EP. 296 — Taking the Bladder Out

Life long pals David Wain & Michael Showalter have reunited to co-write a brand new rom-com called They Came Together and they’re here on CBB to tell us all about it! They’ll get into the good ol’ days of listening to podcasts on road trips to NYU, how they’ve removed the bladder out of the romantic comedy genre, and announce a very special promotion exclusive to CBB listeners. Later, Percy Pennyweather of the Steppenwolf Theatre stops by all the way from Chicago to invite the guys to an all new production of This Is Our Youth.
