Nicki Minaj on the industry:

‘They want to stake their claim into human beings like their property.' She’s pulling back the curtain on how toxic things really get behind the scenes.

Nicki Minaj: I started realizing people in this industry are just... really vindictive. It hit me that if you aren't making money with the 'right' people, they don't want you to make money at all.

That’s when it really sank in…like, 'Oh my gosh, what did I actually sign up for?' It felt like everyone wanted to stake their claim on human beings, treating us like we were just property. It was wild."

How do you put The Punisher in a Spider-Man movie without changing him? Tom Holland explains the genius (and hilarious) way they handled the language barrier on set.

Interviewer: I want to talk about the Punisher. He just gets like...

Tom Holland: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get up. I’m so excited for people to see Jon Bernthal in this film. There's no secret that I absolutely adore him as a person. I've known him since I was a kid. I know his family really well. You know, I knew his kids when they were, you know, really, really little. And we did each other's audition tapes to get Spider-Man and The Punisher back when I was 17, I think.
So for us to get to share the set and to portray these characters, you know, on the biggest stage is such an awesome kind of full-circle moment for the pair of us. And one of the things I love about Destin, our director, is that he is so open to improvising, collaborating, you know, taking big risks and stuff like that. And he really allowed Jon and I to just kind of run with it.
And what was on the page was the kernel of an idea that turned into this, like, awesome big brother/little brother bickering relationship. Like the banter between the two of us is really, really awesome. And he's so great, and I love trying to figure out how you take a very R-rated character and fit him into our world without changing him.
Interviewer: Mhm.

Tom Holland: And there's loads of fun little Spider-Man quips that we use to kind of get around. Like, every time he goes to swear, we just web his mouth.
Interviewer: Oh, so he's like the new language?

Tom Holland: Yes, exactly! That's adorable. But I think people are going to love Jon in this film. I think when he's on screen, it just…he sets such a great tone.

Tori Kelly says she got her name from a Japanese anime

Tori: "Fun fact, my name actually means 'bird' in Japanese."

Zach: "No way, how did you find that out?"

Tori: "I was in the kitchen while my husband was watching anime…in Japanese with subs, obviously, because we're purists…and I kept hearing 'Tori, Tori.' I finally looked it up, and sure enough, the kanji for my name literally means 'bird.'"

Zach: "That’s wild. Does it feel like a sign?"

Tori: "It honestly blew my mind. There’s been so much bird symbolism throughout my entire career, plus my logo is based on a Bible verse about God covering you with feathers. When I realized the name was connected to all of that, I was like, 'Okay, this is meant to be.' It’s honestly so tattooable…but maybe it’s a little weird to tattoo your own name, right?"

Zach: "Maybe not if it's just the symbol for a bird!"

Rowan Jacobsen reveals what happened when he challenged the American Academy of Dermatology’s stance on sun exposure.

Joe: Were any dermatologists saying, "Hey, this is dangerous information"? Like, you shouldn't be saying this.

Rowan: Oh, hell yeah. I've been denounced multiple times by the American Academy of Dermatology. I mean, they send an official letter every time I write an article, and their stance is just flat: "Nobody should be getting any sun exposure."

Joe: Really? Like, regardless of all the benefits? The Vitamin D, everything?
Rowan: Exactly. They say no sun exposure at all without full protection…either sunscreen or clothing. And if you ask, "Well, what about Vitamin D deficiency?" they just say, "Oh, just take a pill."

Joe: Wow.

Rowan: And that’s the part that really needs to change. Because, honestly, those pills haven't panned out in the clinical tests. They just don't work the same way natural D does.

Joe: That’s wild. So, what do you mean they don't work? Like, people have been taking Vitamin D supplements for decades, right?

Rowan: Right, and it's probably the number one supplement in the world. But back in the 80s and 90s, scientists started noticing that people who naturally had higher levels of Vitamin D in their blood…usually from being outside…had lower rates of all those classic chronic diseases. So, the thinking was, "Okay, Vitamin D is the magic bullet." But when they did the huge clinical trials…tens of thousands of people, following them for years…none of them showed a benefit. No improvement in immune response, no reduction in those conditions.

Joe: So, the supplement doesn't actually replicate the health benefits of the sun?
Rowan: Exactly. That’s the disconnect. It’s like, we see the correlation with high natural levels, but when you try to force it with a pill, the magic just isn't there.

“We did all the performance the first two weeks of shooting”

For Jaafar Jackson, seeing himself in the makeup chair for the first time as a surreal and spiritual experience.

When asked by Jimmy Fallon about the moment he first saw himself fully transformed, Jaafar shared:

Jimmy Fallon: "Do you look in the mirror and go, 'What's going on?' Or did you go, 'This is surreal. This is my uncle. This is crazy.'"

Jaafar Jackson: "Oh, 100%. Absolutely. It was…it was really a surreal…a spiritual moment at the same time. You know, spending all those hours in the makeup chair. And thanks to the incredible Bill Corso, who's the head of makeup on the film, just that process of seeing me slowly transform into Michael was…it was emotional."
