Elizabeth Banks was on Marc Maron's WTF Podcast back in 2022 where the conversation (held on Halloween) skewed into Halloween favs. Transcription below. LISTEN HERE, the convo starts around ~
Elizabeth Banks: "Today's Halloween. Happy Halloween to those who celebrate."
Marc Maron: "Now, what did you carve?"
EB: "We sure did, we carved."
MM: "You did?"
EB: "Yeah, actually I have a fat lip from, I was putting a stencil on the pumpkin and I went to rip a piece of tape with my mouth and the tape stuck on my, the tape stuck on my and ripped part of my lip off."
MM: "Oh my God."
EB: "Yeah, those are the little things that can happen."
MM: "Pumpkin stencils?"
EB: "Pumpkin stencils, yeah. So you can make it look real pro on the pumpkin with the stencil."
MM: "Oh yeah? But do you cut the..."
EB: "Yeah, then you use the stencil as like an outline and then you cut?"
MM: "All the way through?"
EB: "Yes, all the way through. What does that mean? You're carving the pumpkin, of course."
MM: "No, I know, but like I see some pretty pro jobs and they look like there's some, it's like partial way through and then all the way through and then..."
EB: "Oh, you mean, yes, because you can like shadow and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No. that's cool. Yeah. I'm not that level."
MM: "Yeah?"
EB: "No."
MM: "I got two pumpkins sitting out there. I don't know what the fuck I'm getting. I'm like, I thought I was gonna carve them, but now I'm just sort of like, they get the idea."
EB: "Right, it's the pumpkins."
MM: "I just want them to know I have candy."
EB: "I do like that they glow. And it's something to do with the kids. My kids love it."
MM: "Yeah. Because like they come around here. Did you see you across the street?"
EB: "Oh, your neighborhood's excellent."
\
MM: "It's crazy."
EB: "LA is, this is the biggest holiday in LA. I tell people this all over. Because we have all the best, you know, it's all the production designers."
MM: "And the hair and makeup people."
EB: "The biggest gig of his year."
MM: "They've got things, you know, in the basement that none of us can dream of.
And they just bring it all out and put it up."
EB: "Yeah, and they know how to do it all right. You know, light it, all the lighting design."
MM: "The guy across the street's got, every year it's a theme. Like last year it was an operating room with skeletons. And this year there's a tent, it's a camping theme."
EB: "Of course. This is why I mean, people put so much energy into it here. It's really amazing and excellent."
MM: "They've been out of work for a while."
EB: "I don't even think it's that. I think they've really, well the neighborhood starts to come to expect it too, don't you think? Like wouldn't you be pissed if that guy didn't put something up?"
MM: "Sure, my old neighborhood, there was two, it was not, but it definitely wasn't a Hollywood undertaking. But there was two, there was two houses next to each that were clearly competing during Christmas and Halloween. It was just this shit show stuff. Lights and ghouls."
EB: "It brings me joy."
MM: "What kind of candies did you buy?"
EB: "I don't buy chocolate because in LA, it's actually hot and things melt."
MM: "Interesting."
EB: "Yeah, so I got some dots. I got some Skittles, a lot of Skittles. I like a Skittle.
You do? Yeah, Tootsie Rolls, Dum Dums. I love those lollipops."
MM: "Okay, pretty good."
EB: "Things like that. That's what I got."
MM: "I got--I went all chocolate, but now I'm but now I'm nervous."
EB: "Well..."
MM: "I went Reese's, Twix, Kit Kat, Snickers."
EB: "Can't get enough."
MM: "The best ones."
EB: "You gotta go watch that nut allergy, though, with those Snickers."
MM: "Well, they know it's not on me."
EB: "I don't do, I don't deal with nut allergy very well, either."
MM: "What do you mean?"
EB: "I mean, I'm just like, come on, really?"
MM: "Yeah, are you gonna like trick or treat? Do you have any allergies?"
EB: "Exactly."
MM: "All right, good talking to you again."
EB: "Oh, you're the best. We barely touched on anything, I feel."
MM: "What are you talking about?"
EB: "I don't know."
