- JHP006 - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Movie Reflection
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Today we’re reflecting on the fourth movie in the Harry Potter Series. We cover topics such as:
- Azkaban’s Dental plan
- Voldemort, Tom’s most quotable character
- How both of the Crouches ticks give them away
- How Barty Crouch Jr. as Mad Eye Moody does more than just share the unforgivable curses with a room full of fourteen year olds; he reveals a great deal about their pasts as well
- Ron is the most fanboy of fanboys in this movie and holding on to a lot of teenage angst
- Considering how the Goblet of Fire would have worked as two movies instead of just one
We’ll be back again next week with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In the mean time, you can head to the link below to vote on the first Halloween movie we’ll reflect on.

2 hr 11 min - JHP005 - Disney's Mulan (2020) Reflection
It was only after recording and seeing other reviews that we realized we had such an unpopular opinion on Disney’s latest live action adaptation. Today we’re reflecting on and sharing our different perspective on Mulan (2020).
In this episode, we talk about:
- How this film is different than most Disney live action adaptations
- The introduction of new characters and adaptations of old favorites
- What we thought about the lack of musical numbers
- Whether we think it’s worth spending the $30 on this movie
We don’t want to spoil anything here! If you’ve seen the movie, check out our spoiler-filled reflection (no pun intended) of Mulan (2020).

1 hr 33 min - JHP004 - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Reflection
Things start to look very different by the time Harry gets to his third year—and only partially because Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the first film in the series to get a new director.
In this episode we talk about:
- Our thoughts on Harry being done putting up with the Dursley’s BS this year
- How this year at Hogwarts is unlike any of the others so far
- The specific musical score in this movie that stresses Kylie out
- How freaking awesome the Marauders are
- Tom’s Dementor impression
- What memory we would use to conjure our patronuses—plus what form our patronuses would take
- How, despite the fact that Harry looks like his father, he’s so much more like Sirius Black
- Fear and Happiness
- And so much more!
We’ll be back on Tuesday 9/8 with a bonus episode on Mulan (2020) from Disney Plus.
Yes, we decided it was worth the $30.

In anticipation of the release of the Mulan (2020) on Disney Plus, we have a fun bonus episode for the podcast. Today we’re talking Disney’s Mulan—the 1998 version. We’re huge Disney fans and had so much fun reflecting on this one in particular.

1 hr 24 min - JHP002 - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie Reflection
In today’s episode, we’re reflecting on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We’ve tried to rewatch the Harry Potter series so many times over the past five years and rarely seem to make it all the way through. Needless to say, we’ve watched Chamber more than we can count. This time around, we took an analytical eye to our reflection and had some insightful discussions about what we noticed during this watch.
In today’s podcast we discuss:
- Tom’s highlights and faves from DC Fandome
- The concept of legacy/fame as seen through those who crave it, those who are indifferent, and those who just want it for status
- Questioning whether Dobby was just trying to protect Harry instead of making a bigger picture effort?
- Why we appreciate Tyler Warwick for his impressions of Every. Single. Harry. Potter. Character. (Go check him out!)
- How Dumbledore pulled a Michael Scott on Harry and Ron at the end
- And so much more

2 hr 2 min - JHP001 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Movie Reflection
Today we’re reflecting on one of the first movie in one of the most meaningful series to us: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. One of the rare times Kylie was way more into the movie than the popcorn.
In this episode, we discuss
- How in 2020, Uncle Vernon would be labeled a “Karen”
- The friendship of Harry, Ron, and Hermione from train car to facing a three-headed dog
- Dumbledore’s quest for the greater good vs Harry's well-being
- How Harry’s upbringing influences his relationships
- Why Hagrid is the stand-out character of this movie (“Dry up, Dursley you great prune!”)
