying it. So when
31:04
Speaker 1: it's sold, I was happy, and so the support is like,
31:07
Speaker 1: that's just like amazing. I actually won't see more. I
31:10
Speaker 1: think you should be a serious do you think absolutely?
31:13
Speaker 1: They got to try to come back with more than
31:17
Speaker 1: just a little Aria. That was probably one of my
31:19
Speaker 1: favorite things Little Aria when she says, I love the theater.
31:23
Speaker 1: Would you do a serious if the opportunity presented itself
31:26
Speaker 1: for this? I mean, you know, um, I'm doing another series,
31:30
Speaker 1: So I missed my old series. To be honest, I
31:33
Speaker 1: missed my Black Monday because I loved my cast so much.
31:36
Speaker 1: I loved my cast. But like I think the girls
31:39
Speaker 1: have talked them and Dona, they talked about doing it
31:45
Speaker 1: as an adult. I know it sounds weird animation series. Okay,
31:49
Speaker 1: I can see that. Yeah, because then they could take
31:54
Speaker 1: it places. Got why didn't Why didn't you? Just Black
31:57
Speaker 1: Monday was on show Time, right? Why why didn't it
32:00
Speaker 1: bring that back? I guess enough people weren't watching it. Yeah,
32:04
Speaker 1: I think they're watching it now though. It's so funny.
32:06
Speaker 1: Now I have many people who are like, I love this,
32:09
Speaker 1: they'd like discover it later. Yeah, that happens. There's a
32:12
Speaker 1: lot of content out there too. It's a lot of content.
32:14
Speaker 1: It feel like there was a black goal rush, like
32:16
Speaker 1: around the COVID and George Floyd thing, and then it
32:19
Speaker 1: feels like they feels like they kind of shut it
32:20
Speaker 1: off a little. Yeah. Really, there's so much content. I've
32:25
Speaker 1: been discovering things now that like I've been watching this
32:27
Speaker 1: show flappersh Misdemeanors on Showtime. Oh yeah, so good that
32:35
Speaker 1: I watched the whole entire thing, like in two days.
32:37
Speaker 1: It was so good. And see that's another hard thing too,
32:40
Speaker 1: it is with their spending so much content, Like people
32:43
Speaker 1: discover it in its second and third season, they don't
32:47
Speaker 1: necessarily catch it in the first season unless you're gonna
32:49
Speaker 1: put like tons of money into advertising. I feel like
32:53
Speaker 1: you have a lot coming out at the same time
32:55
Speaker 1: right now too. Yeah, yeah, that's yeah, it's totally accidental
32:59
Speaker 1: to the time of it because Metime came out and
33:02
Speaker 1: it just was like not even you know who knew.
33:05
Speaker 1: That happens a lot and people are like, oh, you're
33:07
Speaker 1: always working, but sometimes it's just the timing of release.
33:10
Speaker 1: So what's next for our Age production our Age Negative?
33:14
Speaker 1: Oh we have um um. I can't even talk about it,
33:17
Speaker 1: to be honest, but I have three things in development
33:19
Speaker 1: at Showtime and then UM a film that we're shopping
33:24
Speaker 1: right now hopefully, UM someone it's another it's another unique one,
33:28
Speaker 1: but I'm very excited about that one. And um where
33:32
Speaker 1: we just like sent it out. We've had a couple
33:34
Speaker 1: of passes, to be honest, but because it's going to
33:38
Speaker 1: be it's an it's a it's a risky it's a
33:40
Speaker 1: risky one, but it's also really good. I think, I
33:44
Speaker 1: think it's really good. That's always good when you take
33:46
Speaker 1: those risks and they pay off. I mean, yeah, if
33:49
Speaker 1: you know, the great thing about stuff like this is
33:51
Speaker 1: you can either go the studio route or you know,
33:54
Speaker 1: you can do like the Girls and you can go
33:56
Speaker 1: and do the independent route, or you can go streaming
33:59
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. But the the other projects are
34:03
Speaker 1: um television shows. Yeah, I'm highly disappointed that you were

38:11
Speaker 1: and your show? I mean yet Regina Hall. The day
38:16
Speaker 1: that I announced my new show, go to Martha's Vineyards
38:20
Speaker 1: and be on a panel with Regina Hall. I was like,
38:22
Speaker 1: what a way to celebrate. Yeah, that was pretty excited.
38:24
Speaker 1: Everyone's excited too, and everyone loves your show. I mean
38:27
Speaker 1: it's it's so it's an exciting time for people to have, like, um,
38:33
Speaker 1: the balls to do yeah, the ball right, and the
38:37
Speaker 1: opportunity to do like more, you know what I mean,
38:41
Speaker 1: just more. Do you feel like like black people in
38:45
Speaker 1: this business of finally getting their just do Hmmm? I
38:54
Speaker 1: think there's more opportunity, right, And I think I think
38:57
Speaker 1: as we are are adding voice is behind the camera,
39:01
Speaker 1: whether it's producing or writing, you know, it's it's getting
39:05
Speaker 1: it's getting the reality the like like real voices that
39:10
Speaker 1: we don't see. I think what happens is we used
39:12
Speaker 1: we end up seeing the one like if one thing
39:14
Speaker 1: is a success, we see five ten versions of that
39:17
Speaker 1: and then it feels like it doesn't It doesn't. It's
39:20
Speaker 1: not a complete right version of the reality of of
39:25
Speaker 1: of a of a of a people of a race.
39:28
Speaker 1: And and so it's been hard to show the spectrum
39:32
Speaker 1: of that. But I think now, um, it is getting better.
39:37
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think we should say we're getting
39:39
Speaker 1: it's it's emotion. And I think before it wasn't necessarily emotion,
39:43
Speaker 1: but I think it's emotion. You think Wolton has ruined
39:46
Speaker 1: uh creativity? Um, I think I still need to know
39:51
Speaker 1: what the word means. I'm like, what does it really mean?
39:54
Speaker 1: People don't use it anymore. It did, right, it was
39:58
Speaker 1: supposed to mean like you were like aware. I guess
40:01
Speaker 1: yeah for me, I guess it's like you always have
40:03
Speaker 1: to have to have some bigger message in your art,
40:06
Speaker 1: right yeah, Oh okay, Well you know sometimes shit is
40:14
Speaker 1: just entertaining, right, you know, And I think that's great too.
40:18
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just yeah, it's a spectrum. So yeah,
40:20
Speaker 1: I guess it's it's you know, yeah, it's many things.
40:25
Speaker 1: It's many That's why that's why so many people need
40:27
Speaker 1: to be doing stuff, because everybody has like, what you're
40:30
Speaker 1: gonna do is different than than me or or you know,
40:34
Speaker 1: and or anyone. It's and and it's like, but we
40:37
Speaker 1: need that perspective too, right, So everyone who has a
40:39
Speaker 1: perspective that at least is like I don't know, you
40:45
Speaker 1: can tell that they've it's been they've contemplated on things,
40:49
Speaker 1: or experience things, you know, or have things that they
40:53
Speaker 1: feel compelled to share. I mean it's always nice, you know,
40:56
Speaker 1: because sometimes I enjoy watching to be Yeah. Yeah, so
41:00
Speaker 1: those movies. Yeah, that's the thing. Sometimes it's like it's just,
41:05
Speaker 1: you know, I just want to be entertained. I don't
41:06
Speaker 1: want a thing. I want to laugh. I don't want
41:08
Speaker 1: to always have, you know, messaging. So I think it's
41:12
Speaker 1: you know, you need both. I want a documentary or
41:15
Speaker 1: silly comedy, you know, just grabbing by the ball. Yeah yeah,
41:23
