About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the Paramount/Warner Brothers deal and the challenges of a career in the arts while exploring the TV production process.

The guys talk through the implications of the Paramount/Warner Brothers deal, lamenting the instability of a career in the arts (and the downfall of Quiznos) before pulling back the curtain on how TV actually gets made — from last-second joke rewrites before taping, to animatic locks, to editors performing literal magic in front of their eyes.
