The cast of _Sisters_ stopped by _Late Night with Seth Meyers_ Thursday to promote the film, which is officially out today, Dec. 18\. And yes, they’re well aware that there’s [_another_ movie](http://time.com/4150168/review-star-wars-the-force-awakens/) that just came out too.

So, stars Tina Fey and Amy Poehler — along with writer [Paula Pell](http://time.com/4141195/sisters-tina-fey-amy-poehler-featurette/) and cast mates Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, and Ike Barinholtz — decided to convince us all to see _Sisters_ with the help of _Star Wars_ figurines.

They all take turns selling the movie, but the most passionate person is definitely Amy Poehler.

“I’ve read this guy’s name three times and I don’t remember it,” Poehler says, holding up her action figure. “I don’t care. I don’t care about _Star Wars_ and I never f–king did. I’m sorry. I’m tired of pretending. I don’t care about it.”

Poehler really just wants everyone to go see _Sisters_ instead. Watch the full segment here:
