Season 4, Episode 16: Interview with DeWanda Wise (Jessica) from Blumhouse’s “Imaginary” (2024)

What a fantastic interview! DeWanda Wise is such an incredible and talented actress, I believe that her role as “Jessica” is definitely Oscar worthy. DeWanda explains that she is a force not to be reckoned with while protecting her sweet and innocent daughter, Alice played by Pyper Braun. What have learned? Once you take someone or something you love, you have opened Pandora’s box. She also gave her perspective about the ‘Never Ever’ on a more personal level and I could not agree with her more, specifically the mind-bending psychological aspect of the film. She compares Imaginary with A Nightmare on Elm Street in which I found interesting and fascinating because of the similarities of the two movies and how there is an entity that chases you and to hurt you along with your loved ones. Great comparison in my opinion! If there is a sequel to the film, I hope the writers and directors bring back DeWanda, Pyper, and Taegen as the main characters and I bet it will be a lot better than the first. Make sure to follow DeWanda on Instagram and catch her in the upcoming film, “Poolman” directed by Chris Pine.
