Mythic Quest Follows Up Best Quarantine Ep. of TV with Their Most Ambitious Season Yet
October 11, 2022

It will probably go down in television history that Mythic Quest pulled off the best, most engaging episode of TV that was shot remotely due to COVID-19 lockdown. So many shows tried and missed the mark, but leave it to Rob McElhenney to figure that one out right before he inspired all of North Wales with gifting Wrexham a dream football team with Ryan Reynolds and make a whole other show about that.

Season 3 of Mythic Quest is just due out a month from now and, by the likes of the scale of this trailer, you’d have no idea that Rob was co-chairman of a Welsh football team. These upcoming episodes will see the original creators of the Mythic Quest game take on the company they left high and dry. Apparently, there’s a tank in this season?

See all of that for yourself here with the season 3 Mythic Quest trailer, then look for new episodes to begin streaming on Apple TV+ starting Fri. Nov. 11th.

Mythic Quest Season 2 Gets Its First Full Trailer

Mythic Quest is one of a growing number of series that is legitimizing Apple TV+’s place as a streaming service in the streaming wars. Taking the energy and verve of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and putting it into a video game studio has been a more than refreshing departure from the litany of fish-out-of-water sitcoms that get marched out and subsequently cancelled every TV season.

Even taking on a “very special episode”/dramedy tone for their quarantine episode, creators Rob McElhenney and Megan Ganz have conjured up a lovable cadre of very flawed misfits (some are lovable in spite of their shortcomings) in Mythic Quest that we’re genuine want to follow into whatever chaos they rustle up.

Thankfully, season 2 is just around the corner (May 7th on Apple TV+) and you can get your first full taste of what’s to come here.

Rob McElhenney Says “We’re Going to Keep Doing It Forever If People Keep Watching” in Regards to the Future of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”

Rob McElhenney Says “We’re Going to Keep Doing It Forever If People Keep Watching” in Regards to the Future of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”

While at over 150 episodes and 14 seasons deep, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia stands as sort of a marvel in a day and age where making it to even six seasons as a TV series is considered to be rarefied air. The dark sitcom that started so bare bones that it often shot multiple episodes simultaneously has built a veritable empire and certainly launched the careers of Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, and Kaitlin Olson as well as brought Danny DeVito into a whole new wonderfully despicable role.

To hear that McElhenney say that they’ll keep it going so long as people watch is interesting as the simplicity of “the gangs” dynamic leaves a wide open canvas for so many storylines and arcs. Just imagining what season 25 or 30 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia does have us curious and, if McElhenney makes good on his word, maybe they’ll beat out Gunsmoke’s record of 480 episodes. 

Watch Rob McElhenney Become an Ego Maniacal Game Designer in Trailer for “Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet”

It’s hard to not watch this trailer for Apple TV+’s new comedy Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet and think of It’s Always in Sunny Philadelphia (it gets posted as a credit) and imagine the episode title reading “Mac Ruins a Video Game Franchise”. 

What’ll be interesting to see here is how much of those It’s Always Sunny sensibilities stay intact for this series over at Apple TV+, who we’re sure are doling out big bucks to produce this show and snag the likes of McElhenney and company and are definitely a different beast than FX. 

Also, it should be noted that Aparna Nancherla gets to show off how great she plays an apathetic employee once more. Hopefully, that happens plenty during the whole show. 

Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet premieres on Apple TV+ on Feb. 7th.

Mac, Dennis, Charlie, Dee, and Frank are all at it again for season 11 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

What are we exactly referring to by “it”?

Well, by now, you should know that it is whatever the worst thing is, it is the gang trying to one up that. 

See for yourself in this upcoming season’s teaser, then look for the season premiere on Wed. Jan. 6th on FXx.

Rob McElhenney Set To Direct a “Minecraft” Movie

(via The Wrap)

If you’re thinking that this is like when Chris Miller and Phil Lord took on making a movie out of LEGOs, note that LEGO Movie producer Roy Lee is set to produce this adaptation.

Our last post did feature a parody trailer of a video game film adaptation gone wrong. Yet, we have a little trouble being skeptical of It’s Always Sunny in Phliadelphia’s Rob McElhenney taking on directing an adaptation of the mega successful video game franchise, Minecraft.

The irreverence and brashness of It’s Always Sunny, which Rob not only starred in, but created and wrote, leads us to believe that McElhenney could make a damn fun Minecraft movie.

Maybe they’ll build a lair for Dayman and Nightman?

The Cast of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Show That They Have Tattoos Just Like Their Fans

OK, Charlie, Mac, Dennis, Dee, and Frank are probably a little more extreme than their fans, but that’s why the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia loyal love them so much.

Certainly, there’s a similarity in the types of tattoos that the cast and fans of the show get, but, true to form, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, and Rob McElhenney go a little further than their fans.

Watch them show off while on Conan here.
