“It gets me emotional every time I hear that song,” Barrymore, 48, says as a piece of the film’s score plays during the “very special episode.”
“You know what it’s not even a show. We’re just here in a time machine back 25 years ago because it’s the 25th anniversary ofEver After,” she adds. “I literally can’t even believe that I get to be here with my sisters — my stepsisters — Melanie Lynskey and Megan Dodds.”
Barrymore then wiggles into her chair while wearing large angel wings for her costume, asking Lynskey, 45, and Dodds, 53, about being roommates during the production of the fantasy romance film.
