Hype Podcast discusses the latest Fantastic Beasts trailer, The Lion King remake, Pitch, Luke Cage, and all the movies Marama watched recently.

Selina, Pam and Marama are back to dissect this week’s pop culture news stories! Luke Cage is now on Netflix — add it to the list of all the shows we’re already failing to keep up with — Fantastic Beasts is drawing ever-closer, and there are some pretty cool casting announcements in the movie-world.

– Marama is all about Bridget Jones’ Baby and Star Trek Beyond, and also had a Sam Claflin love fest with Me Before You and Love Rosie
– Pam brings us up to speed with Niall Horan’s This Town and Busted’s On What You’re On
– Selina recaps her experiences — both good and bad — at Copenhagen Comic-Con.

– This Is Us has been greenlit for a full season
– The Will & Grace cast reunited for U.S. election PSA

TV Show of the Week:
– Marama reviews Luke Cage episode 1 (and Selina has a Netflix confession)

As always, we wrap up the show with Listener Feedback, which derails into a discussion about Patronuses, as Marama takes Hypable’s alternate Patronus quiz and makes a surprising discovery.
