Hype Podcast talks Marvel, The 100, Outlander, Powerless, Mulan and the huge His Dark Materials news!

Marama and Selina are beside themselves with excitement this week, as the news of Philip Pullman’s new His Dark Materials series was announced. We also react to news about Disney’s Mulan, the Love Actually sequel (?!?!?), Stranger Things season 2 and much more.

DON’T FORGET: We’ve launched our Patreon, and we’re halfway to our first goal! It’s FREE to try for the month of February, so head over to Patreon.com and check out what we have to offer. This week’s bonus discussion is about Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials companion trilogy, with listener feedback and our theories about the Book of Dust.

How We Hype:
– Hidden Figures! Marama has finally seen it, and she’s seen it three times!

News:
– “PHILIP PULLMAN TRILOGY HOLY SHIT OMG I’M GOING TO DIE AHJSHAJHFK” – Marama
– Mulan gets a female director, which is awesome, but why does Hollywood not understand intersectional feminism?
– It’s official: Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be in Avengers: Infinity War. So… let’s talk about Thor!
– 16 years later, Bruce Springsteen’s song for Harry Potter has leaks online
– Dan Radcliffe would ‘think about’ reprising Harry Potter in a Cursed Child movie. But why tho.
– Hidden Figures overtakes La La Land, becomes top grossing 2017 Oscar nominee
– Thandie Newton and Phoebe Waller-Bridge are in talks to join the Star Wars: Han Solo movie
– Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 scores perfect 100 during test screenings, which is very encouraging
– We’ve got season 2 stills and a Super Bowl trailer for Stranger Things
– There’s gonna be a… Love Actually sequel?
– Marama breaks down the best, worst and zzzzz of the 2017 Grammys.

TV Show of the Week:
– Marama checked out the Powerless pilot, and wasn’t overly impressed
– Selina has watched Outlander season 1, and has mixed feelings
– We talk about our progress watching The 100 season 3, and Marama gives us a sneak peek at her rage over one particular death (and it’s probably not the one you think).
