Writing this episode was like going on a shopping spree. Absolutely everything I love to do as a writer is in here...and then we got to do this insane finale with every single mute gang

Next up: the Season One finale, “BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOGS” by Bill Wolkoff. I asked if we could name this episode after the Russ Meyer movie and Bill promptly said “yes” and it was the title from that day forward. What a blessed show

The true origins of Hoag’s name = we were calling him “HOA Guy” as in Homeowners Association Guy and eventually that just got shortened to Hoag
