Karen Cliche on Ice Cream Man, Reuniting with Eli Roth & Her Creepiest Scene

from Pop Culture Unplugged w/ Elias · host Elias Giannakopoulos

Karen Cliche joins Elias on Pop Culture Unplugged to discuss playing Alison Mayfair in the new horror movie Ice Cream Man and reuniting with filmmaker Eli Roth following Thanksgiving. Karen shares how Eli casually offered her the role, the extensive improvisation behind their family scenes and what it was like having him serve as both her director and onscreen husband. She also discusses the film’s talented young cast, shooting the creepy ending in a real cemetery and why ice cream trucks have always made her uncomfortable. Plus, Karen compares Alison to her Thanksgiving character Kathleen, reveals her desire to do more comedy and previews her upcoming 1950s crime film alongside Vince Vaughn, Theo James and Patrick Schwarzenegger.   Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_Wvz7j-8uTs For more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content, subscribe to Pop Culture Unplugged w/ Elias on YouTube: Subscribe here Got a burning question or a topic suggestion?
