From KCRW, Santa Monica and KCRW.com, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. My guest, writer, director, Maggie Carey, has dealt with sexual archetypes since the

beginning of her career. Her new movie, which was originally titled, I think what the hand job?

The hand job. Yep, it was. Yes. I guess they couldn't get that release with a PG-13. Although the movie

doesn't have a PG-13 anyway. It's R. It's right at R. And its current incarnation is called The To Do List. First of all, thanks so much for being here.

Oh, thank you for having me.

I'm super excited.

And it's funny because even thinking about the Jeannie Tate Show, I mean, all these characters are kind of like these, you deal with a lot of people who are very determined.

Very determined.

Yes. And the Jeannie Tate show was a web series I did,

and it was a soccer mom who did a talk show from her car, from her minivan while she was running errands.

So we had guests like Bill Hader, Rashida Jones, Robert. Thank you. I know. It's hard to get

Bill Hater in things these days, especially when you're married to him.

But, yeah, so we have the soccer mom driving around town, dropping her kids off to and from soccer practice, making Bill Hater pick up her dry cleaning.

So she's a busy mom on the go. I loveikowsky plays Jeannie Tate, and she wrote it with me, and it's amazing.

But Aubrey Plaza, who was in the to-do list, I was actually in that web series.

And Aubrey and I go way back.

We met at improv classes at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York, and we met there,

and I cast her in the web series and had her in mind the whole

time I was writing the to-do list.

Did you?

She was always going to be your brandy.
