As the name would suggest, this week Mark and Allen are grabbing a little of this, some of that, a bunch of who-knows-what from over there, and calling it a show ... it's a GRAB BAG!  We start off with introductions, followed by Constantine's new segment.  We then have some in-depth (well, in-depth for US) analysis on Season 4, how it compares to other seasons, and what we thought of it in general.  Finally, we end the show with a heartfelt tribute to everyone's favorite band, Mouse Rat!  Stick around, you'll be glad you did.  Or not.  Makes no difference to us.  We're just here for the snacks.  (EDIT BY CONSTANTINE:  Way to advertise, idiots ...)

Mark and Allen had the pleasure of catching up with Emmy Award-Winning Set Decorator Kim Wannop a few backs and got a chance to learn about the art of Set Decoration including her work on Parks and Recreation Seasons 2-7.

Join the guys as they chat with Kim about her work on long running shows like Parks and Recreation, Veep, The Good Place and Bones as well as movies like Fanboys and Moxie. Kim has a lot to share about her career in the Art Department and we got a chance to learn about a whole new piece of the storytelling puzzle going a little deeper behind the camera than we have to date. 

So, strap on your ear-goggles and settle in for a very interesting interview, not only with a terrific and talented guest, but from a perspective that too often doesn't get the attention and credit it deserves. Tune in and see for yourselves!

PS, we wanted to let everyone know that with Summer now in full swing, Mark and Allen will be taking a little time off and working a  new project (hint, hint: it might be another podcast) so you might see a slight, occasional change to a bi-weekly release schedule for a while.  The guys will talk more about this on the next episode. So, stay on the lookout for updates!

No show has been recommended with the caveat "but you should skip the first two seasons" more than Parks and Recreation. While we may remember it now as one of the most beloved and enduring sitcoms of the 2010s—with one of the most impressive ensemble casts ever assembled—it certainly didn't start out that way. Special guests Ally Cabrera-Aragon and Mark Foster join us as we take a sobering look at the NBC classic's awkward start.

This week, Mark and Allen talk through facts, opinions, questions, answers, and a few audio clips as they look into why Michael Schur is so... freaking... awesome.  We peel back the layers of the onion as we talk about his early days at Harvard, his time spent at SNL, shows he has connections to, such as The Office, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Good Place, why he is so liked by those that work with him, and more!  We can speculate what the future holds for him, but one thing we know for certain... Michael Schur has had an undeniable impact on the world of sit-coms.

Fernando Malimovca recomienda la serie de Michael Schur, The Good Place, disponible en Netflix. Una comedia protagonizada por Kristen Bell sobre la vida después de la vida.

Another Effin' Podcast About Sitcom is four friends, Mo Laikowski, Stan Laikowski, Luke Ward and Dan McInerney, going through "The Good Place" carefully pulling all of the joy out of it.  

Here's hoping you enjoy the ride.
