I have been posting how eloquent Steph is, since I first saw her; every interview she impresses me even more. Not only is she dazzling + entertaining, but she always radiates charisma, positive energy + just wholesomeness. I admire her real personality infinitely than the one of Joy/Jobu Tupaki. She has the most infectious laugh. It is uber refreshing to have a young Chinese-American actor that makes us over-the-moon proud. (Michelle always was the mature + sophisticated actor that is the gold standard.)

This is such a standout interview. Big ups to Brittany for being so open and curious, asking such insightful questions and laying down a welcoming environment. Stephanie makes me so proud, her work is so incredible and I cannot wait for the heights she's going to reach going forward.

Love the energy Brittany created, following up with thoughtful questions about Stephanie. This was lovely.

Stephanie is so real for mentioning clowning work. Some of the silliest, stupidest work you can do, but is so grounded in sincerity, being present and honestly opens yourself up for so much. Hooray theatre school!

Opening up yourself to be vulnerable is so scary but necessary and powerful

I JUST had a discussion with a friend how the absurdity of the film and its comedy completely disarms us and allows us to be even more emotional. So glad to hear Stephanie touch on this! What a great interview.

oh man now i’ve also been squished 😭 esp loved stephanie’s emphasis on moments of healing, nihilism leading to self compassion, and that last bit about giving yourself permission to dream (😭😭😭)… i feel like everything about EEAAO makes me cry but this just brought a whole new dimension to it lol. thanks so much for this incredible interview!

the color shouldn't work, but it really does. it doesn't wash her out

That was just an incredible interview, very insightful and not a lot of the typical media fluff. Excellent and thoughtful responses from the incomparable Stephanie Hsu, kudos to Brittany!

I love her last answer. She was like, "Look at this suit, my perfect role is obviously IN CHARGE!" 😍 This woman deserves every good thing that comes her way.

These two women…. What a treat. What a conversation.

Fantastic actress and an equally great interviewer

So happy for Stephanie. She deserves it. Her ability to portray the different characters in the movie with so much depth is truly amazing.

So refreshing for an interviewer to be this smart, organized and thoughtful. Stephanie looks so comfortable and at ease, and not ONE question or comment feels out of place.

Damn. I love this woman. Stephanie Hsu was a little bit overshadowed by the sheer success of the film while also very much contributing TO the success of it. It's so cool that she knows who she is and what she wants to do and be, while also being willing to be vulnerable. I simply cannot wait to see her in the next thing. Go, Stephanie. Excellent interviewer in Brittany also.

This was one of the best interviews I've ever listened to! Such raw and powerful insights from Stephanie. Love this

Also give one to Michelle.

As someone who doesn't leave comment, i feel the *need* to leave one here, just to say this is a really spectacular and high quality interview(or podcast talk wtv). I would say this has become my favourite interview of all time. This content is good and its from all direction. First, the host asked really good non-cliché and even technical question so smoothly that we got a more deep insight to both the artist AND the art. Plus it was done so SO smoothly to the level the interviewee let out many surprising new facts that has never been said, to the table, such as when stephanie talk about her previous clowning work(which she mention its a fact that she never talk to anyone about it). That just show how good she is. I also love how she also mention an intern's view on something that show inclusiveness on her part, then her intelligence really show through from her question and knowledge(you could watch her going on technical stuff, that you get she really did her research) that make it easier for stepahnie to talk about it, and also her humbleness really shine from the start. Second, from the artist direction, when stephanie talks, you can just really see how genuine, sincere and passionate she is about her art. Like a lot of comments here said, she is really articulate, which a joy to listen to, but also what shines to me the most from this interview is that we get to peek her core system as an artist and also as a person. Love it when she mention on what is taught to her from her past experience, shows that she is someone who took the lesson and carries it. And based on this interview alone, we got to know she really did contribute a lot to this movie(surprised that she said she felt she *maybe* contributed something after all during the audition tape talk). Also, love that she gave her answer delve deep and give it more that what the question is while slipping in light jokes. Also, i also felt through this interview, this podcast channel have a very good team which i said it earlier that its good from all direction. I really felt this should be the standard of interviews so a lot more actors can talk in depth about their movies AND themselves like this.

Yeayyy, OSCAR NOMINATED Stephanie Hsu 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

i wish she won that oscar - she is so talented!

All those years she turned down projects that didn't resonate with her deeply and to finally be a part of EEAAO and acted alongside those legends. just wow. I am so proud of her although I don't know her and I cannot wait to see more of her!

Every interview Stephanie Hsu gives - is always a revelation. She defies all labels, yet everything that has already been mentioned here is true of her. Her thoughtful sharing is something to be carefully listened to - and treasured. Thank you both.

She has insights that many older actors will never achieve.

PUT HER IN MORE STUFF she's so charismatic

Shouout to the host. I rarely enjoy hosts and she's fantastic. Stephanie Hsu deserves everything all at once. Her performance was amazing and she seems like a genuine soul.

I thought she was a teenager, this woman is 32 years old!!! Wow. Though she looks older in real life then in the movie.

I just wanted to say that this move made me cry about a pair of rocks. It was amazing

This interview is so beautiful 💕💕 I love when Stephanie Hsu said : "I had nothing to lose, I am here to show you my heart, take it or leave it , and I love you guys "

She's so eloquently talking about that intergenerational healing. I well up in tears too knowing that we can at least make a couple steps forward. It doesn't seem like much in the general scheme of life, but it still means a lot.

I didn't know Stephanie Hsu before this gorgeous movie and listening to this interview, I can say and admit that I am now a big fan of hers. Love listening to her articulate her feelings and past experiences which she described and expressed so intelligently and vividly. She's well-spoken and we love that with most actors. Thanks and can't wait to see her next movie or show.

I find myself scouring for Stephanie Hsu interviews, I know not why. Compelling storyteller, sincere to the core. Love her voice and that giggle to boot.

This was so beautiful and insightful. Stephanie is a powerhouse of a human and Brittany so effortlessly, yet intentionally, brought that out even more. Both ladies deserve the world.

Great interview. The host asked great questions and it felt like a genuine connection

Stephanie’s answers were so insightful and in-depth, and also, I’m really impressed with Brittany Luse’’s observations and questions. I definitely want to hear more of the interviews she conducts!

She was incredible and the actual supporting actress in the film with a substantial role.

Brittany is a great host, effortlessly directing the interview This was a pleasure to watch, love it when interviews get nerdy

Great interview - both the Stephanie and Brittany. They managed to reveal quite intimate, revelatory facets of life and art in a semi-formal setting. For a more informal setting, I highly recommend to the Las Culturistas podcast where Stephanie talks freely with her old pals - Matt and Bowen.

Thank you Brittany for researching thoroughly and therefore creating the space for an insightful and genuinely intriguing interview! Your questions were brilliant and allowed us viewers to better appreciate Stephanie's personality and worldview.

Give Brittany a raise, this was an excellent interview. Intellectual, human and compassionate, and some really thoughtful questions. Really really well done.

Wow this interview made me cry. Stephanie is beautiful, articulate and authentic. Well deserved recognition!

I adore her. Soooooo smart and talented. Watching her shift characters in a single shot, let along scene, is just chilling. Even brilliant in her interviews - all while looking THAT good. Looking forward to whatever she takes on next.

She has the best laugh I've ever heard. Can't wait to see her in so many more things.

I've never watched an interview that touch my heart so much. Yes, maybe nothing matters but let's figure out together.

I once laughed so hard in a movie that my husband had to tell me to be quiet. I turned around, and realized NO ONE was in the theatre but US. To our delight, we both just let it all out, throughout the entire movie…laughed, scream, and cried from my laughter. I had so much fun. The movie was Kung Fu Hustle.

I'm actually shocked this was only ~27 minutes. I swear, I feel like there was a 2 hour interview's worth of insight and information delivered in this conversation. Truly incredible interview.

i LOVE this woman. Stephanie Hsu is a gotdamn STAR

Amazing interview. It was such a pleasure listening to Stephanie talk about her experiences. Thank you to the host Brittany for doing so much research for the interview and coming fully prepared. Exceptional work.

This is such a great interview! I love hearing Stephanie's thought process and Brittany asked really amazing questions. The clowning bit especially really interested me 👀

We're so glad you enjoyed it! That part was fascinating. (For those interested, this was around 16:45 - The section on mixing wackiness and sincerity.)

Brittney is such an excellent host and does such an amazing job of guiding the interview, but not dominating it. And Stephanie, just wow. Such an incredible artist. The Oscar Nomination is so well deserved and I am so happy you are getting the recognition you deserve.

Stephanie is just a marvelous person. I can't wait to see what she has lined up for her future.

She’s so well spoken and intelligent

I just discovered that she's 32 years old,she looks phenomenal!

Her audition was divine

She's amazing. Just amazing.

I fully agree that this movie opened an avenue to heal generational trauma. I saw this movie in theaters with my mom after she requested that my brother and I go see it together. I struggle a lot with my mental health. I have good days and bad, but at times the weight of the world feels like too much to bear. I feel like I can’t talk about it with my family because I don’t have a solution to it. In these ways I relate heavily to Joy/Jobu. Even down to the alienation I feel from being gay and having a mother who doesn’t understand. It’s overwhelming at times. But during the scene where Joy/Jobu tries to escape into the bagel, my mom grabbed my hand. I feel like it articulated what she couldn’t with words. In that moment, I felt completely seen and loved by my mom. It was like she was saying she understood what I’ve been going through, and loves me regardless. It had a profound effect on me and I still can’t think about it without crying. I appreciate this movie so much for giving us the opportunity to communicate on a level we haven’t been able to before. This movie means so much to me in a way I can’t fully articulate, but I’m so glad it exists and want to thank everyone who helped make it happen.

I'm so glad that this movie meant so much to you and that it opened the door for some healing. I also was deeply touched by it in different ways, and I wonder just how many other people felt the same ❤

Soo much wisdom in this video. This is a requirement viewing after the movie.

Late to this wonderful interview but!! The first time I saw the movie, me and a friend were deciding on the way there whether to watch EEAAO or Bad Guys, and I jokingly pitched EEAAO as "well since it's from A24 I know we'll come out of that theater as Changed People™ lololol" and WOW am I so glad that we ended up watching that movie instead-I'm certain everyone in our decently-filled screening felt the same way. And because I was wearing a Hadestown shirt, we chatted beforehand with a fellow Theater Kid going to our same screening about how excited we were to see Stephanie because we knew she was fantastic on Broadway! All that to say, Stephanie was my favorite part of the movie, and I'm so excited to see all that she'll do next!!

Wow 😮what an intelligent, articulate, emotional and talented actress ❤

Love Stephanie. Loved the interview. And I'm feeling inspired to kegel up my own creativity muscles after watching that.

She is so smart and articulate, hope to see her in movies more and more

Put her in more movies! She was incredible in Be More Chill on Broadway, too.

Love her! She was amazing in EEAAO! She has an amazing carreer in front of her! She totally deserved the oscar and i am sure she will get one soon. ❤

I've been a fan of her's since the off-broadway production of Be More Chill, and I'm so glad she's getting so much attention!!!

Stephanie is such a wise, deep, intelligent young woman with equal zaniness and artistry. And great interviewer.

She gives me hope for the genre.

This is amazing - see that the goodness of EEAAO is welcome in human hearts and shows a clear (though not easy) path to being kind. The Daniels are an angels from God, I'm sure 🥰 Stephanie, you won my heart and I wish you win an Oscar too! ❤

I am sooo thrilled for Stephanie's success !!❤ I really like Stephanie Hsu, she's so kind and adorable! (and I am thankful that Aquwafina had schedule conflict so Stephanie Hsu can be in this movie 💕💕💕🎬🎼🥁) Both are adorable and courageous for sure! Shout out for all Asian women !

She's so awesome. My FAVORITE breakthrough actor of the year! Hope to see her in TONS of projects.

She deserved the Oscar so much 😔 I'm sure she'll win one day. So excited to follow her career from now on ❤️ This interview was amazing 💕

Had to pop out to watch the music video…and I’m back! Love this interview ❤️ Such a talent.

how smart they are!! so attractive

THIS CAST IS SO AMAZING! ALL OF THEM! IM IN LOVE

Stephanie is so freaking cool. I wanna see her in more things!

It's so wild that she got this after Awkwafina had a scheduling conflict. She brought so much depth of character to it and I can't imagine anyone else doing it.

Just such a fantastic interview. So happy the success and masterclass of this movie and its stars is being documented and celebrated so much.

thank you Stephanie. I watched the movie with my family and it was healing for us. I'm Taiwanese and my wife is jewish. The movie touched my soul.

This was such a great interview. I love watching Stephanie in interviews because she's so articulate, funny, intelligent, and authentic. But this interview was so insightful and thoughtful which showed Brittany's great ability as an interviewer. I loved watching this! I can't wait to see where Stephanie's career goes. I hope she can have better roles, main roles especially.

ugh i love her, i watched her audition last night and seeing this is just so inspiring.

Thank you Brittany for an amazing interview!

Amazing interview with an amazing interviewer with well-researched and heartfelt questions. This gave me a new appreciation for proper journalism. Thank you Brittany!

Ms. Hsu mentioned Mass MOCA. For those unfamiliar, that’s the Massachusetts Museum Of Contemporary Art. Great place, very cool that she mentioned it. Love her in Mrs. Maisel, loved EEAAO. I’d love to see her win the Oscar.
