“Is it difficult to stay in a comic place when when you’re topless on set?” one reporter asked star Amanda Peet, part of the core foursome that also includes Mark Duplass, Melanie Lynskey and Steve Zissis. Peet offered about as sharp of an answer as any after being asked about her own nudity while on stage in a room of hundreds.

Jay Duplass elaborated on Peet’s light attitude on set. “When were about to shoot that boob scene, someone was in the other room screaming, ‘Who wants to see some 42-year-old boobs?'”
The line of questioning may, however, have offended one on stage. “I showed my balls,” joked Mark Duplass, “and nobody is asking about that!”
