Michael Jamin, Writer and Showrunner, joins Susan and Ben to discuss Amélie, a 2001 romantic comedy. Michael shares what it’s like having a career as a television writer for sitcoms like Beavis and Butt-Head and Tacoma FD, how a writers’ room operates, and the different writers’ room roles. He discusses showrunning challenges, touring for his upcoming book, A Paper Orchestra, starting his podcast, Screenwriters Need to Hear This, and laughing with Norm Hiscock for an entire week while they wrote the King of the Hill episode, “Bobby Goes Nuts.” Michael plays our “Foreign Film Face-off” game.
