I did say The Game, David Fincher.

That's what I was gonna say!

[Luis Guzmán] Oh! You win! Okay.

I'm gonna give you that because I love you.

Come back on the chair.

No, please go back on the footage

and watch me struggle to figure out

what the [beep] that movie is called.

[upbeat music]

[Cast] Hi, we're the cast of Wednesday!

And we're gonna see how well we know each other,

only for Vanity Fair.

And I'm gonna start.

What is my favorite song from the movie, Chicago?

Probably, Cell Block Tango.

I was going to say Cell Block Tango.

Which ones the, the title of that one?

I mean that's just my favorite.

It Don't Mean a Thing [If It Ain't Got That Swing]?

That's the wrong musical.

On saying that, half the world thinks I did cabaret,

but it's okay.

I'm talking about Chicago.

Chicago! And time's up in 10 Seconds.

Chicago, 10.

Luis, you've never seen the movie, have you?

It's okay. You can tell.

I think, I think, I think,

Some of it. You've seen the trailers. Good enough.

Yeah. What about you, Jen?

Well, I say Cell Block Tango.

Or is it All That Jazz? Okay. What about you, Fred?

What's that one,

John C. Reilly sings? Oh!

Mister? Cellophane.

Mister Cellophane.

Yeah. I was gonna say

Cell Block Tango. I mean, that's my favorite.

I was also gonna say Cell Block Tango.

Okay. And you're all wrong!

Because, Velma Kelly has to sing,

[Joy] All That Jazz, All That Jazz!

That's what you said.

And it was one of my,

it was my favorite. Oh!

I don't feel so bad.

[Staff] Joy did say,

I did hear it, I did say that.

All That Jazz. Yeah.

Joy. Joy wins.

Joy wins. You said, did you?

I'm sorry, Joy.

Well, it was my second answer, so it's okay.

It's good enough. Okay.

Out of all the characters I've played,

whose costumes, characters did you love the most?

I'm gonna have to say Zorro.

Oh really?

Beautiful costume. You wore that.

I'm just gonna say Morticia. I was gonna say the same.

I gotta say. Hmm.

Okay. I think we got a few winners here.

Morticia, Wednesday.

Ah! Yes.

Yeah.

What is my favorite film of my husband's?

Oh, man. I think Fatal Attraction.

This is gonna be hard.

I was gonna say Fatal Attraction, too, Fred.

I would have to say Traffic.

Okay.

Traffic.

You said that because [laughs]

We were in it.

Yeah, you were. You were there as well.

Fatal Attraction. Okay.

Yeah, Fatal Attraction,

I think is, No.

I'm gonna say Traffic.

Let's split the vote.

I should have said Traffic,

'cause I was, we were in that together. That's the only one.

But I did say The Game. David Fincher.

That's what I was gonna say!

Oh! You win!

Okay. No, I, I'm gonna give you that.

Oh, my God. Okay.

I'm gonna give you that because I love you.

Come back on the chair.

No, please go back on the footage

and watch me struggle to figure out

what the [beep] that movie is called.

Sorry, that was, that was very dramatic,

but you can see my struggle for a really long time.

[Catherine Zeta-Jones] Okay.

I'll take half a point. Half a point.

All right.

If I came with a warning label, what would it be?

You wouldn't.

I don't think this,

but I think you would say, Stubbornness.

I would say, Beware: baggy jeans.

[Emma Myers chuckles]

[Joy Sunday laughing]

I would say, Keep your voice down.

Mm.

I go to bed at seven.

I'll have to say, Tranquilla.

Still waters run deep.

I said, Wanders off.

[buzzer]

Okay. Sorry. Yeah. That's okay.

Wow. Jesus Christ, I'm sorry.

What's my favorite thing to do when I'm bored?

Don't know that half of you would notice.

Wanders off? I was about to say,

wanders off.

No. [Joy Sunday laughs]

Go to techno rave parties?

[Emma Myers] No. You like,

You like to do puzzles and paint, you know,

A teahouse. Find a good teahouse.

Yeah, teahouse. Take selfies?

Tearooms. Tearooms.

Every day off, you would always go to the tea, tea place,

in Dublin.

You're so right. That's actually, I mean,

read, tea, games. All of the stuff on this, those are good.

If I could have any other career, what would it be?

Animal conservation. Another,

Animal conservation. Yeah.

Work with cheetahs.

Yeah. Work with cheetahs.

Yeah.

Animal conservation is right.

Yeah. I'm gonna say that too.

What?

I'm gonna say customs agent.

Just to, kind of, change it up a little bit.

To change it up?

Yeah. Disturb the peace.

Surprisingly, Fred is right.

No, yeah, animals. Anything with animals.

I'd probably either work on a sanctuary

or I'd be one of those guys

that you see on, like, National Geographic

who's like narrating and there's a penguin next to him

and he's like giving you penguin facts. Yeah.

What's my weirdest on-set habit?

What's your weirdest on-set?

Weirdest on-set habit,

Wandering off. Wandering.

[Emma Myers chuckles]

Wandering.

Maybe lying on the floor.

I'd say scratching yourself.

[Emma Myers gasps]

I do actually.

Why're you telling? [laughs]

Why you trying to,

I dunno.

Because I dunno what my habit is.

I say scratching.

Luis knows the answer.

I've been observing her all morning.

She does this a lot.

[Joy] Actually, making tea. That's crazy.

I don't think you have a weird on-set habit. No.

You read in between takes and are professional, and nice.

I do lie on the floor. Georgie's right.

I put scratch and floor to be fair.

Yeah. My girl.

[upbeat music]

All right.

If I could live anywhere for the rest of my life,

where would I live?

I think I know.

New Zealand? New Zealand.

Yeah. I'm gonna say New Zealand.

I'm gonna say England.

I've never said this publicly.

I think it's too early to call.

There's gonna be so many wonders

and places you're gonna see in your, on your journey.

I think it's way too early to call.

Yeah. You know what I'm gonna say?

You haven't found that place yet.

I'll say Idaho.

France.

[buzzer]

I'm just saying that 'cause we just went on that stop

and every time I'm back in France,

whether it be the countryside

or whether it be a big city like Paris, I think, oh,

France is beautiful.

I could do this.

Who was my childhood crush?

Luis Guzmán. You said this before.

[card smacking] Oh no, no! Oh.

I'm gonna say it was Tammy Lee Jones?

[Joy] Mm.

[Luis] [Jenna Ortega laughs] Oh, oh, oh, oh.

I'm gonna say Albert Einstein.

I'm trying to think of some sort of, like, rocker.

Maybe someone from The Strokes or something?

No, like, Someone from The Strokes?

No, like more, more grit, I think.

Oh, you think harder than that?

What's the band?

Just say it, just say someone.

The band on the album cover?

Oh, Velvet Underground?

Yeah.

You're saying Lou Reed.

I have only said Obama publicly

because I thought I was gonna be the first female president,

but it was more so I think, I wanted his job than a crush.

[buzzer] I never have an answer

to that question when they asked me in interviews.

So, I was like,

who was I obsessed with? I was obsessed with Obama.

He's a safe one.

Yeah. If I opened up a store, what would I sell?

Oh, wow. Ooh.

Records.

I will say, I will say pet supplies.

I feel like you'd have a really funky antique store

with like different,

Cassette tapes? Things in it.

I was gonna say mixed tapes.

I was gonna say antiques, yeah.

Well done.

What's my favorite Catherine Zeta-Jones movie?

Mm.

What is it, Mama?

Um, I don't know. There's a few bad ones in there, too.

Pick a goodie. I think it would be Traffic.

I will say Chicago. I'll say Chicago.

I love Chicago. So I'll say Chicago.

I think Traffic.

I put two because obviously, Chicago is a classic,

but also Ocean's Twelve.

Ooh.

No one ever counts that but like,

if I'm on a plane or something, that's what I'm doing.

I wanna see Don Cheadle with a British accent.

[Catherine laughs]

I wanna see Vincent Cassel.

I love that.

Thank you. That's the choice.

She sounds like she's learning something, too.

I'm saying Survivor.

[Joy laughs]

I'm gonna join you, Jenna,

because I'd be happy to be on a deserted island with you,

I think you'd figure out what to do.

Yeah. So, it's actually a show

called Legends of the Hidden Temple,

[laughing] which was like a 90s,

like, kids Nickelodeon, game show.

I feel like Amazing Race is close enough.

Okay.

But Tim doesn't give advice.

Tim doesn't give words of wisdom.

[Joy laughs]

I'm gonna be so upset if she says, Put my name down,

I'm gonna walk out of this room.

Well, I didn't put any names down.

Truthfully. It is, it is Luis.

But,

that's because he's always been just such an amazing figure.

However, I would take any and all advice from Catherine.

I'm just gonna say I don't know if I stand with that.

Yeah, Luis's always been in my corner,

so I'd have to say Luis.
