Bob's Burgers, S3E14 'Lindapendent Woman' (2013) with writer Mike Benner
Brian and Patrick watch Bob's Burgers, S3E14 'Lindapendent Woman' (2013) with writer Mike Benner.
Mike's bio: "I’m a writer and producer originally from Philadelphia. I’ve sold pilots and developed projects for places like Fox, Disney Animation, Comedy Central, Netflix, the BBC, Cartoon Network, Super Deluxe, and others. I also recently served as executive producer and showrunner of That Lion Show, an adult animated series about how capitalism is preventing Gen Z from pursuing their dreams, now streaming on the Roku Channel! I co-wrote the cult hit horror comedy Destroy All Neighbors, which is available on Shudder, AMC, and--fulfilling a childhood dream--VHS tape. I’ve also written for shows like Bob’s Burgers, Gravity Falls, Danger Mouse, Apple & Onion, Squidbillies, and more. Oh, and one time I got the rapper Quavo to say, “Quavo knows the novels of Nicholas Sparks” during a VO session.
Before moving to Los Angeles, I grew up working in my grandpop’s hardware store from age 6 to 22. After graduating from Temple University, I worked as a newspaper reporter covering City Hall politics in Philadelphia, a job that made me miserable and eventually drove me westward to pursue a career in the decidedly not miserable entertainment industry. When I’m not writing, I enjoys cookin, watching TV with my dog Greta, listening to rap music, watching basketball, skateboarding, sculpting little freaks out of clay, and traveling."
