Ep. 77: Jason Benetti &  Liz Feldman

Christina Applegate

Linda Cardellini

Complicated Female Friendship, Murder and Mommy Issues *** What took us so long to cover Season Two of one of our favorite shows? Turns out, the timing was perfect for us! (01:36) *** Complicated Woman Rating. Jen Harding and Judy Hale, two of our most complicated female leads, show us even more dimensions this season. We didn’t think it was possible, but Jen gets softer and Judy shows a darker side. They both grow and evolve in such surprising ways! (05:55) *** Scenes. In Episode 2 Jen realizes that Henry’s bird is a mom, which gets us talking about all the moms and mothering this season (19:32); Jen goes all Walter White and gives us a Breaking Bad moment (22:40); scenes with Jen’s body and how much of her pain and love is tied up with her physical body really get to us (24:09); the scene where Judy and Jen’s relationship comes to a head is a total show-stopper and makes the season (28:56); these scenes get us discussing toxic friendships (35:05). *** The Ending. All the twists and turns this season culminate in a final surprising finale that has us talking about what it really means to be a criminal and guessing what will come in Season Three. There is SO much to unpack in this last episode. (38:59) *** Crystal Ball. Our predictions are sprinkled all over the place, but we tick off a few of our ideas here. (52:00) *** That Cliffhanger. Shocking or inevitable? We say both. (55:05) *** What’s Your Damage, Heather? Mommy issues have become a real theme on this podcast lately, and in this season of Dead to Me that damage is on full display for Jen and Judy. (63:48) *** What She Said -- Liz Feldman. Carinn discusses our tweets with Liz Feldman herself and Kate cites a quote about the intimacy of female friendship, which reminds them of their own novel! Carinn hopes they don’t “Thelma and Louise” the end of this series! (68:00) *** Who Won the Show? For Carinn the answer is dancing and for Kate it’s astrology. Confused? Listen and hear why. (79:14)  *** Takeaways. Kate lays on the couch, citing another Liz Feldman quote, and shares how she hopes to keep evolving and facing her issues. Carinn reluctantly hops on the couch next to Kate, and roots around for that wound she feels when she watches Judy.

Ellen DeGeneres

Liz Feldman landed her first writing opportunity at the age of 16, on the Nickelodeon series, ‘All That.’ Years later, she got involved with the Groundlings and Second City, eventually meeting her manager, and stepping into a career as a screenwriter. Feldman has credits for writing on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, ‘The Oscars,’ ‘One Big Happy,’ and ‘2 Broke Girls,’ but she’s also the creator of the new hit series, ‘Dead to Me,’ for Netflix. The series stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini. In this interview, Feldman discusses what she learned writing jokes for Ellen DeGeneres, what it means to be a perfectionist in the Writer’s Room, the difference between a great writer and a decent writer, dealing with rejection, and the importance of finding comfort being vulnerable.

The Creation of DEAD TO ME w/ Liz Feldman

**Complicated Woman Rating (Jen &amp; Judy) Kate unpacks the many layers of grieving widow Jen, including her defining characteristic: anger. Carinn describes Judy a liar and a murderer, but acknowledges her other positive attributes, particularly as she relates to Jen. Both agree these two women are complicated and that their friendship is the heart of this show. (01:38) **Jen or Judy - who do we relate to more? Kate declares “it’s not even close” -- she feels like she's all Jen. Carinn relates to Jen’s anger (as we'll hear first hand later!) but notes that we each have a little Judy in us. (10:56) **Conflict is all around. Carinn observes that conflict is present in every element of this show: the characters, the setting, and the music. The cinematography and setting create brilliant visual tension. The music is also another level of conflict: dark scenes and content being narrated by old-fashioned upbeat songs. (16:11) **Scenes: love, lies, and manslaughter Kate discusses the pilot episode’s many plot reveals and reversals, including when Jen discovers that Judy is lying and Steve is not actually dead and that Judy is the one that killed Jen’s husband, Ted (19:09);  The episode on Ted’s birthday/celebration of life was full of surprises, but Carinn especially loves the tension of the notes in the balloons and what might be revealed, including Ted’s affair (27:58);  Kate recounts the scene where Jen and Judy confront Ted’s mistress and how the two of them help each other with their respective relationship issues, but in the end Carinn is pissed at Judy’s selfish reveal to Jen that Ted killed her to his mistress (32:33);  Carinn talks about the Friends of Heaven retreat, which brings poignant empathy for Judy who struggles with whether she is “broken” in the miscarriage workshop scene and shows another example of something that could only have been written by a woman (42:32);  Kate loves the scene where Jen finally confesses to Judy, which is more than just Judy finally coming clean, it turns out to be one of the most vulnerable scenes for Jen (49:08);  Carinn brings it home with a discussion of the finale when Jen evens the score as Steve floats face down in the pool. (53:53)  **What She Said - Liz Feldman. Kate reveals why Liz Feldman leaned into Jen’s anger, which turned out to be more than likable - it’s completely relatable. Carinn talks about a quote on Liz Feldman’s duality, which is so present in Jen and Judy, concluding that tapping into one’s duality is where the magic happens. (57:28) **Crystal ball. Carinn and Kate speculate about what’s coming for Jen &amp; Judy in Season Two, which will be released soon. (70:41) **Takeaways. Kate’s takeaway comes from another Liz Feldman quote about the secret to creating something authentic: find your wound and then try to find a way to express it. Carinn’s takeaway shines a light on friends and creative partners who act as mirrors, reminding you of who you are and who you've always been...like US!
