It is just fun to play with [in "Mary and Jane"]. I think our sense of humor tends to go that way.

We feel like we are using the East Side to kind of spoof what everybody thinks is cool.

We ["Mary and Jane"] did not want to be a weed show, like it is a bunch of people sitting around smoking.

The pilot is easy. It is 30 minutes, 20 minutes. It is not that much to juggle.

We also had an "in" with MTV those days. Tara Reid was engaged to Carson Daly. She just called him and was like, "Do you want to be in the movie?" So they kind of had to make it work.

Hopefully we have a slightly different vibe, but also East Side is where a lot young people live. It is a really fun, trendy, funky neighborhood, and it is ripe for satire, that area specifically.
