Wendi McClendon-Covey and Michaela Watkins Talk About 'Paint' 

We're hearing next from two of the funniest actresses on television who've made us laugh in series like the Goldbergs and Casual. And now Wendy mcclendon Covey and Michaela Watkins are co starring in the new movie called Paint in our, our Jordan spoke to the actresses recently. This is about a movie inspired by Bob Ross. Look at this, Michaela and Wendy, thank you for joining us. Let's talk all things paint the film judging by the trailers. Looks so, so fun. You both like Carl Naral's love interest in the film. In fact, you're in a love triangle uh with him or with one another. Tell me how fun it was to be a part of that. Well, it was, it was um funny because, you know, my character, he said something nice to me back in the nineties and I've never forgotten it. And I, I still continue to dress the way that I looked when he first noticed me. So I've been wearing the same tired juicy sweats for several decades and where, you know, the pants at first said juicy. Now they say juicy. So, um yeah, and we all know that he's really in love with Michaela's character and has always been that way. So why we're hanging on is, is just really pathetic. But in the end we're like, you guys need to be together. So go do that. The movie does seem to have this kind of undertone of women supporting each other, right? Despite all of them having had relationships uh with Carl, am I right in picking that up? Can you speak to that theme a little bit for me? I think you're absolutely right about that. Uh You know, on and off camera, we just, all I did was laugh at these women constantly. It was so, so fun to shoot with them. But I think also embedded in the script. Uh they're not ferociously uh competitive with each other or catty. I think that I, I, I have to really give it up to Britt mcadams who wrote it and directed it for not doing that for not like um pitting women against each other in this film. I thought that was pretty great. I think that the real competition is between this older dude and this younger woman who's quite vibrant coming in and you know, taking over and turning the whole station on its head. He's become so ambitious for fame that he's forgotten his artistic uh heart and his romantic heart and all these things and that it took being challenged by this younger um more interesting, more relevant woman to, to do that, Wendy How about you? Talk to me a little bit about this theme. Uh You know, Michael, you mentioned that we see both on screen and off screen um of supporting women. I really felt um that we were working as a unit like whenever one of the other girls would have a great scene and we saw it, we would absolutely gush over them and tell them how great they were and be very supportive in that way. It was nothing like, oh, she, she was funny now that's gonna step all over my performance like it, none of us worked that way. Wendy. You just reminded me that uh at one point while shooting, we all got together and had lunch and talked about money and pay in our industry and like specifically kind of sat down and had like a really honest pow out with all the other actresses, you know, with Lucy and Sierra and um I don't think Lucia made it that to, to that. But um, it was, it was so illuminating and so refreshing to be able to really just, you know, have the conversation that I think people are afraid that women are having, which is like, uh, oh, if they start comparing notes on what we're paying them, that could be a dicey. Absolutely. I'm so glad to hear that and I'm sure our viewers will be too. It's definitely refreshing. Uh, like you mentioned Mila and Wendy. Thank you so much. For being here. I so enjoyed it.
