Alas, it’s the Questie Bestie’s final episode of the season, so you KNOW they get into it. The Besties welcome the wildly talented Mythic Quest DP, Mike Berlucchi, who dishes the tea on what it was like to shoot the visually amazing “Everlight.” The crew celebrates how incredible it was to land Sir Anthony Hopkins as the narrator, FIREBALLLLLL, and what it was like stepping out of the box with costume design and set decoration. Gotta give props to props! They also discuss Danny Pudi’s performance of Brad in “Everlight” (#EmmyForPudi). Well guys and girls (women), that’s all for this season.

Quarantine w/ Naomi Ekperigin Aug 10, 2021

OK, besties, are you ready to laugh your pants off? This week the crew brings on Questie Bestie Guestie, hysterical comedian, and Mythic Quest actress Naomi Ekperigin (CAROL!) to the show to talk about the special “Quarantine” episode. Naomi tells the gang how her experience during the Pandemmy™ taught her she could absolutely survive a zombie apocalypse and how shooting this episode in her own home was a challenge, thanks to the zoo she bought! The Besties chime in with their own horror stories of having to be both actors and cinematographers with limited resources, and how the response from the audience was awesome. Who can’t relate to the struggle of working from home?! They up and changed math and Carol can’t! You’re gonna love this one. Don’t wait! Press play and join your Besties!
