00:01At this point, I don't know, we've shared everything.
00:03I think it's a great first date movie.
00:06I've been sending her little emojis with eyes
00:09and being like, I'm coming for you.
00:11I just looked up seven years since I last sent you.
00:13Which movie?
00:13Which movie?
00:14It's Zastardus.
00:14Oh, wow.
00:15OK.
00:15So.
00:16Wow.
00:17Wow.
00:17Zastardus is the first film that we acted in together.
00:21I played Dave's girlfriend in the movie,
00:22in case you don't remember.
00:24It's a small but important role.
00:27It is.
00:28This is very important, though.
00:29The two of you together.
00:30Listen, I don't normally do horrors.
00:32I normally censor one else, because I can't handle them.
00:35But you two are one of my favorite couples.
00:37That's very nice.
00:38And I was like, I just had to come and chat to you.
00:40Thank you, thank you.
00:40This is so good.
00:42It's so good.
00:43We got you.
00:44You got me.
00:45It thankfully isn't as terrible.
00:47Like, there are some bits, but generally,
00:49it's just that body horror kind of thing.
00:51Totally.
00:51How much do you have to, like, limber up for this role?
00:54Like, was there a lot of yoga before you did it?
00:57There should have been a little more yoga, now that you're saying it.
01:00I mean, it's one of these movies where, yes, there's a lot of physicality, but it's not, like, choreographed moves.
01:07This is us flinging our bodies in very unnatural ways, so there's almost nothing you can do to prepare for it.
01:12There was no good way to prepare for it.
01:14I feel like we always try to stay strong because we like to do physical work in our films, and we've done a lot of it, but this movie was so different physically than the other things that we've worked on, as Dave said, because a lot of it just required flinging our bodies around.
01:30And really, because it's, like, it's different from, I don't know, like, running really fast in a movie or doing these feats of strength.
01:36It's, like, the thing that we're fighting in the movie, the monster of the movie, if you will, is within our own bodies.
01:42Yeah.
01:42So it was much more about tension and kind of playing that push and pull, which is more exhausting than you would think.
01:49It creeped me out.
01:50Good.
01:51Seeing you move like that, I was like, oh, I'm going to have nightmares about that alone.
01:55My sister-in-law, after the movie, she was like, you're scary.
02:00To me.
02:01To me.
02:02I've been sending her little emojis with eyes and being like, I'm coming for you, just to freak her out a little more.
02:08But I've seen both people say that this is a terrible first date movie and also a dynamite first date movie.
02:16So for you guys, what do you think it is?
02:18I think it's a great first date movie.
02:21I think it speaks to, you know, how people feel about monogamy in their own lives.
02:29And that's going to affect how they react to this film.
02:31But we love that there's different reactions, you know?
02:34We've talked to single people who have seen the film and they're like, this is a very strong argument for staying single.
02:40That's me.
02:41Okay.
02:42Yes.
02:42But then we talked to a couple who was fighting all week and then they saw the film and they were like, this helped us make up.
02:47Okay.
02:48I think, you know, whoever you go see the movie with, you're certainly going to have that conversation after.
02:52So if you're on a first date, you've got to just hope that you guys are on the same page.
02:56I just don't like anyone enough that I want to be that close with them.
03:01Fair enough.
03:01But you two, like, you've obviously been together a long time.
03:04I've heard the story about you having to go to the toilet to, like, attach to each other.
03:08But is there anything that you guys have that is solely for you that you're like, I don't, like, it's just for you?
03:15Or do you do absolutely everything together?
03:17Oh, no.
03:17Oh, I thought you meant that we have not told the public.
03:21I was like, at this point, I don't know, we've shared everything.
03:23Yes.
03:24No, no.
03:24We, as codependent as we are, which we are very, uh...
03:29It seems like we work together a lot, but we actually do a lot of work separately on other jobs where we don't see each other for months at a time.
03:36And we really do enjoy our independence.
03:38And, like, when we're both at home in L.A., during the week, we're off doing our own things.
03:44We have our own friends.
03:45I was going to say friend time is sort of the number one thing that we do separately.
03:49Less often, it's less often that we're, like, hanging out with couple friends.
03:53More often, we're getting really good one-on-one time with our friends.
03:56That is good.
03:57It's healthy.
03:57But I do, like I said, as someone who is single, I need to know from you two, what is the key to finding someone who you want to spend together with forever?
04:07I think it comes down to sense of humor.
04:10It's a big one.
04:11You know?
04:11That's a big one.
04:11You can't laugh with this person.
04:14It's like, this is the person you're going to spend more time with than anyone.
04:17And so they better be your friend, too.
04:20This has got to be someone that you enjoy spending time with.
04:23And a big part of that is laughing together.
04:25It's so not about whether or not they're, like, funny.
04:28It's do you get each other?
04:30Sure, sure.
04:30Well, you two get each other.
04:32Like, it's so clear for everyone to see.
04:35You're just perfect.
04:36And you're perfect for this, like, movie.
04:38I can't imagine anyone else doing it like you did.
