Crushing It
Episode 3 of Mythic Quest Season 3 starts with David gathering everyone in MQ for a big announcement. Montreal have just called and they want to make a movie about Mythic Quest. He’s going to be the Executive Producer, but the others are completely nonchalant about this achievement. ..
David adjourns the meeting and sends Jo down to GrimPop, intending to break the news to Ian and rub it in.
David, a movie fan, goes to GrimPop to see if there is a movie adaptation of the book. When he arrives, he finds that the movie adaptation is not happening and the fans are angry. David decides to go talk to Ian, who tells him that the movie adaptation is a good idea.
Just before David’s entry, Poppy manages to complete a hard bit of coding, Rachel shows up looking for Dana (who’s currently in VR with Ian) and encourages her to head out and celebrate her achievement. Naturally, Jo appears and begins yelling, but as she was told to take the day off, she ends up tagging along with Poppy and Rachel.
Jo is socially inept and confused by the idea of brunch. Although Poppy calls it “the brunch”, in an amusing turn of events. At the table, all three end up discussing their woes and issues, turning from a celebratory moment to tears. “So this is brunch.” Jo says, watching as Poppy and Rachel cry.
After seeing enough, Jo decides to drive them across to another State and brings them to a makeshift army base where they’re encouraged to crush a bunch of cars while driving a tank to get their anger out.
Brad and Carol, while contemplating bringing more NFTs and lootboxes into gaming, discuss how the goalposts are always changing in gaming and there was a time when people were angry about horse armour. They also discuss how Sue is a great resource for finding out more about the industry and its history.
David finally escapes GrimPop by finding a way out through Ian and Dana. They find him sleeping on the floor, and he’s also peeing all over himself. David thinks twice about bragging and gets in the elevator, leaving.
The Episode Review
Last week’s episode of Mythic Quest was strong, with the girls heading out for brunch and a little bit of videogame working. However, there was no resolution for David’s big reveal, unless that was carried over to another episode. This week’s episode seems to be more focused on the girls’ personal lives, with very little focus on Ian and Dana.
Although the laughs have been fewer this season, “The Office” is still a funny show and next week’s episode looks to get back to the shenanigans at work. ..
