Ep 83: Christina Ricci

I can’t believe I am even saying this, but today we are joined by a true icon, Christina Ricci!  Since she was scouted at the age of seven, Christina has gone on to star in Mermaids, Sleepy Hollow, Monster and amongst so many other roles, she of course played the iconic Wednesday Adams in the Addams Family movies.  And, just last year Christina returned to the world of Wednesday to play a new character, Marilyn Thornhill in the hit Netflix remake We talk about that and my favourite TV show, Yellowjackets. If you haven’t watched it yet (it’s on Paramount+ in the UK) it tells the story of a team of high school footballers who survive a plane crash.Christina plays the psychopath, Misty Quigley whilst starring alongside fellow icons Julliette Lewis, Melanie Lynskey and now in season two, Elijah Wood. Christina’s performance is getting her major Emmy Award buzz, too and it’s not hard to see why.  Apart from deep diving into Yellowjacket’s many plot twists, we also talk about dealing with rejection and ageism in the entertainment industry, but one of the things I also love about Christina is that she isn’t about being likable and people pleasing for the sake of it. So, I hope you are inspired by her refreshing outlook too and maybe just avoid Christina at an airport if you ever see her, because as you will find out she means BUSINESS.  If you love the episode, get in touch with me on socials @joshsmithhosts - I love hearing from you - and don’t forget to like, subscribe or follow wherever you are listening so you don’t miss the other epic guests coming soon.
