Chris: Hello and welcome to Dailyish
for Wednesday, October 21st, 2026.
00:00:10.672 --> 00:00:13.924
I'm recording an episode every day
for this, my 50th year on the planet
00:00:14.324 --> 00:00:17.666
Today in Things I Love as part of
the ongoing series of things I love
00:00:17.666 --> 00:00:21.532
that happen to just mainly be TV
shows right now, but we'll, we'll
00:00:21.532 --> 00:00:25.694
get to other ground, I'm sure, I'm
recommending Vision Quest on Disney+.
00:00:26.094 --> 00:00:29.588
It's part of a trilogy of sorts,
uh, starting with, uh, WandaVision,
00:00:29.984 --> 00:00:32.484
Agatha All Along, ending
with, of course, Vision Quest.
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:34.607
As of this recording, it
has four episodes out.
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.128
I believe it's got four episodes
more, so eight episodes in total.
00:00:38.528 --> 00:00:42.725
It stars Paul Bettany as Vision, James
Spader as Ultron, and most importantly
00:00:42.726 --> 00:00:45.881
to Canadians or fans of Schitt's
Creek, Emily Hampshire, who played
00:00:45.883 --> 00:00:49.276
Stevie on Schitt's Creek, as Edith,
and a bunch of other cool actors, too
00:00:49.676 --> 00:00:53.190
You don't have to have seen anything
else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
00:00:53.352 --> 00:00:55.436
to under- to enjoy the show, I guess.
00:00:55.833 --> 00:00:57.924
Obviously, there's a certain amount
of understanding that can happen
00:00:57.924 --> 00:01:01.876
where if you've seen all of the Marvel
movies and stuff and shows, there's a
00:01:01.876 --> 00:01:06.047
lot of little lore that you can grab
onto and understand that's going on.
00:01:06.253 --> 00:01:09.438
But also, I feel like it stands
on its own pretty well, as do the
00:01:09.465 --> 00:01:10.728
WandaVision and Agatha All Along.
00:01:10.739 --> 00:01:14.169
There's definitely things and elements
from each that kind of carry over and
00:01:14.508 --> 00:01:17.955
help answer questions that you might
have had from the first or second series
00:01:17.967 --> 00:01:19.622
or from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
00:01:19.849 --> 00:01:22.922
It's not like a confusing storyline
that if you haven't seen anything
00:01:22.922 --> 00:01:25.380
else in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, this won't make any sense.
00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:29.327
I'm not sure when exactly it was produced,
but it's a very timely series in that
00:01:29.399 --> 00:01:35.928
there's a lot of conversation around the
various AI bots that are working alongside
00:01:35.977 --> 00:01:40.469
Vision, the main bot that was in, uh,
Tony Stark's armor in Iron Man and then
00:01:40.481 --> 00:01:44.271
became his own character But whether you
know James Spader from the voice of Ultron
00:01:44.285 --> 00:01:51.212
in past movies or from even his role on
The Office as Robert California, the sort
00:01:51.212 --> 00:01:57.777
of sarcastic condescending father figure
kind of voice that he lend to Ultron and
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:02.494
Robert California for that matter, plays
off really well as Vision tries to, you
00:02:02.495 --> 00:02:06.080
know, sort of save his world, save the
world around him without spoiling anything
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.706
And the other AI bots that are involved,
such as Edith, just play a really good
00:02:10.707 --> 00:02:14.974
supporting role in making it a fun
series to watch It's visually stunning
00:02:15.142 --> 00:02:19.482
in the same sense that, WandaVision
and Agatha All Along were, like really
00:02:19.507 --> 00:02:21.730
colorful, really kind of playful.
00:02:21.741 --> 00:02:26.006
Plays a lot with pop culture mixed
with the, um, you know, the bit of the
00:02:26.007 --> 00:02:29.339
superhero stuff, but that's not the
really the focus of the sh- the show.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.659
If the Marvel Cinematic Universe kind
of exhausts you with like big, you
00:02:32.659 --> 00:02:36.168
know, battles and superheroes saying
their iconic lines and all that kind
00:02:36.169 --> 00:02:37.750
of stuff, this is definitely not that
00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:41.710
Aside from the fact that it is about
an AI bot synthetic, uh, robot, I
00:02:41.710 --> 00:02:44.868
forget what they call it in the show,
it feels like a very human story
00:02:45.268 --> 00:02:47.986
I know there's too many different
streaming platforms to keep up with,
00:02:47.988 --> 00:02:53.074
and especially considering subscriptions
to said streaming platforms have gone
00:02:53.077 --> 00:02:55.835
up 150, 200% over the last five years.
00:02:56.235 --> 00:03:01.696
It's hard to keep one service, let alone
many services, uh, on your subscription
00:03:01.699 --> 00:03:05.417
queue So I wouldn't say this is like
rush out and subscribe to Disney+ for
00:03:05.418 --> 00:03:08.651
this show, But if you have Disney+,
then it's a great series to check out
00:03:09.051 --> 00:03:10.136
All right, that's it for this episode.
00:03:10.136 --> 00:03:12.359
