Episode #60 – Hype Up Your Life

Hosted by Selina Wilken, Tariq Kyle, Pamela Gocobachi

August 12, 2015

On this week’s Hype podcast episode we freak out about Spice Girls, round up the latest Fantastic Beasts casting news, debate whether a Harry Potter TV show could ever happen, and (of course) talk Ready Player One.

How We Hype:
– Kyle is confused by Grease
– No one’s seen Fantastic Four. Should we?
– Selina sums up her Malta holiday, and the surprising fandom connections she found there.

News:
– Fantastic Beasts! Fantastic Beasts! Fantastic Beasts!
– J.K. Rowling says a Harry Potter TV series isn’t happening, but let’s get real…
– There’s a new Star Wars: Force Awakens TV spot
– Steven Spielberg eyes Gene Wilder for The BFG or Ready Player One
Sense8 has been renewed for season 2, and Kyle is super excited
– New Damien trailer! It’s super creepy. But, Bradley James
X-Men TV series moving forward at Fox. It’s basically Heroes
– Some intriguing new roles for AHS: Hotel have been revealed
– There’s a new Tolkien book coming out! Wait what?
– We cast ourselves as the Spice Girls.

TV Show of the Week:
– Kyle started watching Pretty Little Liars, and immediately had the identity of A spoiled for him
– He also watched The Astronauts’ Wives Club
– Pam watched Spotify. (Just go with it.)

We wrap up the show with Hot on Hypable (and a bonus discussion on our fantastic Hybrid Hogwarts House quiz), and Listener Feedback! One comment inspires us to make up Hype theme songs, and they are amazing. NBD.
