Summary

This week we’re breaking down Launch Party. To kick off this two part episode, Jenna and Angela, with the help of Jen Celotta, give an exclusive behind-the-scenes breakdown of how the famous DVD-logo-in-the-corner cold open was shot. This reminds Angela of some juicy parking garage drama. We hear from Kate Flannery on how Meredith’s cast was made and Jenna realizes that Paul Reiser may be her soulmate. Angela tracks Michael Scott’s short jokes and with the help of Phyllis, we all learn how and how not to deal with difficult people. So let’s get this Lunch Party going! I mean, Launch Party.
