Passionflix’s latest book-to-screen adaptation, Wallbanger, will soon hit the popular Romance streaming service. Fangirlish had the opportunity to sit down and chat with the film’s stars and Passionflix founder and Director Tosca Musk. We’re so grateful they were able to join us virtually from Puerto Rico during Passioncon, their annual all-inclusive girls’ weekend, where the premiere for Wallbanger was held.
First, we sat down with Cathy Ang, who plays Mimi, one of Caroline’s besties. Ang is an absolute sweetheart, and she made us feel like we could be her bestie. We spoke to her about what drew her to Wallbanger and the character Mimi.
“First of all, I didn’t really know a lot about Passionflix coming into it. But when I learned more about you know like what they’re doing, bringing Romance fans together and also really celebrating that genre in a way where I feel like you know, there’s a little bit of like shame around some of the love that we have for both like women needing sexual pleasure and then also just wanting to immerse themselves in these kinds of stories. And so, I got very excited about that actually when I was just reading into the company. And then, you know, like Wallbanger, I read a little bit of the book, and it’s just immediately hilarious so, like, it was very easy to sign on. Honestly, I felt really excited to come meet this team and start working with them.”
We really love that Ang did her homework about what Passionflix is all about. And we love it even more that she, too, agrees there is so much shame around women needing and wanting sexual pleasure. Getting to talk to her was a lot of fun, and she told us quite an interesting story when we asked her if she’s ever experienced dealing with an annoying neighbor the way Caroline did with Simon. You’re going to have to watch the interview below to hear that answer.
Wallbanger will be available to stream on April 11th, on Passionflix.
