He is also preparing for two major film releases. On Nov. 8, he stars in A24's new theological thriller “Heretic,” playing a Mormon missionary caught in a game of cat and mouse with Hugh Grant. It's a role she was born to play: Thatcher was raised Mormon in Illinois, and although she no longer practices, members of both sides of her family are still in the church. “I was a little scared because I didn't want them to judge my mom because she still goes to church,” she says. “Their church is very liberal, so hopefully they are open-minded. But it was scary and strange to do that.” He also has a starring role in the upcoming thriller “Companion.”

10:30 am: Wake up late and move around
I love my dream. I sleep very well. 10:30 wake up. Scroll. I'm working on it. I know it's not the healthiest thing in the world, but I'm aware. The first step is to be aware. I deleted TikTok. I'm anti-TikTok because I would waste a good six or seven hours. It was bad. Now I only have [Instagram] Coils. Then, of course, feed my cat, Gigi.
11:00 am: Go out for breakfast and have a cannabis gummy.
I will bring my boyfriend to Tartine. I always buy the smoked salmon tartine and it is very good. And a cold beer. Then I go to the marijuana store. [MOTA] Across the street from Tartine. I buy Camino Gummies, cherry flavored. Sometimes I take half of one. One costs only five milligrams, but only for something. I don't drive, so all day I just send orders to my boyfriend; He is driving me.
11:40 am: Browse the antique mall for antique earrings.
My boyfriend is from Sherman Oaks. So when I first came to Los Angeles, he showed me a lot of Sherman Oaks. I thought, “This is very charming and not at all what I expected.” Because, you know, you hear the valley… I'll be a little off the Rubbery Road in the Sherman Oaks Antique Mall: It is endless and there is a lot. It's a little overwhelming. I'm an antiques hoarder. Maybe I'll get some earrings there, maybe a record or a new piece of art. A lot of the stuff on my walls is from the Sherman Oaks Antique Mall. The last record I got there was a strange record by a Scandinavian children's choir, and then I heard it and it made me very anxious. It was too dark.
12:40 pm: Have sushi and mate.
there is a Bristol Farms near me in West Hollywood. I'll have a mate there to comfort myself. I'm obsessed with energy drinks. Sometimes coffee doesn't do it. I feel like I'm almost immune to coffee now, so I'll have an energy drink there. I'll get sushi there. Their sushi is really good sushi. And I buy a Chomps meat stick because I need some protein.
1:30 p.m.: Industrial record store.
If I want to get more records or books, there is this place called Analog assembly In Silver Lake that's really sick. It has my favorite records, my favorite books and it is a very specialized collection. They also have very cool movie posters. If I want to get a record that's more industrial, I'll go to Analog assembly. the owner [Mahssa Taghinia] and I have many mutuals. I want to meet her because she seems very cool.
3:00 pm: Have tea at the Museum of Jurassic Technology
I go all over Los Angeles and Austin, my boyfriend, drives and I have the assistant. we are going to go to Jurassic Technology Museumand hopefully get a discount, because my friend Emma works there. I'll take another half of the Camino to the Museum of Jurassic Technology and then hang out at the [Russian tea room rooftop] We went out to the balcony for a while, had tea and talked. I feel like a good two hours is enough for the museum.
5:00 pm: Early dinner in the valley
Let's have dinner early. there is a Little Trois in Sherman Oaks, and that's my favorite place to hang out with Austin. I'm going to order French onion soup and a glass of Pinot Noir, and my boyfriend and I are going to talk and hang out. We'll be there for a good hour and a half. Usually, I'll fight wanting to take a nap because I've done so much, but I'm not going to take a nap.
6:30 pm: Head to the music studio.
We'll go home and I'll work on music, and then I'll get frustrated and stop working on music unless it turns out well, but there's a 50/50 chance it won't. I can't force it.
9:30 pm: Watch TV in bed (and move around some more)
Austin is going to be in bed with our cat, Gigi. If, for some reason, Austin is out of town, I watch “Bojack” to fall asleep and I think I've seen every episode 30 times. It's my sleep program, which is really depressing. It's my comfort show and makes me feel better about myself. If we're together, we'll watch “The Sopranos.” I'll be scrolling and watching. I can't just look at something. I have to be moving. I will go to Depop and check my “suggestions for you” and buy clothes that I don't need and that usually don't fit. I'm still on Tumblr. I find really good art on Tumblr and use it as a lot of references. I'll also be scrolling through Instagram Reels. My algorithm is really funny right now on my finsta. They're just monkeys. I have a very public love for orangutans. I have three stuffed animals that I carry everywhere and they are all cute. At this point it's been a long day and I'm falling asleep.
