MOVIELINE: Some of the strangest sequences I think I’ve ever seen are in your movie. Some scenes felt like fever dreams almost.

JARED: Our kids have fevers right now, man. But they vocalize their fever dreams.

JERUSHA: We need to start writing down what they say!

How do these ideas percolate between the two of you? Especially the stranger ones.

JARED: A lot of them are childhood ideas.

JERUSHA: And the stranger ones don't necessarily happen in a plot sequence. It's more like we have this funky idea, and then we just pop it in.

JARED: But the Battle Stags — those are ideas I had as a kid, or drawings I'd have in my Trapper Keeper in school. The flesh pocket' idea is an idea that actually came from Jerusha's cousin, that when people go to Heaven, they’re going to be naked. But where do you put your hands? Well, you’re going to have flesh pockets.'"
