What is up? Welcome to the Mi Latino podcast.
00:05
Today we have the one and only Veronica Falcon from Lee Corin's
00:08
The Mummy joining us.
00:09
Thank you guys. Thank you for inviting us.
00:15
Say something. Don't worry,
00:21
grandma. It's fun to be dead.
00:23
I mean, we saw the movie,
00:24
right? And you definitely got to see it too,
00:28
So congrats. Thank you.
00:31
Loki, you're the best part of the movie.
00:34
no, please. Thank you.
00:35
Everybody. I think it's fantastic.
00:36
Crew, production, everybody.
00:38
At the top of their game,
00:39
the way the Pape of being that abuela,
00:43
that's my grandma right there.
00:44
I told him I was like thank you for saying that.
00:46
I left the movie and I was like,
00:47
Yeah, I need to call my grandma.
00:49
She she needed to pray more for me.
00:54
Yeah, I felt very human.
00:55
Sorry, I'll just say.
00:57
The family, no matter what happened,
00:58
I. If the audience doesn't believe this family is together and
01:03
this family really loves one another and really cares about one another
01:07
then the movie doesn't work.
01:09
And as a matriarch of the family,
01:11
my job in the movie is to contain this family.
01:14
It's funny you mention that because every day after school,
01:17
that was my, my life.
01:18
My grandma would come home,
01:21
all right, this seems like it could happen to me.
01:24
And you know, it's funny because we,
01:25
we A lot of times think well that's Latinos I think there's
01:28
families like that everywhere in the world and I think that's another
01:31
very important thing nowadays because with everything that's going in the world
01:34
that's insane we tend to forget how similar we are you know
01:38
we come from different places,
01:40
different ages, different backgrounds but at the end of the day
01:42
We all understand love.
01:44
We all understand fear,
01:45
and I think that's something that you,
01:47
you see in this movie,
01:48
and that's rare in the genre,
01:51
we're going to play a game called Tango Medo or no tengo
01:54
miedo. We're going to give you some scenarios and you tell
01:57
us miedo or no miedo if I'm fearful or not.
02:01
investigating a sarcophagus. Damn,
02:04
I learned how to say that word right.
02:05
Where is the sarcophagus?
02:09
in Cairo in a museum.
02:16
Hearing whispers in a language you don't understand.
02:19
Absolutely. How about not saying goodbye at the family party?
02:28
I'm not scared, but then when I see them again,
02:30
I'm like, You didn't say goodbye.
02:32
You left very early.
02:33
You didn't need that.
02:34
Then it gets a little scary and overwhelming.
02:36
It rolls over. Exactly.
02:38
They don't forget about it for years sometimes telling your abuela.
02:45
10 because she spent hours cooking and actually she was a very
02:50
good cook, which is lucky because what if your abuela is
02:53
horrible in the kitchen and then you have to eat that,
02:56
right? And the ritual mummification is obviously very extensive as we
03:00
see in the film and just all the research that goes into
03:02
trying to solve what the hell's going on,
03:04
right? Yeah, what happened to Katie?
03:05
Do you do any rituals that help you deliver a powerful performance
03:09
I try to be very relaxed,
03:10
not before the performance,
03:12
but I, I try to meditate and practice yoga.
03:15
And one of the things I do,
03:17
and that's a ritual is I always have my script with me
03:21
of course I have it off the book and I know it
03:23
like upside down, but it has to be in my back
03:26
and also it's, you know,
03:27
when you're doing a film like this everything is is very insane
03:30
even though it's very prepped and it's very precise.
03:33
The world itself is insane,
03:35
so you need to to be grounded you need to be relaxed
03:39
so you can really go and do.
03:40
What you have to do.
03:41
You have to lock in for that right mindset for sure.
03:45
