In this supersized Hype Podcast episode, we tackle controversies! J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world texts and the Ghostbusters trailer both get the hosts talking, and in the TV section we talk Lucifer, Damien, Game of Thrones, and much more.

How We Hype:
– Pam watched Knight of Cups
– Marama celebrated International Women’s Day by watching Tiny Feminists, and recommends The Sidekicks by Will Kostakis

– Kristen is sad to report that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is leaving Sandman
– In happier news, J.K. Simmons is Commissioner Gordon in Justice League!
– The Han Solo movie is actually the Chewie-and-Han movie
– We have THE BEST suggestion for young Han Solo. It’s so good, you’ll forget the actor is actually in his 30s. A hint: Selina suggested him
– Mark Hamill is a-ok with non-straight Luke, and we’re a-ok with Mark Hamill
– While the international Ghostbusters trailer is better than the first, Marama still takes issue with the stereotypes of Leslie Jones’ character
