1
00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:02.570
- I think it's just a mutual thing.

2
00:00:02.570 --> 00:00:03.403
It's but I,

3
00:00:03.403 --> 00:00:04.236
you know what I mean?

4
00:00:04.236 --> 00:00:06.240
Like I was never conscious of it ever,

5
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.363
you know it was just the
people I was attracted to.

6
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:12.169
- The gays have good taste.

7
00:00:12.169 --> 00:00:13.680
- Gays have good taste.

8
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:14.868
They really do.

9
00:00:14.868 --> 00:00:16.407
(upbeat music)

10
00:00:16.407 --> 00:00:17.430
- So in this movie Jennifer,

11
00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:19.180
you have a line as Aunt Sandy.

12
00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:20.013
That's sort of like,

13
00:00:20.013 --> 00:00:21.364
"Gays are always obsessed with me."

14
00:00:21.364 --> 00:00:22.370
and it's kind of a metta line.

15
00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:24.320
I mean for the both of you
really like you have quite

16
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:25.860
a fandom.

17
00:00:25.860 --> 00:00:27.180
I've already seen it on shirts.

18
00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:28.210
It's like your, your,

19
00:00:28.210 --> 00:00:29.440
your quote from the movie.

20
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:30.530
Do you have any idea like

21
00:00:30.530 --> 00:00:32.680
why you have such a big queer fandom?

22
00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:33.820
- Well, you know it's sort of,

23
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:35.457
I don't know you know what,

24
00:00:35.457 --> 00:00:37.820
it's just started from a very young age.

25
00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:38.930
It was sort of like you know,

26
00:00:38.930 --> 00:00:40.040
I don't think when you're young,

27
00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.380
you're very conscious of
any decision you make.

28
00:00:42.380 --> 00:00:43.700
It's just sort of like you go

29
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:45.620
with what you're attracted to.

30
00:00:45.620 --> 00:00:46.844
I mean I think that's really

31
00:00:46.844 --> 00:00:49.120
what most of our youth is.

32
00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:50.480
And you know,

33
00:00:50.480 --> 00:00:51.860
that's just what I was attracted to.

34
00:00:51.860 --> 00:00:54.110
All my friends, you know ended up.

35
00:00:54.110 --> 00:00:55.050
And, you know I mean,

36
00:00:55.050 --> 00:00:57.110
I don't think they had
figured it out at the time,

37
00:00:57.110 --> 00:00:58.080
you know when we were really,

38
00:00:58.080 --> 00:00:58.913
really young.

39
00:00:58.913 --> 00:01:01.470
But they eventually
figured it out and yeah,

40
00:01:01.470 --> 00:01:03.190
and it was always like the gay,

41
00:01:03.190 --> 00:01:05.010
all the gay men and all the gay women

42
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:06.010
in my you know,

43
00:01:06.010 --> 00:01:07.230
in my town,

44
00:01:07.230 --> 00:01:09.500
at my school or at camp or,

45
00:01:09.500 --> 00:01:10.590
you know.

46
00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:13.370
And it's just sort of I think it's just

47
00:01:13.370 --> 00:01:14.240
a mutual thing.

48
00:01:14.240 --> 00:01:15.073
It's but I,

49
00:01:15.073 --> 00:01:16.731
you know what I mean?

50
00:01:16.731 --> 00:01:18.020
Like I was never conscious of it,

51
00:01:18.020 --> 00:01:18.853
ever, you know,

52
00:01:18.853 --> 00:01:21.323
it was just the people I was attracted to.

53
00:01:22.175 --> 00:01:24.432
- The gays have good taste.

54
00:01:24.432 --> 00:01:25.730
- Gays have good taste.

55
00:01:25.730 --> 00:01:27.400
They really do.

56
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.233
- Kathy one of the things

57
00:01:28.233 --> 00:01:30.050
that I really like about
your character in this movie,

58
00:01:30.050 --> 00:01:31.210
Christmas Carol,

59
00:01:31.210 --> 00:01:34.254
is that she is a mom that is like trying

60
00:01:34.254 --> 00:01:36.870
to get to know her son's life better

61
00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:39.914
by doing like her own work
sort of outside of him.

62
00:01:39.914 --> 00:01:41.710
What did you like about,

63
00:01:41.710 --> 00:01:44.033
you know that aspect I guess?

64
00:01:44.033 --> 00:01:45.682
- Well I loved it.

65
00:01:45.682 --> 00:01:48.061
I loved that it wasn't a struggle

66
00:01:48.061 --> 00:01:50.355
for her that oh my,

67
00:01:50.355 --> 00:01:52.680
oh my God what am I gonna do my son's gay?

68
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:53.990
Did I do something wrong?

69
00:01:53.990 --> 00:01:55.350
Which I think is so hilarious

70
00:01:55.350 --> 00:01:58.780
because I think families are
blessed to have gay kids.

71
00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:02.130
So I loved that she had regular mom issues

72
00:02:02.130 --> 00:02:04.870
but they weren't specifically
because her son was gay.

73
00:02:04.870 --> 00:02:05.703
In fact,

74
00:02:05.703 --> 00:02:08.660
it never even comes up in the film that,

75
00:02:08.660 --> 00:02:09.970
that, that, that,

76
00:02:09.970 --> 00:02:11.560
that this couple is a gay couple.

77
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.110
It's just I want someone good for you.

78
00:02:13.110 --> 00:02:14.130
I want you to marry someone.

79
00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:15.747
I want you to stay in your hometown

80
00:02:15.747 --> 00:02:17.150
so we can see you.

81
00:02:17.150 --> 00:02:17.983
So I really,

82
00:02:17.983 --> 00:02:18.816
really love that.

83
00:02:18.816 --> 00:02:20.112
And yeah I love the,

84
00:02:20.112 --> 00:02:21.947
you know they let me add,

85
00:02:21.947 --> 00:02:22.780
you know,

86
00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:23.613
I'm reading this book

87
00:02:23.613 --> 00:02:27.790
about LGBT L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T.

88
00:02:27.790 --> 00:02:28.848
- Yeah.

89
00:02:28.848 --> 00:02:30.040
- Yeah.

90
00:02:30.040 --> 00:02:31.511
So the, the, the,

91
00:02:31.511 --> 00:02:35.447
the challenge wasn't that my son was gay.

92
00:02:35.447 --> 00:02:37.430
The challenge was that I wanted him

93
00:02:37.430 --> 00:02:38.840
to stay in my city and I wanted him

94
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:40.020
to have a really handsome,

95
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:41.635
great boyfriend.

96
00:02:41.635 --> 00:02:45.715
And that's why I responded
positively to the,

97
00:02:45.715 --> 00:02:47.670
to the offer to play her.

98
00:02:47.670 --> 00:02:48.888
- And then in the movie,

99
00:02:48.888 --> 00:02:49.721
you know,

100
00:02:49.721 --> 00:02:51.250
you have what they call sort

101
00:02:51.250 --> 00:02:52.530
of like a built-in drag name,

102
00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:53.470
holiday drag name,

103
00:02:53.470 --> 00:02:54.930
Christmas Carol.

104
00:02:54.930 --> 00:02:57.510
Jennifer do you have a holiday drag name

105
00:02:57.510 --> 00:02:59.210
or Kathy do you have one that you'd like

106
00:02:59.210 --> 00:03:00.910
to use in real life?

107
00:03:00.910 --> 00:03:01.780
- Well, what,

108
00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:02.613
what would Marah,

109
00:03:02.613 --> 00:03:05.120
what would my drag name be
if you got to choose it?

110
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:05.953
- Well I don't know,

111
00:03:05.953 --> 00:03:06.786
I mean there's like,

112
00:03:06.786 --> 00:03:08.450
I was going over some this morning

113
00:03:08.450 --> 00:03:10.263
with Michael and.

114
00:03:11.284 --> 00:03:12.320
- Joel?

115
00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:14.920
- Yeah, and we were talking
about like candy cane

116
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:17.399
or like gay in a manger,

117
00:03:17.399 --> 00:03:19.440
or you know,

118
00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:21.050
they were coming up with
all sorts of different ones.

119
00:03:21.050 --> 00:03:23.200
So there's a lot of
good options out there.

120
00:03:24.950 --> 00:03:26.386
Virgin Mary

121
00:03:26.386 --> 00:03:28.800
- Maybe Shimmy and a Jimmy.

122
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:29.940
I'm just throwing it out there.

123
00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:31.560
Don't start the T shirts yet.

124
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:32.686
I don't know.

125
00:03:32.686 --> 00:03:34.570
- Let's see what words go together.

126
00:03:34.570 --> 00:03:38.347
Like Coolidge Clause.

127
00:03:38.347 --> 00:03:39.551
I don't know.

128
00:03:39.551 --> 00:03:42.163
I don't know.

129
00:03:42.163 --> 00:03:43.900
- Coolio's already taken?

130
00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:45.075
She can't have that.

131
00:03:45.075 --> 00:03:45.908
- What?

132
00:03:45.908 --> 00:03:46.741
I can't have what?

133
00:03:46.741 --> 00:03:47.574
- Coolio,

134
00:03:47.574 --> 00:03:49.060
it's already been taken.

135
00:03:49.060 --> 00:03:51.180
So, something.

136
00:03:51.180 --> 00:03:52.013
I don't have.

137
00:03:52.013 --> 00:03:53.870
- I'll put the feelers out there

138
00:03:53.870 --> 00:03:54.930
and people can work on it for you guys.

139
00:03:54.930 --> 00:03:57.363
- You see the thing is I'm kind of,

140
00:03:58.837 --> 00:04:01.190
I've always been the Halloween lady

141
00:04:01.190 --> 00:04:02.890
that did the Halloween so big that,

142
00:04:02.890 --> 00:04:05.700
you know that by Christmas I'm exhausted.

143
00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:08.100
But, but I do like having

144
00:04:08.100 --> 00:04:10.040
a Christmas identity now.

145
00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:11.703
And,

146
00:04:11.703 --> 00:04:13.570
and you bring up a good point.

147
00:04:13.570 --> 00:04:14.403
I, I,

148
00:04:14.403 --> 00:04:15.790
I was hoping you were gonna like,

149
00:04:15.790 --> 00:04:17.770
come up with this amazing
thing for me today.

150
00:04:17.770 --> 00:04:20.674
Of what I could be forever.

151
00:04:20.674 --> 00:04:21.790
- I'll put it out.

152
00:04:21.790 --> 00:04:22.657
I'll figure it out.

153
00:04:22.657 --> 00:04:23.490
You know,

154
00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:24.420
I should've thought about it in advance.

155
00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:25.658
- Np pressure Marah,

156
00:04:25.658 --> 00:04:26.491
no pressure.

157
00:04:26.491 --> 00:04:28.424
- If Nick and I ever went there

158
00:04:28.424 --> 00:04:30.090
and it didn't work out I would lose him.

159
00:04:30.090 --> 00:04:32.387
- But what if it did work out?

160
00:04:34.870 --> 00:04:38.578
- The gays just know how to do stuff.

161
00:04:38.578 --> 00:04:40.890
For some reason,

162
00:04:40.890 --> 00:04:43.156
they're always obsessed with me.

163
00:04:43.156 --> 00:04:45.739
(upbeat music)
