1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 This week on On Story, a conversation on the animated tragicomedy series Bojack Horseman with two of its writers, Alison Flierl and Joe Lawson. &amp;nbsp; The series follows Bojack, a washed-up former sitcom star who’s trying to stage a comeback in Hollywood, while fighting against his own addiction and self-destructive tendencies. Bojack is also an anthropomorphic horse inhabiting a world where humans and animals live side-by side. The series, which ran for six seasons on Netflix, features the voice acting talents of Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Aaron Paul, and a rotating cast of celebrity cameos.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Before writing for Bojack Horseman, Joe Lawson worked as a writer on Shameless, Modern Family, and This is Us. More recently, Lawson worked as a writer on Rian Johnson’s case-of-the-week murder mystery series, Poker Face. Lawson is joined by his fellow Bojack writer, Alison Flierl, whose other writing credits include Conan, and the School of Rock TV series.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Flierl and Lawson sat down with AFF moderator Harrison Glaser to discuss their love-hate relationship with the character of Bojack, and how working in an animated medium allowed them to tackle surprisingly serious topics.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Clips of Bojack Horseman courtesy of BoJack Productions LLC.&amp;nbsp; Austin Film Festival's On Story http://austinfilm.libsyn.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/39435140/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/39435140
