After breaking out as Mary Anne Spier in Netflix's 'The Baby-Sitters Club,' Malia Baker has become one of Disney's brightest young stars as Chloe Charming in the 'Descendants' franchise. Joining us on the couch for the first time, Malia chats all about 'Descendants: Wicked Wonderland,' where Chloe and Red must deal with the consequences of changing the past alongside a new generation of heroes and villains.

The Botswana-born, Vancouver-raised actress discusses filming her solo musical number, whether she'd change the past if she could time travel, and the film's themes of friendship, loyalty, and why not every villain is truly a villain. She also opens up about her Disney audition journey, what she learned from working with Brandy, why she intentionally keeps her distance from social media, her activism, and executive producing as well as starring in 'Hair of the Bear,' which was co-directed by Alexandre Trudeau, the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, plus much more.

This inimitable, hilarious, and quip-tastic D’arcy Carden joins us on the couch for the first time to discuss her new ensemble show ‘Five Star Weekend,’ where she plays an over-eager pal with zero social awareness alongside stellar cast including Jennifer Garner, Chloe Sevigny, Regina Hall, and Gemma Chan, to name a few! But we also had to get into her iconic other roles, specifically Janet from ‘The Good Place,’ her early years juggling improv at Upright Citizens Brigade, and popping into numerous eps of ‘Broad City’ thanks to her fellow UCB crew Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson. Oh and nannying for none other than Bill Hader who she ultimately wound up on screen with ‘Barry’ alongside Henry Winkler. Phew.

We also discuss her adoration of Maya Rudolph (another co-star), her cool as hell upbringing in the Bay Area, her love of Pearl Jam, her cry prep playlist, her appearances on ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and ‘Jeopardy,’ plus her special bond with Lenny Kravitz and just what The Smashing Pumpkins had to do with her changing the spelling of her name. Don’t miss. She’s a hoot.

Thirteen years since the end of ‘Victorious’ and its spin-off is now imminent: ‘Hollywood Arts,’ starring Daniella Monet reprising her role as Trina (and exec producing). Crazy. Crazier still that Monet — who came up with Zach — has never been on the show. So this interview is really more like a catch up with old friends as they reflect on the next chapter of one of Nickelodeon's most beloved franchises. Together they look back at the original show's legacy, where we left Trina, how the show came together, and what fans can expect as the story picks up — with a few familiar faces set to return.

Beyond ‘HA’ Daniella opens up about balancing acting with raising two children, why Hallmark movies have become such a great fit for this stage of her life, and the changing entertainment landscape since she first dreamed of landing a Nickelodeon show. Other topics discussed: the ‘Victorious’ cast group chat, Trina's evolution, Daniella's audition for ‘Hannah Montana’ and ‘Chicago’ (she busts out some bars), an unexpected run-in with Tom Cruise, filming a McDonald's commercial as a vegan, whether Zach might finally make his long-awaited cameo in the ‘Victorious’ universe, and so much more.

Best known to many through her hilarious TikToks which often rope in her Oscar-winning legend of a Martin Scorsese, 26-year-old Francesca is also carving out a career as an actor/director/writer in her own right and she joins us fresh off the announcement that she’s been cast in Season 2 of Amazon's 'Mr. & Mrs. Smith.'

We talk about growing up on legendary film sets, why acting scares her more than directing, and how the two disciplines inform one another. Francesca also opens up about hyperfixation, anxiety, becoming a caregiver after her mother was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's, the heartbreak of grieving someone who is still alive (the experiences of which informed her short film ‘Fish Out of Water’), navigating "nepo baby" discourse, and responding to TikTok haters. We also chat about the script she's currently writing, crushing on Asa Butterfield during 'Hugo,' her blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the One Direction doc, what she thinks about Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz, Saint Carlo Acutis, and plenty more.
