Season Two of FX’s Dicktown is currnetly streaming on FXX and Hulu. Recently, the writers/ directors/ stars/ of the hilarious animated anthology, John Hodgman (The Tick, The Daily Show) and David Rees (Going Deep with David Rees, Codefellas) sat down to “Break some goddamn news.” Dicktown deals with the tenuous nerd/ jock balance between Jon Hunchman (Hodgman), the once the famous boy detective of Richardsville, North Carolina (Dicktown, to the locals), now pushing 40 and still solving mysteries for teens and David Purefoy, his former high school bully, who is now his only and unlikely friend, driver, and hired muscle. The two routinely have fights over the minutiae of obscure cultural references, such as who Mon -El is in the DC Universe, with Purefoy not caring and Hunchman becoming angry that he doesn't care. Between chasing down stolen pimento cheese recipes and high school mascots gone rogue, John and David never stop trying to solve the biggest mystery: how to grow up. But when a menacing figure roars into their lives on a weird motorcycle-car, they learn the past isn’t done with them yet. With “Scoops aplenty” the two Dicks of Dicktown recently engaged in an extremely jocular chin (on behalf of Bleeding Cool) to discuss …Their collaborative writing process, inspirations for what was almost called “Wet Detectives,” Guest Stars to expect this season, and why Hodgman “despises The Flintstones.”
