Want to have lunch with Elizabeth Banks and Jennifer Lawrence? Get in line! And while youโ€™re waiting, hereโ€™s the next best thing. Lawrence is the featured guest on the new episode of her Hunger Games co-starโ€™s web series, โ€œAsk a Badass,โ€ where Banks asks her such probing questions as โ€œWhat song would be the soundtrack to your life?โ€ and โ€œHow do you feel about your hair growing out?โ€

It doesnโ€™t take long for the Q&A session to turn into a mutual admiration society, with Lawrence praising Banksโ€™ take-charge attitude โ€” โ€œYou sound just like Harvey Weinstein on the phone!โ€ she says admiringly โ€” and Banks jokingly inviting Lawrence to have a threesome with Games co-star Woody Harrelson. โ€œWoody wouldnโ€™t! Iโ€™m his โ€˜daughter,โ€™ are you kidding?โ€ฆ He would be horrified!โ€ Lawrence responds.

Over the course of their conversation, we learn that Banks is Lawrenceโ€™s go-to guru for personal-care tips, and that Lawrence thinks โ€œBarbie Girlโ€ should be her personal theme song. (โ€œThatโ€™s how I feel as an actress: my job just depends on what outfits Iโ€™m wearing,โ€ she explains.)
