Also with Andrew, his parents did wax his upper lip when he was that age, and for years he couldn't grow any pubic hair, so it's really pretty bizarre. This season, my character Nick gets pantsed and that actually did happen to me in a very different scenario than the one we created in the show. A lot of the emotions and stuff I was feeling about being a small kid is very real. Andrew was my best friend and he had been really hit hard by puberty, so that's obviously very real. How much of Nick's story are you pulling from your own life? How much of this is a personal story for you? Well, I was a very late bloomer. That's part of the feeling of puberty, that it is both filthy and also very sincere, and the stakes feel really high for kids at that age. Yeah, we were really trying to constantly ride that line.
It's such a special, unexpected spot to hit. The show is such a wonderful, strange mix of the filthy and the sincere. He told us what from this season was taken from his real life, how that Planned Parenthood episode came together, why they introduced shame into the mix this season, and where the show may head in the future. We spoke to slightly sleep-deprived Big Mouth co-creator Nick Kroll the evening before the release of season two. There were also glorious odes to female bodies, stories about Jessi's parents separating and her trying drugs, Coach Steve losing his virginity, Jay exploring his sexuality, Nazi dildos (don't ask me, ask the Shame Wizard), and a whole episode devoted to Planned Parenthood. This season, the illustrious vocal cast-including Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Jason Mantzoukas, Jessi Klein and Jordan Peele- were joined by newcomers Gina Rodriguez and David Thewlis, who played Shame Wizard, the Hormone Monster's mortal enemy. Thankfully, like a lot of people, I caught up quickly, and I can't recommend it enough for people who enjoy their comedy swinging between earnestness and utter perversity. Like a lot of people, I slept on Big Mouth, Netflix's animated comedy which explores the enduring awkwardness of adolescence with both warmth and gross-out humor, when it first debuted last year.
