The Mick writers chat with us about prescription meds and boys being cool.
This part ofThe Mickseason 2 walkthrough looks at episode five.
Why did you want to open up this conversation in regards to Ben?
They all just dont realize that theyre messing up his life that much more.
Is this some connection to the squirrel thats living with Chip?
DANIEL LIBMAN:It wasnt, but if it makes us seem smarter, then absolutely.
That was unintentional, but well take credit for that.
DANIEL LIBMAN:Clearly were doing a big arc with that squirrel this season.
The big animal arc.
DANIEL LIBMAN:I think that Chip is just a stand-up guy.
JOHN CHERNIN:I feel like we came up with a crossbow pretty quickly.
Weve always thought that a crossbow is a funny, weird way to take something to new heights.
Itssointimidating and violent that of course that makes it even funnier for all of this.
Talk a little on breaking these stories and how they dovetail together in the end.
Its a strong visual, but you guys always earn it like in some of the bestAlways Sunnyepisodes.
DANIEL LIBMAN:Yeah, we always want that.
The Acorn Boys stuff was a lot of fun.
JOHN CHERNIN:It was basically all of us when we were kids.
And its just because theyre the objects that are the closest to sex that they can get.
JOHN CHERNIN:It is!
DAVE CHERNIN:This was just a fun one to film in general.
Its always great when Kaitlin [Olson] and Carla [Jiminez] are together.
The scene where theyre on amphetamines and going to town on everything is just so funny.
Carla leads such a straight-edged life but she taps into that character so damn well.
Our walkthrough ofThe Mickssecond season will continue next week.
