Goodman (The Orville, Honor Society, and Futurama), returns to chat with Mike & Jess about his expanding universe of comics at Dark Horse! 🚀 We dive into The Orville comics, the hilarious adventures of Space Job, and his latest creation, The Masked Macher—a Hollywood underdog’s transformation into a masked wrestling star ("Macher" is Yiddish for BIG SHOT!).

We also discuss his new episodes of Futurama and his exciting upcoming project, Hysteria!, premiering October 18th on Peacock!

Enjoy this special Supplemental episode, and stay tuned for more fascinating conversations with creators like David!

Mike and Jess welcome Seth back to discuss the seventh and final episode of season 1 of Ted, “He’s Gotta Have It.” While the episode centers on Johnny’s quest to lose his virginity before prom, it delves into much deeper themes—like why you should never sit on top of a moving vehicle.

We welcome the moral compass of Ted the series, Blaire Bennett, aka Giorgia Whigham, to discuss the first episode, "Just Say Yes." We'll ask what her impression of the 90s was before doing the show, how it feels to be the person who introduced John and Ted to weed, and what it's like to be an older sister to three brothers in real life!

All that, and more!
