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. Thanks for listening and...HUZZAH!!
