In fact, it was a comment from Sue Dunlap, the head of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, that inspired the episode. "We’d really like to amplify that," she continues, "because I think that so gets lost in the shuffle." To be more specific, Planned Parenthood reports that they provide 5.4 million people worldwide every year with sexual and reproductive health care, education, and outreach.
"For a huge amount of women in America, that’s where they get their health care," Flackett says. (Which it is and it does.) It wanted to show why for the last 100 years Planned Parenthood has been the go-to source of information and education on reproductive and sexual health. "I guess I just love that slide whistle man," she says laughing.īut Big Mouth wanted to do more than prove "Groove Is In The Heart" is still a bop after all these years. Obviously, Planned Parenthood does that, too, and the episode touches on that in a heartwarming and hilarious segment set to, of all things, Deee-Lite's "Groove Is In The Heart." "I remember spending a significant amount of time talking about the slide whistle in that song and how silly it would be to imagine somebody playing that particular part," Emily Altman, who wrote the episode, tells Bustle.Īltman, who interned at Planned Parenthood when she was 15, says the 1990 song was essential to the dialogue-free sketch in which Andrew's mom Barbara chooses to have an abortion after a one-night stand with the band's slide whistle player. And despite what Jay Bilzerian says, the organization does so much more than provide access to abortion services. Watching the fifth episode of Season 2, viewers - some of whom are not that much older than Big Mouth's puberty-stricken tween characters - will laugh, but they'll also understand exactly what it is Planned Parenthood does. Instead, it finds humor in some of the most cringeworthy aspects of sex ed without ignoring the actual educational parts of it. Luckily, Big Mouth's episode about Planned Parenthood in Season 2 doesn't just serve you vegetables.
"I do think if felt like, 'Here's your vegetables,' then that's no good," Flackett tells Bustle. I'm happy I got diagnosed and got therapy.How do you make an episode of Netflix's Big Mouth about Planned Parenthood that, as Coach Steve suggests, is "entertaining and informative, but also not too preachy"? According to co-creator Jennifer Flackett, you focus on the facts first and worry about the jokes later, always knowing they'll have to be really good to pull this balancing act off. And I'm doing well at my job, have a side gig going that is progressing nicely, and am editing a book with some smart people. And my suicidal tendencies got isolated and treated (previously i didn't even talk about them in therapy because there was so much other crap), and I haven't wanted to kill myself in six months. I found that having an accountability partner helps me finish things, and finishing things makes me less depressed. Helped that I met my SO around then and got together. Changed jobs, cut my family off for a little, stopped hanging with friends who aren't accommodating of me, changed my whole life to be more organized and focused, established new routines and sleep schedules because lack of sleep makes all this worse. So I had to understand my condition and stop putting myself in situations that cause this kind of frustration. And social relationships are affected because you can't adapt to changing plans, causes further depression because of social isolation. Everyone thinks you don't care enough to try. It's called a Frustration Profile, because you keep having all the big ideas and talk a big game, but can't deliver. The depression was actually caused by having this condition. It only makes your mind have slow processing power while the rest of your brain is fine, so you can't focus on stuff, can't multitask, can't adapt to changing plans and can't work under deadline. Yeah, I actually have this other condition called slow cognitive tempo as well.
