Personality, episode by episode

The Big Picture: The Top 10 Fantasy Films, The Toy Movie Hall of Fame, and ‘Masters of the Universe,’ with Griffin Newman! (guest)

Loves 70s-style romance crime like True Romance and Bonnie and Clyde, and fell for the adventure of Pirates of the Caribbean as a kid. She values chemistry she believes can't be faked, and is a sucker for epics like Reds.

Stances

  • Chemistry can't be faked or manufactured
  • Prefers saying yes only to absolute yeses

Humor: Cheerfully frank about being bad on Home and Away and about almost committing a con at a gas station (that's Rehmeier; she mugs about makeup freckles).

In their words

  • “Like you can go rob a bank and everyone will be like, good on you.” (2:10:43)
  • “I think chemistry reads and chemistry tests are so important because I really don't think you can fake chemistry.” (2:02:52)

Their fun items

Showing 1–2 of 2 fun items.

  1. fun, about Pirates of the Caribbean: Seeing the first Pirates at age 12, Weaving blacked out with wonder and left furious at not being part of it, then asked her dad how to do make-believe for a living.
    “how dare they make this without who?”

  2. fun, about Reds: Weaving watched Reds for the first time in a theater built under her house, and loved the final train sequence.
