Young Hollywood, let's hear it for Young Hollywood. Hey guys, Baruuk here with Young Hollywood, chatting with Lizzie Olsen and Josh Radner about their on and off screen chemistry in liberal arts.

One of the things I love about being here was the feeling that anything was possible. You get out of school and anything could happen. And then you do get out and life happens.

So you're saying I should prepare myself for a psychotrix?

No, a liberal arts education solves all your problems.

Lizzy, I feel like I already know you because you we we go to the same gym.

Oh my gosh, you go to David Barton and Chelsea? Hello. Ellipticizing unites us.

Are you serious?

Yeah, I've ellipticized like I've been on the treadmill, you've been on the elliptical. I'm like, I'm not going to say anything.

Well I try to go 9:00 to 10:00 when Live with Kelly's on. Priorities, hello. Cuz I don't have a television.

Wait, you don't have a TV?

No. So my TV, So my my TV watching happens at David Barton. Multitasking. So between Bravo and Live with Kelly and sometimes if I'm lucky, Ellen, I'm good to go. But you don't go to David Barton?

No, but I was just on Live with Kelly.

Well, that could.

So I'm connected. I went to Live with Kelly. We're all connected.

Oh great. One big happy family. I love her. Were you there with Michael?

Uh, Michael, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh yeah, awesome. He was great. He was great. Yeah.

Oh good. You're You're in You're this is great. Okay. Speaking of being united, the two of you on screen, you have a very clear chemistry.

Well, we had an affair.

Oh, well, that would help. Lizzy's a method actress. Which I learned. It was very uncomfortable. But is that what it's what is it take to create that that that that real connection?

You know, I chemistry is like it's one of those kind of ineffable things. You don't want to over analyze it especially in the moment, but I found it it has to do with casting the right people. And if the the script is truthfully written and the people are right, there will be chemistry there. You know, we were just playing it honestly. And then I looked at the the the what we shot. And I said, oh, this seems like there's a real relationship here, you know.

I think it has a lot to do with editing also, like stolen moments. Yeah. Like you can actually if two people hate each other, I think you can still like make I'm not saying that that happens. But like if they did, you can still edit something to make them look like they're stealing moments when the other one wasn't watching and you know, there is a way to create that.

Yeah, there's all sorts of trickery involved. But we didn't have to do that. I mean, we we just played the scenes in a way that felt really honest and fun and we enjoy each other. And it worked. And we're still even today after all these many years later. We're still enjoy each other.

Yeah. Your age difference on screen is basically exactly your age difference in real life.

I think it is about. Oh, I'm a little older. Yeah.

Yeah, just did you feel like there was some kind of difference in terms of your experience, you know, ten or fifteen more years, was there sort of any kind of mentorship on on on.

I if anything I was being. I mean Lizzy's a really um talented and skilled screen actress, you know, and I'm still or actor, sorry. But I'm still learning. We're both still learning. But I mean, I think she has a very innate gift for being very truthful and very like allowing the camera in a way that is um really important for a film actor. So I was learning a lot from her. But at the same time, I really understood the script and this world so it was a kind of it was a nice give and take.

We connect really well, don't you think?

We do. Yeah.

I just can't figure out if it's because you're advanced or because I'm stunted.

It's because I'm advanced. Maybe. But I'm also a little stunted.

Lizzy, you've had a meteoric rise recently. How did observing your sisters really help you prepare for this big moment?

Well, I think I've just just I mean, my sisters and every other family I kind of grew up with. Like I just happen to go to private school in Los Angeles and technically when you go to private school in Los Angeles, the majority of the people who go to that school have to do something with the industry, whether it's behind the scenes or whatnot. And so you end up just learning that everything's a job and that there isn't this mysticism about Hollywood, like to me the I say like get it, I feel uncomfortable just saying that word. Um, because it's it's this like fictitious world. But um, I'm just really happy and grateful that I get to like have options right now. I'm just really loving it. I'm really happy.

You look happy. Oh. And Josh, you obviously blew up when you started with how I met your mother.

Yeah. A little bit.

No, it's been now it's a now it's a really big show. It's amazing. How did you approach acting on camera this time around differently than you do when you act for how I met your mother.

Well, it's a different it's a it's a different style, you know. I mean, one of the things I love about how I met your mother is it's not just, you know, wacky sitcom all the time like we play some real moments and it has a beautiful mix of the kind of big laughs and really sincere, honest um story lines. So um, but it's also, you know, it's four cameras picking up everything. So the pace is different. The pacing in terms of, you know, we don't film in front of an audience, but there's a laugh track that they they put in for the convention of the multi camera comedy. But this, you know, you're this I wrote also so it's it's a little more in my rhythm and in my style of where I don't really try to make a joke unless a joke presents itself, like like in the midst of whatever we're doing, you know, I'm not I don't lead with humor, you know, all the time. But I like things that are, you know, funny and sad and complicated and truthful, you know, um, that's kind of what I'm going for in the movies and that demands a different kind of acting style across the board, I'd say.

Did your cast mates support you as you were creating this movie?

Oh yeah. Um, I mean, it's been great to have What did I say? No, they were real jerks about it. Um, you know, it's fun to talk to Jason because he, you know, has been writing movie, you know, a lot of his movies too and we we talk about scripts and different challenges, you know, um, along that kind of journey. But everyone's been amazing and, you know, it's like grown up we've grown up together, you know, eight years is a long time. People have kids now and, you know, we started it feels like we were so little.

That's so cool.

Yeah. family. Yeah, totally.
