    Apr 23 2024

    It’s the war of the Wyatts! Jim O’Heir and Greg Levine break down every jab in this week’s walkthrough of “Ben’s Parents.” In this episode, Leslie presents a unity quilt to Ben’s divorced parents (Jonathan Banks and Glenne Headly), Tom and Jean-Ralphio aim to make Ron a ground-level investor in Rent-A-Swag, and Chris goes on a rollercoaster of emotion.

    Plus, Greg talks about writing his first solo episode of Parks and Rec: everything from the Goldilocks story outline he created, to reworking jokes on set, to the corkboard full of notes he never brought back to the Radford lot.

Cannot Get Enough

I love listening to the behind the scenes thoughts, scrapped lines, and ditched scenes from Rlow, Alan, and guests, of every episode of my favorite TV show.
