07/06/21 • 42 min

In this episode, the Besties (and David) welcome the spectacularly intelligent and delightful Mythic Quest writer Katie McElhenney to the show! Katie wrote one of the fan-favorite episodes, “Dark Quiet Death,” and she shares so many amazing details about how it came to be! The Besties and their Guestie dig into the awesome 90s production design, how the characters contained multitudes (new fave pod word!), and Katie talks about her experience collaborating with her brother and director of the episode, Rob McElhenney. The Besties loved this recap because it was a break from seeing themselves on screen and as Imani says, they “truly just got to be fans.” You don’t want to miss this one!
