Episode 199: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (with Jennie Lee)

We’re back in the Wizarding World yet again talking about a truly dreadful one this time. What good is a universe of wizards and fantastic beasts if everything is drained of color and everyone is miserable? If you were planning to escape the real world for two hours while watching Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, you’ll be sadly disappointed to find there’s a lot of events and quotes spoken verbatim from our real life in this movie than you’d expect. So grab your cool stick and put that blood troth around your neck as we’re going back to Hogwarts (briefly) to discuss the movie with returning guest Jennie Lee, as well as how Newt has become a neutered version of Ash Ketchum, Jennie’s insane “hear me out”, and our own potential coup with our 200th episode poll of which we’ll detail the results. You don’t want to miss this one!
