00:00What was it like being handcuffed to the bed for so long?

00:13Does it make acting easier or harder?

00:16It makes acting a lot easier when you have nothing to do.

00:19You know what I mean? Your options are so limited.

00:21It simplifies things for you in a way.

00:24You know, it's still challenging.

00:25It was more so like how do you keep the scenes fresh

00:28when you only, you know, have one position?

00:31I think that was more of a thing for camera and you

00:34because you're moving around so to not repeat like the same setups.

00:38It was a unique experience being, you know,

00:42naked tied to a bed for 80% of filming.

00:46I loved it. It was comfortable.

00:47It was a nice bed.

00:48Good sheets.

00:49Good sheets. I like the handcuffs.

00:51Yeah, nice.

00:52Yeah, we did a little test in, you know,

00:54in the last week of prep where Logan came and tested different beds

01:00and different handcuffs with our production designer and our prop milestone.

01:04We really like found the best combo.

01:06It was very important to me.

01:07I was like, that was like one of the only things I mentioned was,

01:10what does the bed look like?

01:12Because that's going to show us how much I can move.

01:15Like, can I get my arms all over here?

01:17How much am I going to be able to sit up?

01:19It was like, all that was important.

01:21Now, now you're trapped.

01:23Still didn't play the scene as honestly as you can in that position.

01:27Did the handcuffs hurt at all?

01:28A little bit.

01:30Not bad.

01:31It was fine.

01:32If you got handcuffed to a bed on a date or some other situation,

01:38is there an optimal way of getting out of that?

01:40You really couldn't get out of those.

01:41I had a set of keys should Logan ever get abandoned by anyone.

01:46I always got abandoned.

01:47Yeah, you did get abandoned.

01:48People always forgot about me.

01:49But I felt so powerful.

01:49I was like, I can save him.

01:50Yeah.

01:51I felt my hero complex really came through on set.

01:54Like, oh, at any moment, he might need me.

01:56Five different people had keys.

01:58Yeah.

01:58And nobody would be off there.

02:00I'd just be like, all right, cut.

02:02Let's do the next set up or go to lunch.

02:04And I'd just literally just be, hey in there.

02:08That was cool.

02:09We were just with it.

02:10Yeah.

02:11No.

02:11Yeah.

02:12How would I get out though?

02:13You couldn't.

02:14There was no way to get out of those.

02:15I could get to it with my mouth.

02:17Then maybe I would shoot.

02:18If you could have, okay, the leather.

02:20Yeah.

02:20The chain, I think, no.

02:21No, chew the leather.

02:22Yeah.

02:23Was the moment where you say that Dunkin' Donuts has better croissants than Paris,

02:28was that an improv moment?

02:30A hundred percent.

02:31That was improvised.

02:32That whole sequence was improvised.

02:35Do you feel strongly about Dunkin' Donuts or their croissants?

02:38No, no, not at all.

02:40I went to Venice, Italy for two days in the middle of our shoot and then came back and

02:45we went to Dunkin' that morning for coffee.

02:47Yeah.

02:47And that's why I thought of it.

02:48And you were extremely different.

02:49I loved it.

02:50I was jet lagged and unwell.

02:51And unwell.

02:52I also love that it's sort of a first vacation date gone wrong.

02:56Was there anything either personally or that you heard from friends or other people that

03:01sort of inspired this setup?

03:03Gosh, well I do feel like the first trip is such a big deal when you're dating someone.

03:08It does feel like you're going to leave either breaking up or being in a relationship.

03:14I definitely like have been dating someone and then they've made like,

03:17oh, we should go do this trip.

03:19We should go to Europe.

03:19And I'm like, he's obsessed with me.

03:22Okay, we're getting married.

03:23And then like the next week he's broken up with me.

03:24And I've been like, huh, interesting.

03:26Same thing happened to me.

03:27Yeah, it's a funny love bomb-y thing where it's like,

03:30I see us taking this wild thing.

03:32This is great.

03:33Or I was talking to my mom about, you know.

03:35It's the biggest test.

03:36It's like, can you survive a trip together?

03:39Completely.

03:39That's going to tell you everything about your relationship and how you navigate an airport.

03:46Or this is a road trip.

03:47But it tells you how you're going to navigate a relationship together.

03:51In the movie, you guys sing Islands in the Stream, which in the movie You're Cordially Invited,

03:57Geraldine sings with Will Ferrell.

03:59If you guys had a karaoke off, which duo do you think is winning?

04:04Obviously, Will and Geraldine.

04:07What do you think?

04:08No.

04:08You think us?

04:09Us.

04:09Wow.

04:10Are you kidding?

04:12Us.

04:12We would destroy, destroy that.

04:16I think you guys, yeah.

04:17I would vote for it.

04:18Not that, you know, they're good at all.

04:19They're okay.

04:20I think you could have a four person.

04:23Yeah, we could all start a band.

04:24Yeah.

04:25The movie is coming out.

04:26Do you guys have any plans to sort of like celebrate our work?

04:29A lot of drugs.

04:29We just want to be blacked out, black out today.

04:35And it's only in theaters, so.

04:37I just want movies to be in theaters so bad.

04:40This was a true independent film that like earned distribution.

04:43And it's going to be on a lot of screens.

04:45I just hope people come and see it because it's important for everything,

04:49for the movie, for the film industry, you know, come see it in theaters.

04:52You have to figure out the number that it needs to do in the box office.

04:55And if it hits that, I will close news.

04:58Oh my God, wow.

05:00Literally.

05:00There we go.

05:01Or at least we'll have nothing else to say.

05:02We'll have the same, yeah, yeah, yeah.

05:04Okay, great.

05:05Do you have a number you would like to say?

05:07And no.

05:08Yeah, pick a number, Lowe.

05:09What's a number?

05:10Pick a number.

05:10Let's mint that.

05:11A hundred million dollars.

05:13A hundred million dollars.

05:15We're a.

05:15Oh my God.

05:16Oh my God.

05:16It's the house sells barbie.

05:18Yeah, a house sells barbie.

05:19I was thinking nothing to hide it, but like a Merkin bikini or something.

05:24Jesus Christ.

05:25Just imagine this.

05:26Wow.

05:27Yeah.

05:27Just picture that.

05:28Okay, great.
