On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, let's see if we can make this podcast disappear by wading into the world of magic in movies and TV. David Copperfield, David Blaine, Now You See Me, Harry Potter...wait, does that count? We head into the world of magic to discuss both our fascination with the topic, as well as where it has been done well. Also, should heist movies count in this subgenre?

Also on this episode, Kyle Nolan from NoReruns.net joins us to discuss showrunner trouble at the networks, a V for Vendetta series, Poker Face folds, Apple TVs Pluribus, and Netflix finally gets a jolt of life with Frankenstein.
