As Joseph Campbell points out, there is a "threshold resistance" to the call to adventure. A decision must be made to head out onto the road, and often it cannot be made until the hero has looked into their soul. That decision is very much on the mind of Justin and Jimmy Mac as they discuss the fateful choice to move to Los Angeles. The penultimate episode of season one, "Refusing The Call" ranges far and wide by discussing city states, the inheritors of Orson Welles, and striking the right balance between pleasing your audience and entertaining yourself.
