Mythic Quest 4x04 Recap | "The Villain's Feast" (feat. Megan Ganz & Humphrey Ker)21 Feb 202501:42:44

It's time for an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery party this week on Mythic Quest. Who's ready for "The Villain's Feast"?

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) have returned to talk about this absolute banger of an episode with the very funny and talented writers of it: Megan Ganz and Humphrey Ker! (Their adorable pug Hilda also makes an appearance in this episode. Go follow her adventures on her Instagram.)Β 

They tell us how the episode came to be, writing it together, what it was like for Megan to direct it, and share some incredible Easter eggs (that will make you want to rewatch the episode immediately).Β 

The group also talks about the two big surprises in the episode, why bringing Storm into this co-worker game night was important, Ian and Poppy's relationship this season, and so much more.

Enjoy!

P.S. You can watch Humphrey on Hulu's Welcome to Wrexham, and support Meg by watching Mythic Quest! If you're in the U.K., you can also buy tickets to Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Days of Christmas.

Episode 65: Cellular Mitosis and Seeming Finality19 May 202101:31:41

We've finally reached the end of season three, which means it's time to discuss "Introduction to Finality"! And there is certainly a lot to unpack in what could have easily been the series finale of Community.

So Jenn is joined by Kevin from Advanced Community Studies (@greendalethree) and Matt (@communiess) to discuss the Pierce/Shirley story that sees Jeff squaring off against a former nemesis, where Annie disappears to, how believable it is that the darkest timeline reappears, and what's happening in the Air Conditioning Repair School annex.

Enjoy! As we noted in the episode, we'll be diving into our Mythic Quest summer rewatch for the next few weeks (with some special episodes including our Community newbies vs. vets one), and we'll be back to discuss Community's fourth season in the fall. :)
