I feel like this movie is so relevant to our lives. Like I was just hashtagging something, like as I was waiting. But I'm curious because one of the themes is like, you know, our lives on social media are not perfect. Everything's through a filter. So if we were to honestly Instagram your life, like what would it look like?
I'm really bad at taking photos.
Me too.
There'd be a lot of like just big dirty sweaters. Sweatshirts. Just me and like Just me and like just clothes that I've had for 20 years that are just like have holes in them. A lot of
She dresses herself well, by the way. You clean up nicely.
Thanks.
Maybe you're confusing her with one of your Insta fans. You are by far the coolest, most interesting person I've ever met. You're so funny. I love you so much. You're amazing. Elizabeth, what would what would your honest Instagram feed look like?
I spend all my day, uh making guacamole. Usually, literally I'm being honest, unloading my dishwasher, making my coffee, cutting up fruit, cleaning the cat's for like, it would just be all the time I've spent cleaning dishes and drying them and slicing things and preparing food and making it look nice for myself. Occasionally, if I'm alone, which is most of the time, I'll take a photo and send it to like a friend and be like, "Doesn't this look nice?" But like I they don't actually look good enough to put them on Instagram. So it's just for me.
I would I would follow both those feeds, by the way. I know you wouldn't. Did being in this kind of make you just more aware of how much you're on your phone or how much you're on social media? We allowed ourselves when we were shooting to go in those like Instagram rabbit holes and just really open those posts. What was like the weirdest thing that you found as you're
I've never found weird things. Oh. That sounds disturbing. I don't know what you're talking about. Weird, uh, you know, body different kinds of parts. I don't know.
Jesus. Sounds like they should be shut down. Have you did you report them?
No. No. No, not those kinds. Not the sexy ones. There's like, this is my busted toenail.
I want to play a little game, grammar or spam. So is this something that you that is acceptable to put on your Instagram feed or is it spam? So, I mean, thoughts on food pictures? Is that
I'd say Graham or piece of spam. I'd say this is what we took it there. Yeah. Sure. Yeah.
How about selfies?
Selfies. I feel like that's pretty I feel like there's a fitty-fitty on a selfie. There's a time and a place for it.
Yeah, what's like the right time and place for it?
I don't know. Like I just look up this way. Okay. That's not the right time. My best friend Taylor has been helping me explore my creative side. If you got lower, that would be better. Do you mean on the floor? Yeah. Thanks, you're the best. Wait, what about this? No, I don't know how to do that face. I don't know, but I've been working on it for a long time. I don't know how to do it.
You got you kind of did it.
Yeah. My friend and I my friend Madeleine and I would send each other photos of us practicing our kiss face. All I want is Frida to send me that photo. Selfies at the gym. Forget about it. Are you insane? No. Unless you like fall off a treadmill and you're like, "I'm bleeding." That's fine.
