Joel Kim Booster Details Epic Period Scene From ‘Big Mouth’ That Didn’t Make It To Air: ‘A Tribe Of Eggs That Lives Inside A Woman’

“Big Mouth” pushes the envelope in the most absurdly wonderful ways but not every idea makes it to Netflix screens. Just ask Joel Kim Booster.

Booster (“Fire Island”) served as a voice actor, producer and writer on the Emmy-winning animated series. Speaking to ET Canada at JBL Fest in Las Vegas, Booster shares one “Big Mouth” idea that was too ambitious for the show’s budget and deadline. “We had a really incredible sequence basically detailing what a period looks like from the inside and, specifically, a tribe of eggs that lives inside a woman and what that tribe looks like and what happens to a tribe member every month,” Booster says. “There was a really, really incredible sequence and we just didn’t have time and we didn’t have the money to animate it right.” Booster describes the adult animated coming-of-age series as one of the most invigorating settings he has worked in.

We just go back to that time in our own lives and dig deep and figure out what the theme would actually be. “We start off with the real stuff.

We start off with what actual kids are dealing with and whatever the theme we can figure out from that is. We take it and then we build the comedy on top of that.
