Nick Kroll and Brandon Kyle Goodman Have Emotional Meetings with Human Resources

Human Resources, a spinoff of the Netflix show Big Mouth, is a
very honest, truthful, and illuminating program about how mental
and emotional health operate. It’s well-researched and displays
depth and accuracy. And all of that might be surprising given
that it’s full of extremely horny monsters, panicky mosquitoes,
ambition gremlins and a ton of other cartoon creatures. And just
so much extremely graphic talk about sex and bodily functions. So
much, you guys. But the show is smart and anyone who has dealt
with a mental health obstacle might spot something relatable in
the show. We’re joined by Nick Kroll, co-creator of the show, and
Brandon Kyle Goodman, a writer and consultant on it, both of whom
also act in Human Resources. We find out how they took some
fairly abstract mental health notions and turned them into
cartoon characters.
