News:
– Staying with Lin-Manuel Miranda, he’s writing music for Kingkiller Chronicles, which is automatically our new favorite thing
– The new Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol II trailer is great… but is there such a thing as too much Baby Groot?
– Amy Schumer is in talks to play Barbie, which is weird and wonderful

TV Show of the Week:

– Pam is still watching and loving Pitch
– Marama’s TV show of the week is a book! The sequel to Illuminae, by author Amie Kaufman who’s been a guest host on our show!

In Listener Feedback we dive deeper into the Tina/Elder Wand theory, talk about whether trailers ruin movies, and catch up on Westworld!
