This week on Hype, Selina, Andrew and Marama tackle Age of Ultron, Star Wars and Suicide Squad news (as always), talk Mad Men and Game of Thrones, plug self-published books and hype up our most unpopular opinion pieces!
How We Hype:
– Andrew is still reading Ready Player One
– Selina is catching up on self-published book reviews
– Marama has seen Pitch Perfect 2!
News:
– Martin Freeman joins Captain America: Civil War. Amazing news, or too much of a good thing?
– Age of Ultron spoiler alert! (Skip 3 mins ahead if you haven’t seen it yet.) Joss Whedon shot a happier ending scene for Quicksilver
– Black Widow gets her own Marvel movie in SNL parody starring Scarlett Johansson. We love it, obvs
– Josh Trank leaves Star Wars anthology film, and it’ll be all about Boba Fett!
– New pictures from The Force Awakens reveal Kylo Ren, and more importantly, Captain Phasma
– The first shot of the Suicide Squad cast did not sit well with fans
– Jeff Daniels joins Allegiant, as does Bill, Stellan and/or Alexander Skarsgard
– Josh Gad explains why Beauty and the Beast will blow people’s minds, but will it? One listener is worried…
– Indiana Jones film coming at some point. Could anyone but Chris Pratt take on this role?
– Revenge has (finally) been cancelled by ABC
– A Friends reboot is officially never gonna happen, Selina flashes back to her childhood
– JK Rowling apologizes for Fred’s death. It’s too late to ‘pologize, Jo.
TV Show of the Week:
– Game of Thrones as usual, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (might not be so unbreakable?), and Mad Men!
Hot On Hypable:
We’ve got a lot of Avengers features this week, and they’re all super unpopular (…or just ballsy?). Also plugging some TV articles, and more.
Listener Feedback:
Everyone’s reading Ready Player One, basically.
