Premise
editThe series follows Joe Quesada, executive vice president and creative director of Marvel Entertainment, as he explores into the stories and creative drives of storytellers from various backgrounds.
A comparison that everyone knows is Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. We go on locations, but instead of food or culture being the focus, the focus is a guest, the way they tell stories, and their story.
— Joe Quesada[3]

Production
editDevelopment
editJoe Quesada took the idea where he interviewed Charlie Cox in 2017's San Diego Comic-Con and pitched it to Disney+ and they green lit as the series.[3] In July 2020, Marvel Entertainment announced that the series moved from Disney+ to its YouTube channel and will premiere on July 23, 2020.[4]
Filming
editJoe Quesada made the series practicipatory rather than one on one interviews. In the episode with Ed Viesturs, Joe went on "high altitude" mountain climbing in Idaho Mountains.
The results are sometimes hilarious, if you want to see me face-plant in the snow several times with a mountain climber, you get your wish.
— Joe Quesada[3]
Guests
editThe first season hosted 12 guests. The marquee names include Hugh Jackman, Robert Lopez, Samhita Mukhopadhyay, Johnny Weir and Ed Viesturs.
Release
editThe series premiered on the Marvel Entertainment YouTube channel on July 23, 2020, and ran for six episodes until August 27, 2020.[1] The second season was released from November to December that same year.
