We could never be strangers. I look in the mirror and see you, I'll always know you at least a little bit. What an unexpectedly happy development for the two of you, Jess! Seriously, she's a winner all-around and I totally see it for both of you. Whenever you do decide to go guns-a-blazing public, I'm sure the world's gonna be just as happy for you. I'm glad to hear your two are doing well, is that a weird conversation to have with them, if you've had it already? Because I dread the day I have to tell Theo and Bea (who are doing awesome, by the way!) that there's gonna be someone new hanging around all the time. Not that I'm anywhere in that headspace of seeing anyone, but you know what I mean.

Don't say it like that! You're making it seem like we're strangers, my heart can't take that. Okay good, as long as you think I'm still in the running that's all that matters. Please, interrogate away, all I've been doing lately is talking about her, I can't stop. Shit, Bryce. I'm so happy right now and who would have thought it would have been Emily who was the reason. We made things official recently, we haven't gone public with it, but we don't seem to be shy about telling people. The kids are doing great, I think they're thriving more now after the divorce than before. They're getting the best of both worlds. How are you though? How are Theo and Bea doing?

Hi again, Hemsworth. I have to say, we're getting closer and closer to the end of this trip - and closer and closer to Christmas - and I've yet to see you deliver on this cake thing. I'll step around your fun comment, because things can still be fun without gluten, I promise, and hope you haven't forgotten about my little, itty bitty request. Unless you're totally too cool for it. Which I doubt.

[studiohoward]

It's really stunning just how little people can follow directions, but when you do follow them from an expert chef like that, things come out amazing. Don't worry, we'll save the apples for those of us who can eat them and get you something even better for this time of year. Oh yeah, your girl! I've heard the murmurings about that one but wanna hear from the source how that all happened. Because you're two of the biggest stars this year, it's gotta be exciting for you two to be a thing. I've been great! Doing a lot of writing an directing, just had the Disney+ show I've been working on start a week or two ago. It's been premiere madness and I love every second of it, but can't wait to wind down with the kids and just celebrate the holidays right.

I saw that someone put breadcrumbs on theirs and then complaining that it didn't taste right. Of course it doesn't - you didn't follow the recipe. People are stupid. Don't go changing a good thing. I wish that I could eat apple pie because it always smells so good but the allergies don't allow me to. It's a sad time every year. I've been good - enjoying the time off now that I've done with tour. Taking care of myself and my girl. Making sure that she's relaxing too from her tour before we go back for the last three shows. How've you been my love?

[studiohoward]

Yeah, that one! And it seems like an amazing recipe, so when I try it for Thanksgiving, I'll let you know how big of a hit it is. Just wanted other suggestions so that It's not such a carby/cheesy heavy meal. Apple pie's a classic, so I might do some gluten-free version of that. I'll save the cheesecake for Christmas, just to spread the cheese wealth, so to speak. But I'd expect nothing less than desserts from you, sweetness! How've you been? Taking good care of yourself, I hope? Tell me everything.

Are you talking about the recipe that Tini made? Because that shit slaps. It's so fucking good - I don't think I'd ever get tired of eating it. I would say that my forte is more in desserts. I am quite partial to making a real good cheesecake, or lemon méringue pie. For Thanksgiving - maybe an apple one. That's all I've got.

[studiohoward]

Actually, the cheese route is the road I'd like to travel less this holiday season - I haven't stocked up on nearly enough Lactaid to get through a cheesefest of a meal, and I think my kids would be both over the moon and really mortified. I do like your idea, though! Reminds me of something I'd see in the South all the time. Right now, I don't have a whole lot of ideas, that's why I was scouting for something unique. But hey, maybe it's just a cheesy year for you and I can't be mad about that.

If you want to go with the cheese route my favorite thing is a cheeseball. It's like a spread you use on Ritz Crackers and it's like the best think I've ever tasted. I mean it's one of the best things I've ever tasted. I'm not really a cook, but what do you have in mind to make this year?

[studiohoward]

Absolutely agree with you there, Oscar. I don't even think it's about remembering though, people don't even know or bother to read to find out the truth. It's a little unsettling. Don't worry, your role as the Doctor is going to be very well-known in my house, I'm making sure that the kids don't miscast you. Oh, the math is impossible. And when I try to help with it, because I learned differently, they still get marked wrong when not done right. I'm telling you, parenting isn't for the faint of heart. Definitely am guilty of that - I try my best in my head, you know? Doesn't always pan out, but I get the laughs in at the reads and then I get as red as my hair. No! You're not invited if you're gonna join the giggle fest. Next Star Wars project I work on, if Poe's there and I need you, then I'm gonna have to work on my pronunciation before you get there. She can be your fave, I'll gladly be second fave if it means coming in second to her. I'm doing great! Keeping busy with work, Skeleton Crew's coming out right between the holidays so I've had to do a lot of interviews for that. It's a busy time of year professionally and personally, I'm sure you understand!

I think as a society, we've let Mary Shelley down. She poured her heart and soul into this story and people can't even remember that Frankenstein is the Doctor. I do think they should bring the classics back to schools. They are classics for a reason and most of them are good reads. The books they read might be getting easier, but the math is just getting worse. I'm seeing sums on my boy's homework that doesn't even look like it makes sense. Are you also someone who tends to skip over difficult names when reading a book? It's always amusing to ask them what the book is about when they have no idea how half the names are pronounced. Now I want to see in on one of these table reads, just to hear you pronounce words wrong. I think Jessica would have my head if I called anyone else my favourite redhead, but who says I can't have multiple? It's definitely been a while, I'm doing good, what about yourself?

[studiohoward]

Jess Chastain, as I live and breathe! Oh, my goodness, I could never let you win worst friend ever. That's not even a category I'm willing to humor, because you always sweep in the 'best friend' category instead. So nice to know that you're keeping busy, and keeping busy with someone that it sounds like I'm going to have to interrogate you about, perhaps? Tell me everything, starting with that, but also tell me about how the kiddos are doing!

With award season just around the corner if there's a category for the worst friend ever, I think I've got that one in the bag. I'm sorry that I've fallen off the face of the Earth over the last couple of weeks. Life has been crazy and by crazy I mean, I've been spending as much time with Emily as I can. Then when I'm not with her, I'm either working or with the kids. Please forgive me baby! I'll make it up to you with a girls night in, just us, and we can catch up. // @studiohoward

The recipes come up sporadically between the mindless scrolling, so you're not wrong. A lot of things, Chris, Thanksgiving can't just be mac and cheese. But thank you for confirming that the way to a man's heart is through the stomach, I always thought that was a bit of a wives' tale. You wanna make me a cake? On an infamously-known-for-pie holiday? Sweet gesture, Hemsworth, feels like it would be kinda cruel to say no to you. Can you make it gluten-free while you're at it?

I always just thought TikTok was for mindless scrolling, but it seems like it has it's uses. Mac and cheese is great though, what else could you possibly want? Somebody could give me just a large bowl of that and I'd be happy. Maybe not fully happy, but close. I'm probably the last person you want recipe ideas from. My level of cooking is throwing it on a tray and putting it in the oven for twenty minutes. I can make a mean cake though, I've made my fair share of birthday cakes in my time. So, while it might not be what you're looking for, I can bake you a cake.

[studiohoward]

It's that time of year, everybody - the time when everyone is on the internet scouring for recipes for holiday gatherings. I say this as someone who just spent an hour scrolling through TikTok for ideas, and all I can find is that viral mac and cheese recipe. Which is great, don't get me wrong! But I need a little bit more to work with than that. Do you know a great recipe for something other than that that I need to try either for Thanksgiving or Christmas? I think I've got cheese and noodles covered. // @studiocitystarters

Hey, I think that just goes to show how little we, as a society, know about Frankenstein. I don't even think it's required reading anymore. You should see the things Bea has to read for English class, I'm pretty sure half of them are graphic novels. As for me, I'm really big on reading a word and having a way to pronounce it in my head that is just completely wrong. I get a lot of laughs at table reads, even as a director, for not knowing how to speak. It's so fun. Know I'm not your favorite redhead or anything, but hi, Oscar. Long time no see, how've you been?

It wasn't until I started working on Frankenstein that I truly realised how many people mistake him for the monster. At this point I've lost count on every time someone thought I was playing the monster when I say I'm Frankenstein. As if I could ever do him any justice, Jacob has done an amazing job. Maybe I should start saying I'm the Doctor instead, but then that would just create a whole different type of confusion. Have you ever gone your whole life believing one thing, only to realise as an adult that it was completely wrong? // @studiocitystarters
