Episode #73 – Oh No-Maj!

Hosted by Selina Wilken, Marama Whyte, Tariq Kyle, Pamela Gocobachi

November 11, 2015

Gotta catch ’em all this week as we break down ALL the many many news stories for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Our resident James Bond fan gives her review of Spectre, and there’s also room for some Star Wars fangirl- and boying. In TV news, we cover the latest Jessica Jones trailer and the return of Elementary, and also talk Disney, Finding Dory and The Little Mermaid!

How We Hype:
– Pam reviews Spectre — spoiler alert: she liked it!
– Marama recommends Kate Winslet’s new movie The Dressmaker
– Kyle has finally listened Hamilton… well, half, anyway.

News:
– The biggest story this week is Fantastic Beasts: we now have a synopsis, character breakdowns, stills, and… that No-Maj thing
– There’s a teaser trailer for Finding Dory which is all kinds of a-Dory-ble
– There’s also an Alice Through the Looking Glass trailer, which Kyle is excited about for some reason…
– Star Wars! The Japanese trailer for The Force Awakens and the first TV spot revealed enticing new footage, which leads into an interesting discussion about whether or not you need to watch the original movies and/or the prequels before Episode VII
RIP Daniel Fleetwood, the terminally ill Star Wars fan who thankfully got to see The Force Awakens before he passed away
– Chloe Moretz has been cast as The Little Mermaid, which is a somewhat surprising choice in our opinion
– Now that the World of Warcraft movie has its first trailer, one of our hosts comes clean about their past addiction to the game!
– The Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer movie sounds amazing
– The second trailer for Netflix’s Jessica Jones is much better than the first
– And finally, FX has renewed American Horror Story. Will Lady Gaga return?

TV Show of the Week:
– Pam has binged Aziz Ansari’s Master of None, and so should you
– Marama’s beloved Elementary is back!
– Selina’s still watching Arrow… and she likes it now, phew.

As always, we wrap up Hype Podcast with Hot on Hypable and Listener Feedback! Some of our favorite articles this week were Danielle’s “Fandom fatigue and how to deal with it,” and Ariana’s “Why J.K. Rowling needs to make Albus Severus a Slytherin.”
