Summary

This week, Tommy is joined by actress and singer Meg Donnelly who has played the fan-favorite character of Addison in the last four Zombies movies. Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires has been one of the biggest movies of the summer! You may also know and love Meg from her role in another beloved series, American Housewife, or maybe you’ve been streaming her debut EP, “dying art,” which is a deeply personal portrait of finding your way in a fast-changing world. Today, Meg opens up about what the Zombies franchise has meant to her, the most challenging part of filming those films, if she is happy with how Zombies 4 ended, if she shot any of the alternate endings, if she really feels like this is the end of the Zombies franchise for her, the moment that made her emotional when filming this last movie, why she felt protective of Freya and Malachi, what she hoped to achieve with her debut EP, the most personal thing she opened up about for the first time, the song she was most nervous to put out, if she is getting more comfortable not playing it as safe anymore, how she battles with imposter syndrome, the thing that freaks her out in the kitchen, and so much more.
