Retta & Mae Whitman Swing By To Talk About NBC's "Good Girls"

When three suburban moms get tired of trying to make ends meet, they decide it’s time to stick up for themselves by robbing the local grocery store. But when the manager catches a glimpse of one of them and the loot is far more than they expected, it doesn’t take long for the three best friends to realize the perfect getaway will be harder than they think. From executive producer Jenna Bans comes this comedy-infused drama that mixes a little “Thelma & Louise” with a bit of “Breaking Bad.” Stars Retta & Mae Whitman took the BUILD stage to chat about the new NBC series, "Good Girls."

Ruby & Stan played the perfect couple. I loved them so much!

[@JohnnieFuller]

Yes, they do.

[@Keeith7]

Yup both really ugly

[@missmelissaa]

Zakkary Keith so I’m guessing you’re a troll cuz you said that comment in another video..😐 and I’m guessing your insecure self is only making those comments to make yourself feel better because you’re probably not the best looking yourself judging by the comments you make 🤷🏾‍♀️ It’s actually sad and I feel bad for you..😬

[@Kindred04]

@THOTASIA O. SCREEM - I know you were trying to help, but your comment makes it seem like you agree they're ugly but you just don't think it's right to say so. I don't see what you guys are seeing, because I think both Reno Wilson (the actor who plays Stan) and Retta are attractive people. There's nothing ugly about either of them. Also, have you seen Reno Wilson's wife? They've been married for over 20 years, and I'm sure she would fit your very narrow definition of pretty. So your idea that someone who looks like Reno wouldn't have an attractive spouse is ridiculous.

@@Keeith7 says the one who can’t put a display picture 🤣 try again

[@lindasparling5049]

👏 to the actresses of the show!! They play the roles perfectly

[@JohnnieFuller]

Amennnnn!

[@russellpottenger8584]

What makes the show so powerful is the character development. Each actor/actress has a very distinct and different personality.

[@rachkate76]

Agreed.

[@johndogbe1428]

Good Writing and even better Acting on Good Girls .....WATCH !!!

[@nurulainibrahim6555]

Mae Whitman is so smart! I like her take on all the important issues in the shows.

[@frenchartantiquesparis424]

I know. She's brilliant.

[@rachkate76]

Rhetta could probably be just as smart if not more if she could get more than 10 words in before Mae then dominates the interview. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@thetoriguide9713]

@@rachkate76 agreed

[@magaencina2863]

I LOOOOVE the show and cant wait for season 2!!!

[@MarikitShareYe]

manny montana too! please interview him!

[@Nezziekay]

I love RETTA!

[@jbailey1898]

Loved Retta and Mae's comment about "natural and normal." I think all the gimmicky crap like "let's make a show that capitalizes on the issues if the day to make a buck and a ratings grab"is so vapid and lame. Great writer!! She actually writes interesting stories that draw us in. And yes, Parenthood was SO WONDERFUL.

[@Employeeofthemonth2001]

I can't wait for the Season 2 ! [SPOILER] ⬇⬇⬇ And please Rio and Beth need to do something together ! I hope she shoots her "husband" sorry I really don't like him... 😂

[@etta5487]

aGREED! Rio is so fucking hot i can't deal. Dean is a dick and a half. But seriously Rio is what sex would look like as a person.

[@Employeeofthemonth2001]

Etta Jurima HAHAHA XD you're right!

[@etta5487]

Julia S//// I think I forgot to mention how hot Rio is. Sorry about that!😂

[@Employeeofthemonth2001]

Etta Jurima Haha you already said it XD but yeah RIO is SUPER HOT, is it his voice ? His tatoos ? His features ? Because he is not my type of guy in reality :0 anyway he is sexy.

[@JessDLea]

I know the show is supposed to be on the campy side for sure, and as hot as Rio is and as much as they eluded to them maybe hooking up..honestly, I wouldn't fuck someone who put a gun to my head repeatedly. Or threatened family and friends or forced me to do illegal shit. Her husband is annoying, dumb and disloyal and should go to the curb....but they haven't set up her character as the type to shoot her husband in cold blood. And if she did that's some cold shit that just doesn't mesh with her character at all. The point is all the woman have humanity and are trying to work within moral/ethical lines - bending them, sure - but I think the point is that bad times call for extreme measures which is relatable to most people's lives when they hit a point of desperation. If any of the three characters go blindly murdering people for the fuck of it, kind've obliterates what the writers are trying to do in keeping the humanity in the main characters.

[@simonebarkley2598]

Bring Good Girls back. I wish Netflix would've picked up. I loved it. Watched it in 2 weeks. Every night

[@rayleenlilley3549]

Best interview I’ve seen with them! Questions we all wanted to hear the answers to! Seriously the most bomb show I’ve seen in years 🙌

I love Retta so much and as Ruby my heart is always with her. Mae is amazing too. Love this show.

[@ahleybihop2496]

One of my top 5 shows ever!!!!!

[@alexanderparada8290]

Mae Whitman is an underrated actress, she seems to be a very nice person!! I don't know much about all her acting roles however she made me realize that she voiced Katara from Avatar TLA, I would love to meet her one day!! I see that she is a smart working talented actress and doing an some amazing work. I'm surprised that she still has her Katara voice to this day and she is so beautiful.

[@sandraklein2651]

This show is without a doubt 1 of the best! Can't wait for season 2!!!!

[@blossomgarrido766]

I love the show but I feel like Rio the character doesnt have enough screen time, I actually watch the show because of Rio. He brought the excitement and it feels so short his scenes.

[@carolinasalas8582]

Talking bad about Rio as a character when Annie is a irresponsable mother with rude attitude, who always wants to come out as inocent when she is a mess, when she left her kid with a guy who knew like month ago, stole from a elderly woman, stole from the girlfriend of her ex, hating on that woman for being hardworking and lving a healthy focus on selfimproven life, sleeping with a married man with a kid on the way, and she has the nerve to scream at the other woman when they screw up, love Rudy she is such a great woman .

[@rachkate76]

I guess that’s another example of white privileged double standards.

[@myrafarooqi5445]

obsessed with izzy stannard such a cutie great actor

MYRA FAROOQI just for information sake.. Izzy changed his name to Isaiah. He identifies as a transgender male and goes by he/him pronouns. Check out his instagram: instagram.com/isaiahstannard?igshid=1fr3l9g8xziih I don’t know how the story of Sadie will unfold in good girls- but nonetheless Isaiah is a great actor and has my support.

gilmore girls is a women led tv show that doesnt make it weird that they are women

[@rachkate76]

Mae please let Rhetta get more than 10 words in before you take the liberty of getting 1000 words for each question.

[@Keeith7]

So retta Doesn't have a last name? Lol

[@Kindred04]

@Zakkary Keith - Her name is Marietta Sirleaf, but professionally she just goes by Retta.

[@hounddog127]

The problem with this show is how toxic the characters are (mainly the men) and how acceptable and normalized it is throughout the show. No one ever speaks up or cares when someone treats them like shit or is simply wrong

[@TheDessi94]

Katara!!!!

[@nathanguitar4246]

She even says “genre bending” at 3:41. The water bender likes genre bending.
