Hosted by Pamela Gocobachi, Tariq Kyle, Kristen Kranz

August 6, 2016

We’re back to catch you up on all the latest entertainment and pop culture news! Join Pam, Kyle, and Kristen as they discuss the latest news surrounding Harry Potter, Britney Spears’ brand new album announcement, Supergirl, and much, much more!

– We open the show as always with How We Hype! Kyle’s been too busy to Hype, but Kristen has seen Star Trek Beyond and 100 percent recommends it! Meanwhile, Pam is still (im)patiently waiting to see if Frank Ocean drops his forthcoming album on Friday (August 5) as promised!
– In Harry Potter news, WB has announced when we can expect the second installment of Fantastic Beasts to hit theaters, and an ominous description of the second film has us all wondering what it could mean for Newt’s journey.
– Speaking of Harry, J.K. Rowing insists she’s done with HP, but do we buy it?
– On the Disney front, it looks as though the upcoming Mary Poppins sequel starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda is adding Meryl Streep to its star-studded cast!
– The 1980s comedy Splash is the latest flick to get the gender-bend treatment and Kristen is so here for the upcoming reboot set to star Channing Tatum.
– Dylan O’Brien was finally seen chilling in public for the first time since his accident on The Maze Runner set and we’re all very happy to see him.
Game of Thronesis coming to an end but it looks like we might not have to say goodbye to the world of Westeros if HBO moves forth with spinoff plans!
Supergirl has found its superman in Tyler Hoechlin but Kyle is NOT impressed with the new promo shots featuring the Man of Steel.
– It’s Britney, bitch! The princess of pop has just announced when we can expect her forthcoming album, Glory, and we’re all super excited to step into this “new era” of BritBrit music!
– We wrap up our main discussion with a little tech news and discuss the drama surrounding Instagram’s blatant ripoff of Snapchat with Instagram Stories.
– In TV Show of the Week, we take a moment to rave about Netflix’s Stranger Things. Meanwhile, Kristen was lucky enough to catch a screener of the upcoming time traevel pilot, Time After Time.
– We wrap things up as always by reading through YOUR comments! In our feedback section, two of you point out how heavily inundated the Wonder Woman trailer is with Chris Pine, Meanwhile, Kyle and Pam talk Harry Potter fan fiction when one listener writes in asking for some recommendations!
