Episode #105 – Welcome to Ilvermorny

Hosted by Selina Wilken, Pamela Gocobachi, Kristen Kranz

June 30, 2016

Hype 105 discusses the new Ilvermorny information from Pottermore, the Oscars’ diversity issues, the Game of Thrones finale, Darth Vader’s role in Star Wars: Rogue One, and more.

Another week, another Hype, this time bringing back Selina, Pam and Kristen for some in-depth Ilvermorny discussions, music news, reviews of movies and books, and a fun wrap-up story (because embarrassment is always fun).

How We Hype:
– Selina has read Patrick Ness’ The Rest of Us Just Live Here, and recommends the Buffy season 3 finale
– Kristen liked Independence Day: Resurgence more than most reviewers
– Pam can finally share her Swiss Army Man thoughts, and she loved it.

News:
– Pottermore reveals Ilvermorny backstory, sorting quiz. How do the houses compare to Hogwarts’?
– A new Fantastic Beasts trailer is probably coming with The BFG this weekend
– Rihanna’s “Sledgehammer” debuted with the new Star Trek trailer
– James Earl Jones is reprising his role as Darth Vader in Star Wars: Rogue One
– Our new favorite movie, Tetris, is gonna be a trilogy
– Netflix will make Gilmore Girls available worldwide starting July 1, which is lucky since Selina still needs to catch up
– It’s official: Game of Thrones has no more than 15 episodes remaining. This is very sad
– Pam celebrates Preacher‘s season 2 renewal
– The Academy has announced a “diverse” new Oscars voting class. Hmmm
– Harry Styles signs solo with Columbia. Yay or nay?

TV Show of the Week:
– The biggest TV show of the week is obviously Big Brother, wink wink
– Pam is watching Prison Break for the first time
– We all gush about the Game of Thrones season 6 finale!

As always we wrap up the show with Listener Feedback, in which we discuss Fantastic Beasts diversity, the global availability of Harry Potter, and Ilvermorny sorting results, and Selina shares a traumatizing story of the time she tried to cosplay as Buffy with disastrous results.
