Rugrats: "What the Big People Do"
TV writer Danielle Weisberg (The Simpsons, Krapopolis) joins us for one of the tentpole 90s Nicktoons from animation behemoth Klasky-Csupo, and its strange and scary imaginary tale about an adulthood with baby heads on adult bodies. We talk about Danielle's trajectory from being a Batman stand-in on Conan to writing award-nominated animated sitcom episodes, along with the artistry of Rugrats, Nickelodeon's grunge and edge, how this episode reflects real-life infantilization in the workplace, and more!
