We were joined on the Popternative show by Vanessa Carrasco who can be seen playing Ariana in the new Netflix film, Family Switch, which premiered November 30th on the streaming platform. Starring Jennifer Garner (The Adam Project), Ed Helms (Vacation), Emma Myers (Wednesday), and Brady Noon (Good Boys), the film is a family holiday take on the body-swap trope we’ve seen in films like Freaky Friday.
Family Switch follows Jess (Gardner) and Bill Walker (Helms) who are doing their best to keep their family connected as their children grow older, more independent, and more distant. When a chance encounter with an astrological reader causes the family to wake up to a full body switch on the morning of the most important day of each of their lives, the Walkers must unite to land a promotion, college interview, a record deal and soccer tryout. Ariana is a classmate and long-time crush of Wyatt (Noon), but his shyness has prevented him from ever telling her.
In our interview, Vanessa talks about auditioning for Family Switch, working with Brady Noon and Ed Helms on specific scenes, some of her learning experiences on set, and filming the concert scene featuring Weezer.
Watch the full conversation with Vanessa below.
Family Switch is streaming on Netflix.
