With director Judd Apatow’s The Bubble now streaming on Netflix, I recently got to speak with Leslie Mann, Iris Apatow, Maria Bakalova and Karen Gillan about the pandemic-set comedy. During the fun interview, they talked about making the film, what it was like filming the TikTok dance scenes, why press ask actors to solve world problems, what happens if Netflix really makes a Cliff Beasts movie, what people would be surprised to learn about the making of the movie, how they filmed another big dance number that didn’t make the final cut, and more.

If you haven’t seen the trailers, The Bubble is about the cast and crew of a blockbuster franchise (Cliff Beasts) who try to make a sequel while quarantining at a posh hotel “somewhere in England.” The film also stars David Duchovny, Pedro Pascal, Keegan-Michael Key, , Vir Das, Rob Delaney, Galen Hopper, Nick Kocher, Danielle Vitalis, Guz Khan, Kate McKinnon, Peter Serafinowicz, Harry Trevaldwyn, Samson Kayo and Fred Armisen.
