00:00:00.207 --> 00:00:01.530
- Hi, I'm Charlotte Nicdao,

2
00:00:01.530 --> 00:00:04.380
I play Poppy on Apple TV+'s "Mythic Quest"

3
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:06.207
and I'm here with The A.V. Club.

4
00:00:06.207 --> 00:00:08.790
(upbeat music)

5
00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:13.110
Who came up with Poppy's
animated hand movements

6
00:00:13.110 --> 00:00:15.030
displayed in how she gleefully says stuff

7
00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:17.193
like Dinner party?

8
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:20.100
I'm very proud to say that was me.

9
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:22.440
Obviously, dinner party
was already in the script,

10
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.080
but it was one of the
earlier episodes that we shot

11
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.090
and when I was reading
the script, I was like

12
00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:31.230
I feel like I wanna do
this every time I say it.

13
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.060
And it was early in the season

14
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:34.890
so I was kind of nervous to pitch anything

15
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:36.270
and I went in very nervously

16
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.907
and said to the co-creators
Rob McElhenney and Megan Ganz,

17
00:00:39.907 --> 00:00:42.120
"What if whenever I say
dinner party I do this?"

18
00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:43.387
And they were like,
"This is the character.

19
00:00:43.387 --> 00:00:44.610
"This is exactly right."

20
00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:45.990
I'm very glad that it's stuck.

21
00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:47.940
What's your favorite Christmas TV episode

22
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.290
or movie of all time?

23
00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:50.280
Here's what I will tell you

24
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.660
is my favorite Christmas movie,

25
00:00:51.660 --> 00:00:53.730
though people will tell me
it's not a Christmas movie.

26
00:00:53.730 --> 00:00:55.350
It's "You've Got Mail".

27
00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:57.450
I know it doesn't really
revolve around Christmas,

28
00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.960
but I think it's the
Christmasiest vibe possible

29
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:02.790
and it also has a tech vibe

30
00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:04.950
which kind of relates
back to "Mythic Quest"

31
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:06.873
so I think I've nailed that question.

32
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:11.550
Where do you hope Poppy's
journey takes her next?

33
00:01:11.550 --> 00:01:13.320
Hmm. Maybe Europe.

34
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:16.023
Oh, an island, a tropical island.

35
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:19.290
Have you ever discussed making a cameo

36
00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:21.600
in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"?

37
00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:23.130
I text Rob every day.

38
00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:23.963
I say, "Put me in

39
00:01:23.963 --> 00:01:25.470
'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.'"

40
00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:27.390
And he responds and says, "No."

41
00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:28.223
That's not true.

42
00:01:28.223 --> 00:01:29.056
We haven't talked about it.

43
00:01:29.056 --> 00:01:30.630
Maybe we should talk about it.

44
00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:32.700
Rob, can I be in "It's Always Sunny"?

45
00:01:32.700 --> 00:01:33.533
Is it time?

46
00:01:33.533 --> 00:01:34.890
Is it time for me to play

47
00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:37.731
an even worse character than
Poppy on "Always Sunny"?

48
00:01:37.731 --> 00:01:40.231
(funky music)
