West Wing Wednesday: These Crackpots and These Women w/ Jessica Ellis

<p>Writer/Director Jessica Ellis is back on the show to discuss The West Wing's fifth episode, The Crackpots and These Women.</p><br><p>We talk about how Sorkin&nbsp;writes women, and how this episode's&nbsp;script airs out a lot of his dirty laundry regarding his own scriptwriting. We also discuss the (strangely) relevant plots surrounding the government's relationship to space aliens, potential world shattering plagues, and a proposed coyote highway, and finally get our first glimpse into the interior lives of our favorite characters.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Find Jessica and her new film at:&nbsp;<a href="http://whatlieswest.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">whatlieswest.com</a></p><br><p>Patreon:&nbsp;<a href="http://patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989</a></p><br><p>Twitter:&nbsp;<a href="twitter.com/podcastlikeits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">twitter.com/podcastlikeits</a></p><br><p>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="instagram.com/podcastlikeits" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/podcastlikeits</a></p><br><p>Reddit:&nbsp;<a href="http://reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts</a></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
