Screenwriter and cartoonist, Alex Gregory joins us on the podcast this week. Alex was a guest on the podcast three years ago and we mostly talked about his career in cartooning on that episode (#66). On this episode, we go over some of our favorite cartoons of his and talk more about his screenwriting. The most recent show he's been a writer on is "The Studio", which was recently nominated for 23 Emmy's (the most for any first season comedy series)!
