Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) are back one last time to talk about their beloved (and now tragically cancelled) series, Mythic Quest.

On their "Heaven and Hell" recap, they talked about that game-changing final scene featuring Ian and Poppy kissing. But now that the ending has changed, Jenn and Chels process how they feel about the original ending's erasure. They also discuss television series cancellations in general, "lost" media, what kind of precedent changing an ending of a cancelled show could create for showrunners in the future, and why people should still watch Mythic Quest even though it won't be returning for another season.

They then daydream what could have been for a season five, and end by playing a fun game of selecting currently running TV shows they'd like to transport the Mythic Quest crew into.

Enjoy, all!

Though Paige (@thoughtsbypaige) is gone this week, the rest of the reality TV and soaps rewatch crew has returned. Join Chels (@Chels725), Jesse (@speakupjesse), and Eoin (@EoinDaily) as they recap their favorite unscripted and scripted dramas.

The group talks about The Traitors first and laments how the remaining Traitors are playing a poor and messy game (and how the Faithfuls are being pretty dumb). They also discuss how they want Boston Rob out of the game ASAP. The hosts then talk about how incredible season 17 of RuPaul’s Drag Race has been — specifically the cast’s chemistry. 

They then talk about “RDR Live!” and pick which roles they personally would select and talk about how iconic The Golden Girls is. Over on the runway, the group breaks down the most exciting and most underwhelming looks. They then conclude talking about how Untucked felt like old-school Drag Race (complimentary).

While Mythic Quest has unfortunately been cancelled, that won't stop us from talking about the show's universe! So we're back this summer to unpack the four episode anthology spin-off series, Side Quest.

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) talk all about the first episode, "Song and Dance." They dissect the episode's depictions of anxiety, self-sabotage, and imposter syndrome, talk about how much they love Maude, why the episode hit them harder than they expected, and the inclusion of Ian in the plot.

Welcome back to Apartment 4D where the Nick/Jess tension and flirtation is starting to build in this week's great New Girl episode, "Pepperwood."

Jenn (@notajenny) and Jaime (@jaimepoland) have returned to talk all about a hilarious B-story involving roommate "pogos," Jess trying her best to get through to the adults in her creative writing class, Nick doing everything he can to protect Jess, a whole episode of shenanigans including Nick's alter ego, Nick constantly saying "Jessica," and also did we mention a lot of flirting?

Enjoy, all! We'll be back soon enough for "Cooler" (Part 1)!

If Yellowjackets is back, that means that your recap crew has officially returned too! Chels (@chels725), Sharai (@sharai), and Jesse (@speakupjesse) are back to recap season 3 of the show featuring their favorite little cannibals. 

This week they discuss the first two episodes of the season, "It Girl" and "Dislocation." Teen Natalie is a single mom who works two jobs, who hates her kids and never stops. Teen Shauna's dark descent continues as she brings a knife to a lip fight. The group breaks down the scenes D.A.R.E. should've been showing everyone in elementary school. 

Meanwhile, our adults are not coping with Natalie's passing. Misty is feeling guilt for the first time in her life, while Tai and Van are living the hottest toxic rom-com. Plus Shauna has to protect her family from Lottie after she leaves the facility for the differently sane.

The queens are tasked with recording and performing songs based on iconic Drag Race monologues a la "Now That's What I Call Music!" commercials. The drag delusion is thick with Joella as she pays homage to Doctor Who's Lady Cassandra on the runway. Plus, Onya Nurve continues to snatch the podcasters' hearts. 

Elsewhere, the Traitors continue to get messy and target each other. Is Danielle playing a messy game coming for Carolyn instead of Boston Rob? Did the three bro gamers ruin the game? Plus, Chrishell gives a Daytime Emmy-worthy performance after she targets a fellow Bambi.

It's our 200th episode! 🎉🎉🎉

There's really no way that we'd rather celebrate than by talking about the Mythic Quest season finale, "Heaven and Hell."

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) have a lot to say! (Jenn was an excellent secret-keeper. 🤭) They start by talking about the hilarious new role that Jo has been "demoted" to and what Brad's decision regarding Anna reveals about his character growth. 

They spend the majority of their time unpacking Ian and Poppy's relationship: how Ian talks her down from a panic attack and pushes her to go to the Netherlands, their airport goodbye, and the reveal that Ian never actually resigned from Mythic Quest.

Of course, they then walk through Ian's grand romantic gesture and that game-changing finale kiss, with Chels processing how she feels about it in real time! Spoiler alert: We really just love emotionally messy characters!

They then pitch what they'd love to see in a season five, and conclude the podcast by choosing their episode and season MVPs.

A sincere and heartfelt thank-you again to everyone who listened to us this season and who also loves this Apple TV+ show. All credit to the EPs, writers, directors, every behind-the-scenes crew member, and of course this fantastic cast for an utterly delightful season. And Apple TV+, please renew this show soon!

Thanks for listening, and we'll see you later this spring for Side Quest!

It's the penultimate episode of Mythic Quest this season, and that means a lot of characters are coming to terms with their next steps. There's a lot of FaceTime involved. It's time to discuss "Telephone"!

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) are back to discuss David's frazzled energy in this episode, the entire episode being an actual game of "telephone," a cliffhanger decision for Poppy, what Jo, Dana, and Rachel are going to do now, and the decision for Brad between love and money.

Plus, they end the episode by Jenn putting on her best poker face when she asks Chels for her finale predictions/wishlists for each of the characters.

Chels makes us rank our top two standalone episodes of the show so far and we also all discuss what is and is not a "bottle episode."

On this week's Mythic Quest episode, Ian and Poppy's relationship finally fractures as David and Rachel appear before Congress. We're talking about "The Room Where It Happens"!

Jenn (@notajenny) and Chels (@chels725) are joined by their lovely friends Sharai (A Nightmare on Fierce Street; Blerdy Massacre) and Emmy-nominated writer Alrinthea! They all discuss the Congressional hearing that went awry, Carol using Brad and Jo to solve her problem, Dana going to lunch with Ian and Poppy, and the painful, emotional Ian/Poppy fight. (Where they lament, once again, that Rob and Charlotte don't have Emmys for this show.)
