Each episode tells a standalone story, offering fresh perspectives on the culture surroundingMythic Quest.

Shalita, your character is so awesome as a comic book shop owner who’s trying to be inclusive.

The specificity of how we love things, how we race things, how we categorize things.

It really just comes because this is something that’s really precious to her.

Very, very precious.

That was so perfect.

HENDERSON: I mean, he did have to prove himself.

I think Cherry had a list of things he had to check off before he could, you know.

Are you as into it as I am?

And I feel like he looks like a lot of the people that bullied Cherry.

So it’s like this triggering moment for her.

So I think it also comes through in that way too.

That’s a cool direction as an actor to kind of bring that into your performance of it.

Have you played Magic before?

Side Quest

But I kept a stack of books.

I feel like you go in and out when you realize, Oh, you know what?

These aren’t just for kids, and you’re able to identify with some of that stuff.

DAVIS: I think there’s a space for it.

And I think it would be very funny, especially with these two ladies.

I think it would be a great show for them to pick up.

For $9.99 a month, maybe.

Maybe they sneak over to another store or something?

I don’t know, let’s see what the competition is doing.

I think there’s room for it.

Anything you didn’t get in this one that you want to see?

Let’s see what Cherry really is like in a relationship.

HENDERSON: I don’t know.

That would be something weird and geeky to her, in her world.

GRANT: What a concept!
