Anomaly Pictures co-founders Michael Waldron and Adam Fasullo use a movie reference to describe their first meeting, which is perfect because the Marvel and “Ricky and Morty” writer and former Intrepid Pictures exec, respectively, immediately bonded over their shared love of film and TV.

“Genuinely, I tell people, it’s the moment in ‘Step Brothers’ when they become best friends,” Fasullo told TheWrap of his and Waldron’s first meeting, which was over a spec script Waldron had written called “Heels.” While that show wouldn’t get off the ground for a few years, Waldron and Fasullo stayed close and daydreamed of one day running their own production company.
