Show transcript
00:00
This is the first time you've ever willingly returned to a school
00:06
How does it feel?
00:07
Like returning to the scene of the crime.
00:09
I already know where the bodies are buried.
00:11
In honor of Wednesday's return,
00:13
we wanted to go back to season one and read some of
00:16
our favorite lines in English and in espanol in Spanish,
00:21
and you guys can decide which version of this line feels more
00:25
killer to execute. Are you guys down to play our game
00:27
It's OK. I hear you.
00:30
Sure, sure. Let's try.
00:31
Jenna, this first line.
00:33
would be for you.
00:37
I must say so.
00:38
Perfect. Yeah, there's a bit more of a punch I
00:40
would say in Spanish,
00:41
so maybe that one.
00:42
Yeah. Birthday, yes.
00:44
Happy never. Oh my word,
00:46
how do you say the first word?
00:48
Coosae Gracias. Well this one is easier for you.
00:58
I'm dying. Perfect.
00:59
OK, fluent. Luis,
00:59
this is for you.
01:00
OK, here we go,
01:00
we hug. Oh,
01:00
this is a good one.
01:00
How do you say this?
01:00
No no no so you should just say it.
01:22
No abrasamos. It has to be the the Spanish.
01:29
It's got some real resonance and momentum.
01:33
I like the Spanish.
01:34
you guys challenge us a little more.
01:37
Got to be more challenging.
01:38
OK, OK, you got this one.
01:41
I prefer to be vilified.
01:53
Previll. See, I,
01:54
I can't. Spanish always sounds so lovely.
02:00
Very eggy hole. Yeah,
02:01
I, I just,
02:02
I, I, I can't say it very nice,
02:04
so. I don't bury hatchets.
02:07
I sharpen them. OK.
02:09
You know the. Laslo.
02:13
Oh, that one felt more threatening.
02:15
I don't know. OK,
02:16
just be careful. And then both of you can give this
02:19
one a try together.
02:20
Every, the whole cast has done this one together.
02:22
I dance dance dance with my hands,
02:24
hands hands. Oh boy,
02:26
oh boy. Perfect.
02:37
Wow, you got me dancing and everything.
02:37
OK, so the interview's over.
02:37
Come on, guys.
02:37
I'm just kidding. Wednesday,
02:54
Adams, it is an honor to meet the savior if never
02:57
more. Can I get your autograph?
02:59
I only signed my name in blood.
03:01
But nothing less. I never said it was my own blood
03:05
Jenna, you get to bring another Latina on screen as
03:08
a Gomes to life in Wednesday season two,
03:11
and in real life you are a Boricua Mexicana.
03:13
Why is it important for you,
03:15
especially in 2025, to keep bringing on Latina characters to life
03:19
Yes, of course,
03:21
I guess,
03:21
you know,
03:22
with someone like Wednesday it was more important because she is such
03:27
A well known and well recognized character that it was
03:29
great to see someone,
03:31
you know, even a recognizable silhouette,
03:33
you know,
03:34
have Latin heritage and that be represented throughout the show,
03:37
but I guess inherently anything I do will,
03:40
you know,
03:41
be. She'll be Latina and you know that that's always something
03:45
to be proud of you know I I would hope that you
03:48
know young Latinas who maybe are interested in the arts and field
03:52
are able to watch these projects and things and see themselves and
03:57
you know be encouraged to do the same and and pursue
03:59
their their passions. And Perhaps I can help you take your
04:09
mind off your mother.
04:16
Luis Gomez calls Wednesday in season one pekenya Tormenta.
04:21
I'm curious, growing up,
04:22
did you have any nicknames like that in Spanish?
04:25
Yeah, my mom used to call me the Alito.
04:28
I don't know why.
04:29
I'm queriablito, diablito dene.
04:33
It's like it made me feel really special.
04:36
Were you well behaved as a little one?
04:38
OK, I gotta plead the fifth.
04:41
I'm pleading the 5th.
04:42
My mom used to call me the Alito,
04:45
and me abuelita used to call me Candela.
04:49
Candeladiablito. Those are some bold word choices.
04:53
No outcast should be limited or shamed.
04:57
Is that why you're asking me?
04:59
Because I'm a siren.
05:00
Using your powers of persuasion for a good cause should be applauded
05:05
Joy, if you had Bianca's styrene powers in real life
05:09
what's the first thing you would do?
05:11
Well, I've had various answers.
05:12
People have asked me this question.
05:14
I've gone from going shopping and getting whatever I want to fixing
05:18
all, you know,
05:19
figuring out world peace finally,
05:22
since the hundreds of thousands of people have had the
05:24
opportunity, can't seem to,
05:26
so I must take a siren.
05:27
Yeah, probably that second.
05:32
One day Adams is here.
05:34
It's Adams with two Ds,
05:36
like padded room.
