This week, Hype Podcast brings you early reviews of A Monster Calls and Hidden Figures, new information about Beauty and the Beast, lots of love for The Mindy Project and much more.

– And finally, Selina had access to new Beauty and the Beast footage, including samples of some of the songs.

News:
– Beauty and the Beast also had a trailer out, full of beauty (and a strange-looking Beast!)
– The Han Solo spinoff has added Emilia Clarke, but chill, we don’t yet know which role she’s playing

– The 100 season 4 finally has a premiere date
