Yeah Mindy and Justin talked about how difficult it was to cast a show via Zoom.
In retrospect you’re like, “How is that possible?”
So when did you first meet the other three women?
Was it on set or did you guys meet up virtually?
We were all at four corners of the planet and we met on Zoom and talked.
You mentioned loving Kimberly from the jump.
What was it about her that you connected with?
How does the show compare to your college experience?
It’s a different college experience.
But the rural college experience, that’s all I know.
The most important question I’ll ask you: Should pants cost more than $40?
[Laughs] Honestly they shouldn’t.
No, actually, they should and people should be able to afford them.
I loved that moment when Kimberly snapped at that kid.
I learned so much about her in that scene.
I like it too.
Something cracks in her.
Had you ever heard of anaked partybefore this show?
I didn’t hear about it in college but I know naked parties.
What was the filming of that like?
It was so fun!
First of all, with COVID, it was all the same background actors in every episode.
I think that generally the show did such a good job of casting.
The recurring roles, the supporting characters, everybody is good.
I’m so impressed when I watch it.
What was your reaction to that connection?
I’m still scarred from this list in middle school.
There were these guys in the class and they made like a hot girl list.
I was very friendly with them and I was like, “Oh can I see it?”
And they were like, “We’re not done yet.”
Then it goes around, they show it to me, and I wasn’t on there.
They were like, “But you’re number one on the pretty list!”
