“It’s a little dark in here. Sorry, this is not perfect,” she said, excusing her surroundings, which make for a lively interview to talk about Stefani, the crass and gratingly bubbly Detroit stripper she plays in “Zola.” Keough and I share in our mutual disgust for one of Stefani’s more heinous moments, one that surely haunts anyone who’s seen the movie.
