It was an absolute dream and a pleasure to speak Melanie, but I’m very nervous for what’s about to happen in Yellowjackets 😳
Same
You were so warm and genuine in this interview and I believe you can really see that in Melanie's reactions :) Lovely interview!
You did amazing. She seemed so comfortable with you.
You did a great job, it was such a calm and composed interview. She seemed at ease to chat to you :)
loooved this interview, you did a great job!!!
Melanie learning about "mother" was so freaking cute
I loved it when she said I have other questions....😂😂😂. I swear I did not realize she was in Heavenly Creatures and also but I'm only a cheerleader that just absolutely floors me I have to rewatch those now cuz I absolutely love Melanie she is one of the most underrated actresses in today's TV and film industry. Love Love her in yellow jackets and The Last of Us she is absolutely phenomenal. ❤❤❤.
Agreed.
I'm glad to see her getting the acclaim she's deserved for so long.
she deserves the world!
Seriously!❤❤❤❤
Melanie Lynskey is a incredible actress I am so glad shes getting the recognition she deserves.. I also feel the same for long time actor pedro pascal. Veteran longtime actors becoming famous. Its especially gratifying and refreshing as a movie lover
Couldn't agree more.
Absolutely! Both actors are incredible and I love that they both are stars in popular series
Melanie Lynskey is a class act. Excellent actor and lovely human being by all accounts.
Ahhhhh I loved this interview!!! So different from the things they usually ask her. I really enjoyed this
Jesus, what is about to happen on Yellowjackets?! This was lovely. She's the best.
Thank you for mentioning this heavy ass statement lol I have no idea tho and with yellowjackets we all know we will be in the same situation living our everyday lives thinking about said horrible thing lol the worst thing I can think of. Is maybe Shauna kills cally ? I'm not sure thats pretty much the only thing in Shaunas adult time line atm but at least Melanie gave us a chance to prepare for it , if Jeff dies we riot lol also my names Evan aswell lol and my best friend in high schools last name was fowler weird lol
we know it's pretty likely that Shauna gives birth in ep 6. they've talked about ep2, ep6 and ep9 being absolutely insane. we know why the said it about ep2. i am dying to know what happens at the end of the season but i'm along for the ride.
I think Callie might get killed or Jeff will give himself up to the police to save shauna
Seriously! the disturbing part is yet to come?!
@@doublefeature They said episode 8 too. I'm fucking scared lmao
It’s a tragedy that you didn’t do Ever After! I LOVED her in that movie! She’s amazing ❤
That was a huge disappointment. That movie is amazing.
Jacqueline gets no respect even outside the movie 😭
I would’ve loved to see a clip from Ever After … love her so much!!!
I'm only here for the food...
See her in "I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore." it is a great, unique dark comedy. She's brilliant in it.
I remember liking her a lot in Heavenly Creatures and Ever After, back when I was like 8-12yo, I'm so happy she's had this longevity and diversity in work. I always smile when I see her in a film or show, my housemate didn't understand why I loved seeing her in the Last of Us (which had a lot of really cool cameos, like Graham Greene & Elaine Miles from Northern Exposure). Anyway, I think Lynskey is a fantastic actress and I'm happy she has an amazing fandom / resume.
I wish they've talked about The Perks of Being a Wallflower! She made such an impact even having short screen time.
Its kind of hard to ask a actor about a film where they play an abuser
I understand. It's a challenge and I honestly don't think I could've done it either. Just came across my mind after reading about Stanley Tucci's experience while filming Lovely Bones. Anyway, this is an incredible interview and it turned me into a fan of yours. By the way, I'm from Brazil. Let me know if you're ever around. Keep going 👏🏼🇧🇷
Her voice is so nice. She should do ASMR
I’m glad she’s getting the credit she deserves. I’ve loved her since Ever After!
That short “The Birthday Party” she did for XX really lives in my head rent free. I feel that most people didn’t get it, and that’s EXACTLY why she liked it.
She really chooses interesting roles! Much like Parker Posey!
Been a fan of Melanie's since I first saw her in Heavenly Creatures years ago. Always found her very underrated. I'm glad to see her getting more recognition and praise. She deserves it.
She’s such an underrated actress.
i had to go look up the film with her and Jason because i was like WHAT was it originally called?? ohhhh Teddy Bears. she's right about her accent making it sound like something else. i really thought she said Titty Beers.
Me too!! 😂😂😂
If you ever want a good laugh, try to engage a Kiwi on the topic of decks 😂
@@JC-yy8iv lol i've seen the commercial!!
i used to be too embarrassed to let people over to see my deck.. now? my decks the talk of the town!
When I found out she was married to Jason Ritter 😮😮 I said GET OUT!!! 😊😊 I WAS SERIOUSLY BLOWN AWAY!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Heavenly creatures will always be her and Kate Winslet's best performance . Such hard roles for young women seeing as it was 100% based on real people and a real murder in NZ
I've been a Melanie Stan since Heavenly Creatures. She's just a lovely person inside and out!
Melanie Lynskey, Pedro Pascal, Jennifer Coolidge, Catherine Hahn and Ke Huy Quan! 2022/2023 is the year of the of amazing character actors getting there just desserts. Now if we can get Judy Geer on this train too that would be perfect 😊
I love her so much. Outside of the roles shown here, I'd encourage people to check out The Intervention with her, her husband, Natasha, and Clea, as well as I Don't Feel At Home in this World Anymore which is such a badass movie and I think partly why she's having a Renaissance now
I feel the exact same way about those two films. I mean, she's brilliant in everything she's in but those two movies should be seen by more people.
@@420alo Agreed! In particular I see a lot of her I Don't Feel... character in Yellowjackets. The juxtaposition of stifled suburban loser with murderous frustration building up.
I agree. I've only just watched The Intervention and can't believe I didn't know about it before. Clea did an amazing job! Plus it was so great to have Clea, Melanie and Natasha back together.
@@booberfraggle3839 Melanie isn't in this (yet at least...) but Natasha's new show on Peacock, Poker Face, is incredible and has Clea DuVall guest starring in one episode in a very memorable way
@@looney1023 Yeah, Poker Face is awesome! It only aired in the UK a couple of weeks ago, which drove me nuts as I'd been hearing such great things about it for months. I loved Clea's character and hope that they can work her into the second series somehow, hopefully with Melanie as well.
Melanie ❤ It’s nice to see her with such a lovely, natural interviewer! Thank you.
Anyone remember her on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia lol ? Her character and husband consider using Dee as a surrogate
i'm so obsessed with her on yellowjackets and can't believe i haven't seen her in anything else... or, well, i had but she didn't stick with me! i just watched Don't Look Up! she's so adorable. i've added several of her movies and shows to my list.
A favourite of mine they didn't mention is I Don't Feel At Home in this World Anymore with Elijah Wood. It has a simiiar black humour vibe to Yellowjackets.
She's so fantastic in everything.
I loved her character "Rose" in 2 1/2 men. I recently saw her on Jimmy Fallon and I said that's Rose! But I wasn't sure because she looks so young still. I thought she'd look much older by now but she's just as beautiful now as she was then. I'm so happy to know she'd done all these movies. I'll have to catch some of them.
Great interview! I really enjoyed her work in Yellowjackets and The Last of Us. My introduction to Lynskey's work came with Ever After: A Cinderella Story; really surprised it wasn't included here.
Heavenly Creatures will always be my all time favourite movie. Melanie and Kate were so tremendous- especially considering it was their first film. However, I will also always be a little bitter that Melanie didn't get the career that Kate did. They are both equally talented and in a just world, Melanie would have several blockbusters and Oscar nominations to her name. Unfortunately, she wasn't the definition of the Euro beauty standard that Kate was/is so alas. I'm glad she's finally getting recognition
I agree. "Heavenly Creatures" is a masterpiece, one of those movies that always stick with you, even after years. And Melanie and Kate had such chemistry together!
Heavenly creatures ❤
Yes!
These interviews are so wholesome! Please more!
a film people should check her in is Rose Red, a made for tv film based on a Stephen King story, Melanie was amazing in it.
She was also in Ever After: A Cinderella Story.
I just saw her in Rose Red and she was so good and soo young. I remember when that came out and I wanted that movie so bad. They wouldn't release the movie and I finally got to purchase it this year, and I watched it last week it is absolutely phenomenal. When I saw the beginning credits I could not believe it 😮....OMG one if my fav actresses is in this....WHOA!!!! LOVE MELANIE!!!!
Yes, she was quite good in Rose Red!
Melanie, you're so spectacular! I cannot wait to watch Yellowjackets this week and all the weeks to come, you shine in it!
I love that the cast of But I'm A Cheerleader have remained actual friends for all this time
This was so adorable on both interviewer and interviewee!
AWWW JEEF. she said it.
I was imagining Jiff...lolll 😅
@@anissamarie1872 jiff or gif lol. the yellowjackets cast mates make fun of her for saying jeff as jiff. cracks my shit up.
Such a delightful interview, Melanie is so sweet and "old" like me 😂... love her
Great interview 🔥
I LOVE that she is finally getting the recognition she deserves!! I've loved her since the 90s!
i wish she would have spoken about her role in Ever After!!! such a great role!
Such a big fan of hers. I remember seeing heavenly creatures on vhs when it came to the US. Watched everything she was in since then. Such a talented and humble actor.
If you like Melanie I can recommend - 'I don't feel at home in this world anymore.' Very quirky and her and Elija Wood were brilliant 😊
Fab interview w/ great clips!
I'm loving the clip of Melanie with Kate Winslet from Heavenly Creatures!
It's mind boggling that that I haven't seen it yet... I absolutely must (and am resolved to) 🤩🤩💗!!!
I love Melanie so much!!! I wish they would've talked about Ever After! 🤩
I would have never guessed that she was from New Zealand. Her American accent is flawless!
So unaffected it's very comforting.
She’s so precious my goodness
Lovely interview
She's so great
Omg all this time I never knew she had a accent >.< I love her even more now.
This was so earnest and endearing for both ladies. Lovely.
Mel is awesome! So glad she’s doing so much now👍👍
shes the sweetest person ever
She was incredible as Beatrice in Over The Garden Wall!
I have known her since Ever After😂😂shame that role was mentioned! Love her she’s a great actress!
she's so lovely
Absolutely love her ❤
I fell in love with her from Ever After. She's AMAZING in Away We Go as well.
I love her voice 😍
We are proud of Mel back here in New Zealand
Love this actress. Her movies are great.
She truly is so mother!
I first saw her in Psych as Emily Bloom, and I've been a fan ever since!
Love this interview ❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉
Melanie is alwaysssss cute!!!!!!❤
I had to look at the subtitles because I definitely heard "titty beers" when she said "teddy bears" 😂
Mommy🥺
I want her to read my books at night to help me fall asleep.
Love this actress.
I just adored you on Two and a Half Men~~So happy she's on Yellowjackets~~She's funny and serious~~Great actress~~
Love Melanie! I first saw her in Coyote Ugly and have been a fan ever since.
Wonderful actress xx
The first thing I ever saw her in was Ever After, but she will always be Sissy (Rose Red) to me❤❤❤
I love her in ever after
oh my god she was on PSYCH I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HER!!!!!!! BABY GREW UP
She's so cute omg
Besides Cheerleader my other favorite Melanie was in Away We Go... def one of the best parts of that movie too!
I love The Last of Us the game and what so excited when I saw her in the show.
I love her mixed accent.
For me the introduction was Detroit Rock City🤘🤘 she's amazing
She's so wonderful! But I'm a Cheerleader is so underrated.
What do u mean it’s one of the biggest queer cult classics lol
@RussellA It's so often overlooked
I hope they show Detroit Rock City! I think that’s the first thing I saw her in, and I’ve always loved her❤❤
Oh u just love her! She's a kiwi icon
the intervention is the film she met her husband on and i love it sm😭😭the best but i’m a cheerleader reunion
No, they were already together then. The movie she was first with Jason on was The Big Ask.
My favorite movie of hers is Stephen Kings Rose Red. 🧡 My brothers favorite is Heavenly Creatures. 🧡
Lol it's funny how every interview I've seen for an actor in The Last of Us, they all said none of them really knew the games but they ALL had a relative who said it was their favorite game.
I'm surprised there's no mention of Hello I Must Be Going. She's the lead and she's amazing in it!
Ah i was really hoping they were gonna mention her role in Rose Red, thats the first movie i saw her in
I just wanted to mention how much I love her in I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore, as well. Pretty much my whole family is obsessed with Yellowjackets and we literally wished aloud that they would add Elijah Wood to the Yellowjackets cast (pretty much on the strength of how great he and Melanie were together in that wonderful, odd little movie) a few months before they made the announcement that he actually would be coming! So we feel pretty high right now on the one and only thing we ever successfully manifested. Well… my sister can demand that someone skate to Bolero every time figure skating is on tv and always get her wish. But it seems like maybe they just do that anyway.
Natasha Lyonne and Clea Duvall would also be great on Yellowjackets! Just saying!
We talked about I don’t feel at home in the world anymore! Not everything could make the final edit but I wrote about what she said in an article coming out on BuzzFeed today
How could you leave out her most famous roles/movies Ever After, Sweet Home Alabama, Coyote Ugly, etc.?
We had extremely limited time, if it was up to me we would’ve spoken about literally every role
Can't believe they didn't touch on Ever After. It was my first ever introduction to Melanie Lynskey
Great Interview! The interviewer's voice is giving Florence Pugh
Thankyou!
I’m gutted that she didn’t get to talk about one of my favorite films Ever After.
Rose! ❤
OMG the beginning LMAOOOOO MOTHER IS MOTHERING
Now that YJ season 2 is complete, there are two moments she could be talking about and I’m wondering which one!
I’ve watched so many things that she’s been in and I HAD NO IDEA she has an accent?!?
Leaving out Ever After feels so wrong😭
She never realizes that stuff gets more popular because of HER
No mention of I Don't Feel at Home in this World Anymore. That's how I became a fan of hers.
