We finally get to Hogwarts in The Prisoner of Azkaban, and also finally get to the point in the book where characters inexplicably finally say the term Dementor, the chapter's titular magical being. We also finally meet Remus Lupin, wonder why hE WoUlD bE So SlEePy, talk about times we passed out, time travel, more magical vehicles, and other tangents!

Harry finally catches a break in this fourth chapter of The Prisoner of Azkaban. After running away successfully and getting to stay on his own at the chapter's titular 'Leaky Cauldron', we get to see him just hang out and have fun - there's magical creatures that are actually just real earth animals doing cute things, super inconvenient monster books, and a threat on the life of Harry Potter?! We get into it all, and also somehow find time to talk about the 90's animated movie 'The Pagemaster' because that's the kind of podcast this is.

Harry finds himself on the streets after storming out of the Dursley's house, trying to figure out what to do next and how to get there in this chapter of The Prisoner of Azkaban 'The Knight Bus' (spoilers - he gets on the Knight Bus). On this episode we talk about the missing racism of the movie in this chapter of the book, what it was like to be a scared kid, the dream-like nature of the chapter, how cool magic vehicles are, and plenty of tangents in between.

Only one more chapter into the book and we get our first glance of the titular Prisoner of Azkaban! Do we get more? If you're talking about fat shaming - then yes! This time, with more aggression! We also talk about Harry's back talk, his blackmailing, drunken aggression, and our usual tangents! It's a short chapter so it's a short episode, but its still full of that classic Magicless Myke content you know and love.

After narrowly escaping The Chamber of Secrets, we are now prepared to meet the Prisoner of Azkaban - and just in time for Harry and Neville's birthday, friend of the show Shannon and new guest-old friend Cleo join Myke to celebrate his birthday and talk about the first chapter of his favorite HP story! We get into wizarding colonialism, speculate on wizard economy, and generally talk about the classism of Hogwarts. But before all that we all get into how we got to see Harry and the Potters perform for kids at a library!

Another book down, another movie for us to watch! So for this episode we are discussing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the very bizarre, awkwardly shot and tensionless movie. Why did Alan Rickman do that thing during the dueling club? Why did Richard Harris make that face? Was Lucius trying to kill Harry at the end? Listen to our answers to all of these questions and more!

Just like our heroes after a long battle in the Chamber of Secrets, we fight our way through another late night record of the podcast and its just as condensed as the concluding chapter 'Dobby's Reward'. We talk about the John Hughes-esque ending to the book, Dumbledore (once again) being so coy about such a high stakes situation, and horcruxes of various historical figures. Hear how much Myke enjoyed reading his second book of the year!

As July winds down so does our journey into The Chamber of Secrets with this week's climactic chapter 'The Heir of Slytherin'. Harry Potter is all alone now and entering the titular Chamber to save Ginny Weasley! We get into how crazy it is for a twelve year old boy to be in this situation, how dumb Tom Riddle seems to be about magic despite having conjured up a sick ploy, and our dog Crystal finally gets on the mic! I promise its a relatively tangent free, Potter centric episode!

After our unannounced break, we're back with the titular chapter of The Chamber of Secrets, and boy are we far from home! Get it? Because we're also talking about the most recent installment of the MCU for our crossover O.G. podcast Marvel-less Marian. Joining as always is our cousin Patrick, who hosts for the first time.

We're all tired and emotional, just like Harry and Peter. We listen to TWO VERY FAMOUS AND IMPORTANT WIZARD ROCK SONGS!!!, make fun of Myke for being very wrong about Lockhart, and discuss the importance of Jake Gyllenhaal.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Review starts at approximately 1:03:00WARNING: SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN FROM THE GET-GO.

Wizards Unite! Like - come together everyone that loves Harry Potter and like loves magic, but also we talk about the new Harry Potter-Go Niantic mobile game Wizards Unite! Then we get into one of the scarier chapters (so far) of the series in this, the 15th chapter of 'Chamber of Secrets' Aragog. Listen as we talk about how cool unicorns really are, how Marian's going to get cancelled because of her jokes, and why Myke isn't really scared of spiders anymore!
