Thelma is the action/comedy film we've all been waiting for, and this interview was just as fun as watching the movie! Thelma is a 93 year-old grandmother who gets duped by a phone scammer and sets out on a quest through the streets of LA to reclaim what was taken from her.

Director Josh Margolin and the film's star, June Squibb, join us to explain how Josh's 103 year-old grandmother was the inspiration for the film, and that June was always his first choice for the lead. Then June shares her favorite stunts to perform, and the story behind her new nickname "stops-on-a-dime Squibb". We cap it off with some touching behind the scenes stories of their time working with Richard Roundtree.

Thelma opens in theaters on June 21! Get tickets here
