What doesGLOWs show within a showactually look like?
the fictional show is a total delight.
Its 34 minutes of delirious entertainment, though it could have been much longer.
The first cut of this episode was 47 minutes long,GLOWwriter and producer Rachel Shukert told Vulture.
This episode, she says, was really about how they seethemselves.
The intention was to stay true to how the characters would make the episode, given their minimal resources.
I felt like that really put us in their heads a little bit.
How do we turn the trophy case into a science lab?
How would they do it?
That we actually had to go scout, Shukert said.
The identical-twins plotline gave the writers something juicy for Ruth, who cant wrestle because her ankle is broken.
But it also seemed like something that Ruth would want to do.
Shed be like, I can domore!I have so much range!
She probably grew up watchingThe Parent Trap, Shukert explained.
But that doesnt mean it was easy, even if Brie pulled off both characters without breaking a sweat.
And Sydelle wound up being so great in that character.
Shes from Grenada originally, so she really tapped into something very deep and cool in herself.
The idea that you had to give up your brain to get a boyfriend felt very funny to us.
We were just like,Itll be funny.
She wanted to name it after her real boyfriend.
I feel like that was in the Pinterest board in my head about that scene.
Hes got such an incredible sense of pastiche, Shukert said.
At the same time, we also wanted it to not betoogood, Shukert added.
The G.O.A.T.
So, how did this particular farm animal end up in the episode?
I have a weird phobia of goats, Shukert said.
It dates back to my very early childhood when I was attacked by goats in a petting zoo.
I felt like this goat could be a way to sort of get over that.
We had to shoot around her udder, she explained.
But she was a great goat.
That goat was a great actor.
I would work with that goat again in a heartbeat.
It was amazing to watch because he was so serious about it, Shukert said.
It was really choreographed.
