Brett Goldstein and Neil Goldman are two of the key voices behind the new Apple TV+ series, "Shrinking." Goldstein is the co-creator of the show with his "Ted Lasso" pal, Bill Lawrence, and Goldman executive produces with his past "Scrubs" collaborator. Together, Goldstein and Goldman wanted to produce a comedy about therapy. The story follows a therapist (played by Jason Segel) in a spiral and suffering from grief. 

Goldstein, who hosts the excellent "Films to Be Buried With" podcast, wants laughs without ever poking fun at therapy. As Goldstein and Goldman told us, they have nothing but respect for the process and profession. It was important for that to ring loud, clear, and true in "Shrinking." Recently, the two writers told us how they worked with consultants to ensure authenticity, as well as why the classic comedy "Airplane!" holds up after all these years.
