It may seem hard to believe, but in the mid 90s, wizardry was far from a common theme in movies and/or literature. But once British author JK (Joanne) Rowling introduced her first novel about a young wizard named Harry Potter, and the soon to be series was followed by copycats, you couldn't escape the oncoming copycats and anticipated announcements of release dates. Not to mention the phenomena. The series launched the careers of Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, as well as made a ton of money at the box office. Yet, I was (mostly) not among those who were taken into the world of Hogwarts. So how will I and my co-hosts react to the eight Potter and two Fantastic Beasts films?

After having my co-host Matt Goudreau go more than two years on this podcast doing series of my choosing, I thought I'd reward him for his hard work by choosing one series he'd been wanting to do for years. Enter Harry Potter, a series that is near and dear to his heart. To accompany him on his journey, he has brought myself and my announcer Adam Bunch. To start, we look at Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. A movie that has a reputation of being a good way to start a series, but kind of disappointing as it (and its stars) have aged. How will we feel about it?

Listen below as we pick up our first of ten broomsticks dedicated to the Wizard inhabiting phenomena. And keep checking back, as this series will continue twice a week until they are done, with a few surprises thrown in between.

It's the return of the 4 hour show with The Winstons!

A couple of us saw A Star is Born (got Gaggs?).  The Endless, American Animals, Slice, Hotel Artemis, and Netflix's documentary on Quincy Jones is reviewed.  Some asshole named Ammon reviews Mandy during Google Voice.  Channel Zero is good.  Mayans (Youans) is compared to Animal Kingdom, Ozark and Jason Bateman get shit on, and we all yell at each other because we're drunk assholes.  So just another BingeCast.

In what has become a yearly tradition, Binge Media was invited to Columbia, Missouri (Visit Columbia, MO) to cover the Roots N Blues N BBQ festival.  The festival has quickly become one of my favorites.  From the amazing food, to the amazing bands and musicians, to that good ol' Midwestern hospitality, RNBNBBQ is the chillest festival I've ever been to.

Chris Prunckle, my old buddy  from Wannabe The Comic, joins me in recapping each day of this year's festivities, including our highlights and who we thought won this year's festival.
