Summary
Rebel Wilson's Australian musical The Deb is joyous, hilarious and moving – and that's largely thanks to Natalie Abbott and Shane Jacobson . In this special Popcorn Podcast episode, we welcome the Aussie stars to talk about the father-daughter dynamic that quietly anchors the The Deb story, what it's like to sing live on a film set, and how grief and connection sit alongside comedy in rural Australia. Abbott, making her major film debut as Taylah, and Jacobson, playing her farmer father Rick, dig into the emotional weight of their characters' missing link and why empathy matters more than toughness. There's also a spirited detour into rugby and a sequel pitch that may or may not involve a wedding.
