okay so our next guest has a knack for playing complex characters her very impressive body of work includes starring roles on Tyrant the award-winning series The Americans and The Walking Dead World Beyond well this forever booked and busy beauty also has added another project to her resume and this one has her and the entire family living off the grid check it out okay then this is a school what is Miss cabin can be a school you can be whatever you want it to be really Mary likes it if you coul
d learn about anything what would it be I like history then we'll learn history well I want to learn about the movie and about Annette so joining us to school us about her new film manifest West is the lovely The Talented the out of this world Miss Anan Mahendra [Music] you're making me blush no stop no you're I'm so happy you're here like I thought it was gonna be a happy Friday but this is the happiest I love it thank you because when people like you show up I was like maybe her Talent will ru
b off on me some way somehow it better well it's happening mutually no I take from you you take from me I don't know well whatever you get don't blame me for whatever it is you get that you can't use but let's talk about this movie manifest Quest so from what we see there this family I see you homeschooling your daughter in the clip so why are they moving out there and I feel like it looks like it's just normal but I feel chaos is about to ensue that's right they some things didn't work out and
they're cookie cutter life and for for good reasons because it made them want to look within themselves so they decided to move off the grid but they took their problems with them so the American dream turns out is not for everybody and instead they end up in a U.S government standoff uh so much for a history lesson there right okay so so here's the deal here's what I love about this film because it's we see it's a family situation on screen but off screen it's also family affair because you hav
e relatives working with you oh my goodness it's really married to somebody so the my husband who co-wrote and co-directed it with his long-term partnership deach and then my husband's brother plays my husband and they're like uh husbands also in their partnership you know writing for the last 10 years and making movies so everyone's related my sister is in the movie as well the wonderful Angelina Jolie Mahendra uh so it's been very supportive my I play Alice Hayes she's um former public school
teacher who is a really fun-loving mother who suffers from mental illness so it's been really wonderful to have two husbands on set to just support me too right because you have your family there with you so you're here you're playing this character on here which I'm sure people are gonna get to love because whatever it is you do people get attached to the characters you play whether it's on the Americans or The Walking Dead and it's just incredible so what so how how do fans react to you becaus
e I told you I know you're from the romanovs I remember you I've said the romanovs everyone has something some of my state fathers too we just never know so which which of them has like the craziest most die-hard fans who think your character should be doing something she's not or has something to say about the roles you play I'd say The Walking Dead they really you know Hawk was uh something and I was really sad to see her go spoiler I think everyone's caught up those fans yeah they watched it
already and funny enough no one spoiled the Americans for me yet see because people are because people can be good yeah just don't go online just don't go online because some of them might spoil it tell myself but but they've been so kind to me okay so speaking of speaking of the Americans The Walking Dead your recent movie which is why you're here manifest West has You Off the Grid we saw you homeschooling your kid in that clip you so which means of the grid meaning no outside world situation s
o if I say I said to you Annette let's go off the grid we'll have no phone no television no electricity um which one would you be able to give up the phone I'm dying to give up my phone I want to go back to the flip phone but yeah as long as you need Maps I need Maps I can't get anywhere without maps and we would if we did how do you do that with a flip phone you know if we did anything together because I am the worst at math I have no sense of direction yeah so if we if we so we need our phones
what TV we need because I know I need TV just to watch you on your shows and your movies and everything that's right we're on VOD today and in theater so check out manifest West all right so so head on out go check it out her movie manifest West is in theaters today it's also available on digital platforms like she said she's now my family member so my family is your family our family so and we're driving together into the mountains yes we are yes we are with no phones I'll go get flip phones n
