Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle are the comedic geniuses behind the show Pen15, in which the two adult women play outcast 13-year-old versions of themselves as they navigate the highs and lows of middle school. Taking place in the year 2000, the pair not only nail teenage angst and awkwardness like we’ve never quite seen on TV before, but watching the show also evokes major nostalgia. On this episode, Erskine and Konkle bring us inside creating the Pen15 world—Tamagotchis, braces, and tankinis included. Plus, hear what we can expect from season two, part two, available on Hulu Dec 3.
