Faking It with Ariel and Morgan
This one is so real it hurts. Ariel and Morgan dive into PEN15 (Season 1, Episode 3: “Ojichan”). From the very first moment of “wait… what is happening to my body?” to the full spiral of can’t-stop-won’t-stop self-discovery, this episode captures the chaos, confusion, and intensity of discovering desire with absolutely no roadmap. They get into it all: * The painfully accurate portrayal of first arousal: awkward, obsessive, and completely all-consuming * Why casting adult actors as teens might allow the show to explore this safely without crossing ethical lines * The way PEN15 captures the feeling of “I must be the only one experiencing this” * How shame, secrecy, and silence around sex education shape those early experiences It’s cringey. It’s deeply familiar. And it turns one of the most private human experiences into comedy gold. Want to watch along? Our reaction covers Maya's first discovery (00:00:41), the Closet/Walkman scene (00:09:22), and the Classroom montage (00:04:14) We cut around the clips, so it won’t sync perfectly, but you’ll absolutely get the point. 👉 Before you say anything - yes, Ariel mispronounced Maya Erskine’s last name. We know. We’re sorry. We love her. ----------------------------------------- CREDITS — PEN15 (S1E3 “Ojichan”) Creators: Maya Erskine; Anna Konkle; Sam Zvibleman Director: Daniel Gray Longino Writers: Maya Erskine; Anna Konkle; Sam Zvibleman Producers: Maya Erskine; Anna Konkle; Sam Zvibleman Actors (featured in discussed scenes): Maya Erskine; Anna Konkle © 2019 Hulu / Lonely Island Classics, Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment, AwesomenessTV.
