While it would be nothing short of cruel for Disney to lock Kathryn Hahn, Aubrey Plaza, Patti LuPone, and Sasheer Zamata in a room and make them perform ASMR content, the five-hour video is actually a loop of roughly three to four minutes of the actors doing their best impressions of what ASMR is.
Highlights of the performance included Khan tapping his claws on a branch, Zamata playing with a potion bottle chain, and LuPone shuffling cards. Plaza, as always, went all out with her ASMR session, making a variety of knife sounds. These included the scraping of a log, stabbing a log, cutting a flower, and licking a knife. Not to be outdone, Plaza ended her ASMR session by lighting and blowing out two candles. According to Plaza, her final act symbolized the annihilation of “all the dark spirits that have haunted us for centuries.” Thank you for your efforts.
