favourite story involving any of the producers of Supernatural? No.

So Ben Edlund from Supernatural was a writer on Buffy and then he was one of the senior writers on Angel.

And apparently every week he pitched What If It's an Evil Horse? and they never did it because it's silly and dumb so Joss Whedon had to shoot this down multiple times and Ben Edlund finally got to a point in Supernatural that he thought he was ready to use his evil horse and then the writer's strike started and then he got a phone call from Joss Whedon just going I've got this idea for a comedy musical that I'm going to make during the writer's strike can I nick your bad horse idea oh man And he sort of went, it's more of an FYI.

I've already hired the horse.

And Ben Edlund probably sat back and went, that's good.

That's a piece of media that will live forever because Joss Whedon will be beloved for generations.

I like the idea that from now on whenever people bring up Joss Whedon's horrible behaviour there's a little like there's a pause about maybe maybe like a beat beat or two and Ben Edlund chimes in and he nicked my horse I did yeah didn't Ben Edlund also create the tick I think he didn't create the comic book The Tick, but I think he was involved in the television adaptation.

Not the animated one, the live action one with Patrick Warburton, who is possibly the best live action casting of The Tick you could ever do.

use the word genius because I think his writing is...

so impactful the whedon speak it's so fun and energetic but he can make you laugh he can make you cry he can make he can make things really tense one moment and then you know the tension's broken the next it's um so good i mean again he has a good uh cast of rights actually so we had um Tim Minear, Ben Edlund, James S. Benson, Drew Greenberg, Brett Matthews.

Some of those people, James S. Benson was big on the Buffy days as well.

Tim Minear on Angels.
