Dying For Sex
Jenny Slate, and Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock: On Throwing Out the Rules | 9

And they created that relationship that... I know it might sound like obvious, but I just was like, oh, it takes two incredible performers to just immediately seem like they've been friends forever. Because the way you structure the podcast, we start with that happy ending story, you know, and you're just like listening to two best friends talk about this crazy thing that happened at the masseuse.

I feel like there was this feeling that like Molly had been so fearless and like on the podcast, you can hear that fearlessness. So like, how do we show this sex in a way that feels fearless, but is also highly conscious of everyone's experience and wanting to make sure everybody feels good while being

It felt, again, like those men felt so safe with Molly that they could be so open and vulnerable. And I think part of what the show and what the podcast does is hopefully helps people release some of the shame they might feel around even talking about what they like, what turns them on. And so to make that show but not actually show it would feel like that's shame.

Like, why are we cutting away from that? I love that. What was your favorite scene to shoot? I would love to know from the two of you. You know, I really, in the final episode, there's like a very expressionistic, hyper-realistic scene that happens with Molly as, you know, she's getting closer to the end. And like, I just remember everybody who came off set was like so happy and excited.

People were just like filled with joy shooting this scene that's actually happening on this person's deathbed. And I was like, that's kind of amazing that that is happening right now. And so that was one that was really fun to watch the cast shooting. Because they were just having a really good time.

This is my job. Yeah. And the other thing that was amazing about this show was I feel like every actor that came across our path somehow was like the exact right person for the part. I've never worked on anything where it felt like that. Like where it was like every single person who had some like deep sense of a desire to do this and like had some real personal connection to the material.

I'm proud that we put a character with ADHD on screen who has to become a caretaker and like rises to the occasion.
