Angourie Rice is at the MCCS!
She's the Aussie acting export currently stacking one of the best resumes in Hollywood — Cady Heron in the new Mean Girls, daughter to Kate Winslet in Mare of Easttown, the Ashley O fan girl in arguably the best Black Mirror ever made, and Betty Brant in EVERY Tom Holland Spider-Man film. She's also named after a NSW beach. We know. We get into it.
Angourie is on the show to chat her BRAND NEW rom-com Finding Emily — out in cinemas May 22 — and Mitch (who got a private NBC Universal screening with just him and the phone bagger for company) is genuinely obsessed with it. We get into the embarrassing crush he's developed on co-star Spike Fearn, the genius of director Alicia MacDonald, and why this film made him fall back in love with the rom-com.
Plus — Angourie writes her Culture Card LIVE and uses it to deliver an actual library manifesto (you will be moved, you will be downloading a library card, this is non-negotiable), we unpack the FULL ranking of who terrified her more between Kate Winslet, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Garner (the answer involves a Hannah Montana hoedown throwdown and a solo birthday party arrival), she lets us in on the Manchester gay bar scenes from the film and pre-books a Stonewall night out on Oxford Street with Mitch & Grace, AND we discover she has never done a Maccas run as the driver. The audacity.
Enjoy!
