    Episode 17: I Love Dick

    Episode 17: I Love Dick

    In this episode Liz and Molly deconstruct the pilot episode of Jill Soloway's brilliant show, I Love Dick. It's like porn and a soap opera and performance art ALL AT THE SAME TIME.  Oh, and it's also hilarious. Bottom line: if you haven't watched it yet, get on Amazon, get your Doritos Cool Ranch (or Spicy Nacho - you do you) and dive into a binge. 
    How did this show develop from a book? In what way does I Love Dick illustrate the female gaze? AND HOW IS KEVIN BACON STILL SO SEXY???

To celebrate the premier of the third season Molly and Liz are and deconstructing the pilot episode of Rick and Morty.  How did this show evolve from a crude parody of Back to the Future into the schwifty series we know and love?  How does the pilot establish the insanity of the world so quickly and effectively? What Reddit fan theory has Molly and Liz LOSING THEIR MINDS?

    Episode 14: The Office

    What are the differences between the UK and the US shows?  How does The Office manage to brilliantly introduce its cast in just a few moments? How did Ricky Gervais transition from being a pop singer to acting and running a hit comedy?  Did you even realize that Ricky Gervais was once a pop star in a new wave band?  WE DIDN'T UNTIL THIS EPISODE.
    Listen to hear the goods.  There are no bads in this one.
    Find us on facebook and follow us on twitter @HowtoLiz and @MoollyMiller.  You can also email us at deconscripted@gmail.com for questions, suggestions, or just to say "what's up?".   Answer: my ceiling and a tiny spider that bites my neck at night.
