Episode notes
Prefer Monthly Donations
- When donating, prefer small monthly gifts over one-time sums to help nonprofits budget.
- Regular donations help organizations plan programs and strengthen grant applications.
DVD Logo Cold Open Origin
- Jen Salata based the DVD-logo cold open on a real writers' room obsession where she once saw the logo hit the corner.
- The scene was shot with a blue screen and the logo was burned in later to precisely time reactions.
Postproduction Controls Timing
- The production used a blue screen and added the DVD logo in post to control timing and reactions.
- That allowed editors to place the corner hit precisely against actors' planned cues.
