Welcome back to The Black List Table Reads, hosted by Franklin Leonard. This week we return to comedy with Terrible Parents from screenwriter Kevin Oeser. One Black List reader said of the script, “The dialogue is sharp and intelligent. The characters rapports are wonderful and the send up of modern parenting is biting without feeling misanthropic. Finally, the writing itself is extremely well done, clearly the work of a screenwriter in total control of their medium.” Terrible Parents is brought to life by Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Rob Huebel, Janie Haddad Tompkins, Sarah Baker, Matt Gourley, Joel Spence, Michelle Lema, Lauren Flans, and Cooper Thornton.
