00:00It's a stressful look, I would imagine.

00:02It's a, it's, it's, I love this look so much.

00:05And there's a couple precarious pieces.

00:08So, uh, any, any favorite films, any favorite shows of the year

00:12that you're kind of rooting for here?

00:14Definitely. I love The Brutalist.

00:16And I'm so happy that they're getting the recognition that they deserve.

00:20I also loved Brady's speech at the Golden Globes

00:23about empowering artists and centering them in their own work.

00:26And that this kind of film is the result of empowering so many artists.

00:31It's true. There's so many things about it that I feel like at a studio level

00:34they might immediately shut down.

00:36And we would have been stripped of the privilege of watching this film.

00:39Um, and there's so many others.

00:42The Substance I loved. Uh, yeah.

00:45Yeah, should we have more intermissions in our films?

00:47Are you pro that?

00:48Maybe. Who doesn't want an ice cream break in the middle of a movie?

00:52Me, I want it.

00:54Just a little addition to things.

00:56Uh, Superman coming up. We got a few trailers out.

00:59How have you kind of felt about the reaction so far from the fans?

01:02It's been so overwhelming in a really positive way.

01:05I can't believe how many people watched that trailer.

01:09I've said it before and I feel like I'm at the risk of sounding totally corny at this point,

01:13but it was such a joy to work on.

01:16You know, James and Peter Safran on the DC side,

01:19they just, James has been dreaming of making a Superman movie for so many years.

01:23And to be a part of somebody else realizing their dream like that,

01:27it just brings a totally different energy to the set every day.

01:30Um, and for David, you know, it was, it was, uh,

01:33David is such a Superman nerd.

01:35And it was just a blast.

01:37So to feel that kind of energy reflected back at us has just been so encouraging.

01:42Did you kind of talk to any previous Lois Lanes?

01:45It's kind of a pretty strong group there.

01:47The group is incredible.

01:49I didn't, but I did talk to a lot of journalists.

01:52I felt like I was focused on the journalism piece.

01:54I spoke to a handful of journalists who really helped me get inside the head of a modern reporter.

02:00I feel like one of the interesting things about this character is that

02:03she's changed so much from her inception to kind of reflect

02:06what it would look like to be a modern, relentless,

02:12kind of intense, slightly messy reporter of that time.

02:17And so I feel like I really relied on the handful of journalists I spoke to

02:22to help me build her for now.

02:24And Amy Sherman-Palladino I know has a new show coming.

02:26I mean, are you two going to get back together at some point?

02:29I saw her two weeks ago in, maybe less, in New York.

02:34We talk about it every time we see each other.

02:36We're brainstorming.

02:38Yeah.

02:40But I got to visit the set of Etoile out in Paris briefly.

02:43Watched Luke and his element.

02:45Yeah, I mean, I can't wait for the show.
