01:27Then I'm telling let's just keep going on other things. All right, how do you how do you relax during the summer? What kind of things do you do? Well, this summer I've spent the whole time in Canada. You're from Canada. Yeah, I'm from Canada What are you doing Canada?

01:44Well, I've been going to the cottage. That's the big Canadian pastime What part of Canada are we talking about now northern up there far? Way north away. Yeah. Yeah, you get a little delirious at the end of the drive. It's it's pretty far Is it is it on a body of water? Yeah. Yeah, we went just most recently I went up to Manitoulin Islands, which is so stunning absolutely beautiful People here from Manitoulin Islands, they're from the National Geographic

02:19I Know how else could you explain that? And what what sort of activities do you do up there? Well, it was a real education actually we the first day we went up flying to my friends just graduated from flight school No That that seems a little risky. It's not necessarily risky two years of education. It was okay. It was great Yeah, so so we went up flying and um

02:47We'd had a lot of French toast That morning before we went up and I don't I really don't recommend that because the windows are like, you know He said oh well if you're feeling a little sick just you know, open the window and I was like What what window and he leans over and like pops out this little thing like the size of a quarter my friend and I were like

03:12Oh my god, four-seater plane. It was so hot and so stuffy, but that was great and then and then we um We killed a chicken I accidentally or I mean I Wish accidentally a friend of mine. She's a veterinarian and she

03:37Like did the the neck yeah, I don't understand a lot of this because The in this country if you want chicken you just go to the supermarket, right? You don't really need to call a vet Tell me what I'm missing in this story

04:05Well, I mean we wanted a really fresh Right so so someone you know raises chickens When I know who came with us as a veterinarian, she's not afraid of killing chickens, so That's a sign of a good vet right there Next

04:32So then then who did she also clean the chicken did she pluck the feathers and clean it and such yeah Yeah, she there was evidence of that in the The field I wasn't there for the actual chicken killing. I was I Went into the bathroom and powdered my nose and stayed out of it, but and then was it was a tasty good-eaten It was the best chicken

05:02Now Speaking airplanes this red I think I'm right about this it's mostly on the plane and it's really creepy, isn't it and Yeah, it turns out that you're sitting next to a guy who wants to do something terrible And he kind of holds you hostage in mid-flight and forces you to do something against your will to save your father. Is that right?

05:19Yeah, oh my god Yeah, it's pretty harrowing Yeah, and the whole thing is mostly shot on a not an actual plane but a set of an airplane Yeah, it was it was amazing. They built this you know really authentic looking plane You know the dimensions were all exact like stains on the seat covers everything It was amazing and where you what were you flying in the business class of first class called Fred it was in coach

05:47And it was fresh air. Oh, that's not that's a great name for it. It was great Yeah, that was West's idea so and then and then the built the plane was built on hydraulics so that we could get the Real feeling of turbulence and it was it was pretty powerful It was so powerful that they sorry I was gonna say when when they simulate the turbulence Did you find yourself reacting like as though it were real turbulence? I think I might have

06:14Because I hate to fly so desperately. Oh, you do. Yeah, that any suggestion of turbulence real or pretend would would Make me want to kill a chicken Did you find that to be true Well, I mean it helped me for my character because it's supposed to be terrified of flying So I was kind of excited that it was it was that intense and I didn't have to pretend

06:41But in post when we went to do that do the looping We had to loop so much of it because the sound that came out sounded like It's like it sounded like a four-poster bed Let's take a look at the clip here it opens August 19th. It's red. I do you know what the clip is Rachel
