Jhonen: Yeah, there’s no disguising the influences here.

*laughs*

Jhonen: Eh, I’m an Aliens fan.

Jhonen: How frustrating is it, Kevin? Like, asking yourself afterwards how many zillions of episodes-

Kevin Manthei: Yeah.

Jhonen: If I’m doing something that sounds-

Kevin Manthei: While I’m hearing the music.

Jhonen: Well, not just that, but, “Does this sound like what I did in that other episode?”

Kevin Manthei: Right, sure.

Jhonen: How many variations on action and screaming monster can you get? Especially on this show? 

Kevin Manthei: That’s true. I mean, there’s all kinds of issues. There’s, you know, I have deadlines. I want to keep the music similar to other stuff because it’s, you know, cohesive element of all the music sounding similar because it’s Invader ZIM. At the same time, you wanna feel like you’re doing something different and original. So, you got all those elements.

Kevin Manthei: Basically, I just try to work fast and do something cool every time, and, well, sometimes it comes out better than other times.

Jhonen: Well, you usually get at least one seriously memorable thing and then build on it. And then, the rest can be just sort of spot music here and there. 

Kevin Manthei: Right. Yeah. 

Jhonen: Sort of like, well, you’re lucky if you can get, like, a funny joke. In my case, I’m happy if I get a funny joke across.

I was re-watching some episodes of iz and got to the episode were everyone got lice, and I just love how the lice queen has the same kind of cut in her upper lip as screwheads have.
