Collider Ladies Night & Collider Forces

Karolina Wydra and Rhea Seehorn are electric together as Zosia and Carol in Apple TV’s Pluribus. You can’t help but get swept up in their connection, especially in the tail end of Episode 9, “La Chica o El Mundo,” when the two go on the ultimate globe-trotting excursion together. Zosia presents herself as the perfect partner and Carol seems happier than ever. But, then Carol is forced to reengage with the reality of her situation during their conversation in their luxurious ski lodge. Zosia isn’t just Zosia. She’s The Joined, and The Joined’s mission hasn’t changed. They want Carol to be one of them, and by the end of Season 1 of Pluribus, it’s revealed that that could happen whether Carol agrees to it or not.

During their conversation, Zosia confirms that they require Carol’s stem cells to complete The Joining. But then Carol asks, “If I don’t expressly give you my consent to jam a giant needle in my ass, then you can’t take them and I stay me, right?” When Zosia replies, “That would be correct,” Carol instantly picks up on the fact that something’s changed. The Joined have discovered that they can get Carol’s stem cells via her frozen eggs. In fact, they’re already working on it, and should the process prove successful, they’ll be able to make Carol Join without her consent. Carol pleads, “If you loved me, you wouldn’t do this,” to which Zosia replies, “Please understand, we have to do this because we love you.”

While on Collider Ladies Night, Wydra took a moment to discuss tackling that scene with Seehorn, and to explain how she approached playing the collision of wanting to make Carol happy, with The Joining being of the utmost importance to them.

A mere year later, Samara Weaving is back on Collider Ladies Night. After many conversations in different interview formats, Weaving made her Ladies Night debut for the release of the wonderfully twisted comedy thriller Borderline in March 2025. In most cases, an actor would be lucky to dish out a film or two by the next year, but not Weaving. In just the last three months, she headlined three different movies. Even better? Every single one of them is fantastic.

On March 20, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come hit theaters nationwide. Given the fact that the Ready or Not fanbase had been eagerly awaiting a sequel for seven years, the pressure was sky-high for it to deliver, and it did. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett far exceeded expectations with the new film. Soon after that, it was Jorma Taccone’s remake of The Trip, Over Your Dead Body. Again, the pressure was on. The Trip came out a mere five years ago. Why do an American remake so soon? Like Ready or Not 2, the Over Your Dead Body team pulled it off. Taccone, Weaving, Jason Segel and the rest of the team managed to light up the screen with an edge-of-your seat genre bender that holds tight to its source material while giving it just enough of a fresh flavor to well justify another go-around with the story.

A little over a month after Over Your Dead Body hit theaters, Weaving is giving us yet another gem — Carolina Caroline.

From writer William Thomas Dean IV and director Adam Carter Rehmeier, Carolina Caroline stars Weaving as the title character. Caroline works as a gas station attendant in a small Texas town, but is itching for more. When she spots Kyle Gallner’s Oliver pulling a clever con on her boss, sparks fly. Caroline packs up and hits the road with Oliver, learning everything she can about pulling off lucrative scams. With each success, their crimes get bigger, making it more and more difficult to keep clear of the authorities.

With Carolina Caroline now playing in select theaters, Weaving returned to Collider Ladies Night to discuss her experience making the film, and to explain why this particular chapter of her career feels different.

If you’re looking at a “shows canceled too soon” list, there’s a good chance Netflix’s GLOW is on it. The Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch-created series first debuted on Netflix in 2017, and quickly had viewers falling in love with its electric ensemble packed with a wide array of big personalities.

Alison Brie’s Ruth Wilder is a struggling actor who scores a rather unusual opportunity. In 1985, Ruth is cast in the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. It's a show that's the first of its kind — a wrestling television show featuring all female wrestlers. Ruth and the rest of the cast, including Betty Gilpin’s Debbie, Gayle Rankin’s Sheila, Jackie Tohn’s Melrose, and Sydelle Noel’s Cherry, take their underdog wrestling production on an epic roller coaster ride that lands them in Las Vegas, performing GLOW matches live. Season 3 ends with a glimmer of hope for getting GLOW back on television, but we never got to see if Debbie and Bash’s (Chris Lowell) plan panned out because Netflix canceled GLOW in October 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, despite having renewed it for a fourth and final season.

Not only are fans still thinking about GLOW seven years after it wrapped its run, but so are the show’s stars, like Alison Brie. While on the press circuit promoting her new movie, Masters of the Universe, Brie carved out the time to make her second appearance on Collider Ladies Night, and while discussing scene partners who made an indelible impression on her, she was moved to tears recalling her collaboration with GLOW co-star, Betty Gilpin.

Hazbin Hotel was recently renewed for its fifth season, and with that renewal announcement came the news that Season 5 would be its last. It’s a little sad to know the beloved animated musical is making its way toward a firm conclusion, but not only is that conclusion likely a number of years away, but Hazbin Hotel has made such an indelible impression on pop culture that the series could have a strong presence for quite some time, well beyond its active run.

Soon after the Season 5 news was unveiled, Erika Henningsen dropped by the Collider Ladies Night studio to discuss The Four Seasons Season 2 on Netflix. While chatting about her experience making that show with Tina Fey, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver and more, she took a moment to share her thoughts on finding out that her run voicing Charlie Morningstar on Hazbin Hotel would come to an end.

Havana Rose Liu sits down with Perri Nemiroff for an in-depth conversation on Collider Ladies Night to discuss her riveting role as Ruthie in Daniel Roher's new crime-thriller, Tuner, also starring Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman. She also opens up about taking a massive leap into the blockbuster realm with Alex Garland’s highly anticipated A24 live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring.

In this 56-minute deep dive, Havana tracks her unique career trajectory, from being street-cast in New York's Washington Square Park to the life-changing, culture-shifting impact of her breakout ensemble role in the queer comedy hit Bottoms.

Plus, she breaks down her immersive preparation for Tuner, detailing how she built an emotional and physical relationship with the piano to find her character, what it was like collaborating with co-star Leo Woodall despite their opposite prep styles, and why her upcoming blockbusters under the A24 banner feel like the perfect next step for her creative journey.
