You both are so wonderful in it.
JAY DUPLASS: That is a great question.
Okay, were done now!

DUPLASS: [Laughs] Yeah, cool.
But yeah, I am married.
It’s just really cool that I had this sort of taskmaster guy that I could just enter into.

His motivation was to save the person that he loves the most from dying.
That’s not what she wants right now, but he also has his own needs.
He’s good at what he does.

I think there’s so much fun stuff to explore there.
Rob, how did you approach that first scene?
Because there is such a specific vibe set up between them from the get-go.
ROB DELANEY: Yeah, I guessit’s like a meet-yuck.
DELANEY: You know, they never did.
And I’m not, by nature, a curious person, so I never asked.
[Laughs]
Jay Duplass on Working with Sissy Spacek in Dying for Sex
So fair.
Its just Neighbor Guy.
I found the dynamic between Steve and Molly’s mother, Gail, really interesting.
DUPLASS: Yeah, I’m no stranger to charming ladies' moms.
[Laughs] I’m admitting something right now.
But I don’t know.
I love my wife.
But we did have a natural rapport on set right away.
There was something really fun.
You’re Sissy Spacek.
First of all, the scripts are just written so well.
You don’t have to generate anything we know what this is.
I mean, you’re talking about somebody who’s been doing this for, what, 60-something-plus years?
And she’s in the room, andyou just feel like you’re both 11 years old goofing off.
The most insane scene I think I filmed on the show.
That was a challenge.
But the biggest one was emotional that was very taxing to do.
Rob Delaney and Jay Duplass Discuss Their Favorite Dying for Sex Lines
Absolutely.
I mean, you have both mentioned the writing, and it is just so sharp.
It has such a musicality to it that you mentioned.
I’m curious if you both have a favorite line that sticks out to you from this show.
Taint a lot of people are saying that these days.
Should we go back?
DELANEY: Now, typically you’ll hear taint, but they’re all great words.
DELANEY: Looking at Michelle being like, Grundle, and just seeing how it lands.
DUPLASS: Consensus groups.
A lot of testing.
DELANEY: Aww, thanks.
DUPLASS: I felt a tremendous history in this being a disappointment come across your face and body.
I think that’s my favorite in the whole [show], Is it disappointing?
DELANEY: Oh my god.
All episodes ofDying for Sexare now available to stream on Hulu.
