Bonus UNLOCKED! Hewwo Mistew Scamandew Nov 14, 2018

Show notes

We watched the first Fantastic Beasts film (and read the original book) in preparation for the Crimes of Grindlewald nightmare coming down the pipe.

Episode 37: Buy More Candles Nov 12, 2018

Show notes

Goblet of Fire chapters 16-17. We recount the tale of a folk hero who bilked JK Rowling out of Starbucks money before digging into our chapters. There's a surprising amount of harpy discourse, a little dash of slavery apologia from Hagrid, and some genuinely good character drama mixed in as well. (thank god) Then we answer reddit's burning questions, and take a peek at some of the Crimes of Grindelwald reviews as they come hot off the presses! Like the show?

Episode 36: Dobby of Gor Nov 05, 2018

Show notes

Goblet of Fire chapters 14-15. This episode has it all: box office predictions! Williams-Sonoma catalogs! Ruminations on the politics of violence in fiction! Funny voices! Theories about cut characters! Serious discussions about the morality of the series' portrayal of slavery! More funny voices! Also BDSM? Yes, it's kind of a ride this week, but Goblet of Fire is a lot.

Episode 35: Oui Oui Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

Goblet of Fire chapters 12-13. The last episode of Dark Arts Month 2018 is here, and we have Halloween costumes to discuss! But before that we have the news (cursed) and our reading (surprisingly, much less cursed? Mostly?) to attend to. We have a Triwizard Tournament to introduce, a slavery subplot to tug our collars over, and French accents to botch! Like the show?

Episode 34: Get Him Off Oct 22, 2018

Show notes

Goblet of Fire chapters 9-11. We've got news! We discuss the frankly bonkers Johnny Depp interview from last week's EW and talk about snake percentages.

Episode 33: Centrist Season Oct 15, 2018

Show notes

Goblet of Fire chapters 7-8. Halloween is here! JK has been on one again, so we catch up with her Twitter antics. We also check in with Hogwarts Logic(s), Professor Snape_, and the rest of the Harry Potter Content rogue's gallery. After we check out some truly cursed Etsy glassware, we finally move on to our reading, which is... hmm. Hmm! There's some stuff this week. We defend the honor of harpies and leprechauns, discuss magical death squads, and pick at the increasingly weird worldbuilding. Like the show?

Episode 32: Whizarding Whorld Oct 08, 2018

Show notes

Goblet of Fire chapters 5-6. For the second week in a row, we're here to pick up a Pulitzer for our investigative reporting! This time it's for our role in predicting and uncovering (well, mostly just watching) the leak of a new Harry Potter video game. We have LOTS to discuss about our hopes (and fears) about the game, but first we have reading to attend to. Good news: this week's chapters are much less sociopathic than the previous ones.
