Mischief Managed Podcast: Your recommended dose of Harry Potter nonsense

Where is the Greater Good?

Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! We begin the episode with Holiday wishes and a big serving of humble pie to two of the Messrs. Too much confidence is a dangerous thing. Next it's on to a Meet your Messrs question that has been a bit mutated. We answer which X-Men-esque powers featured in CoG would we choose: Maledictus, Legilimency, or impenetrable shield charm (but for evil). Laura knows what she wants, Katie is a good influence, Craig is good at trivia, and Kate likes Katie best. Then we continue to our Topic, a Character spotlight on Dumbledore and Grindelwald in Crimes of Grindelwald. We chat about casting, acting, plot, blood pacts, and more nonsense. Then it's on to a festive Quizzle, a Help-ful Cast Away, a Piggy Slytherin, and a Be/Banish/Befriend that is Fantastic.

Neckbeards, ahoy!

One million spoilers await you, ye who enter here! Welcome to our spoiler review of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald. To break the ice, we chat about the Lion King and the sneak peak of Wizards Unite. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question, which new character made the biggest impression, good or bad? Craig's is an unknown menace, Katie's is in the eye of the storm, Kate is being nice, and Laura likes things, too. Now it's on to the big one: The spoiler review. We take a long time and it feels like we barely scratch the surface of our feelings towards this movie. There are many gripes to be aired and some shining hopes along the way. Guard your heart. Here there be feels. We forgo the usual segments because we talked for hours! You've been warned.

Crantastic Grimes!

We are trying, but failing, to be human. So we are beasts instead. We begin by catching up with Craig about our Philosopher's Stone movie review and chatting about possible Harry Potter tv shows in the future. Then we move on to our Meet your Messrs question of the day, "Which side character from FBaWtFT do you want to see in Crimes of Grindelwald?". Katie's is mysterious, Craig breaks his own rules, Kate wants a witch hunt, and Laura goes for the cuteness. Now we move on to our Topic, revisiting Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them before seeing Crimes of Grindelwald. We chat about casting politics, deathly Hallows, and hope for the future. Then it's on to a trap Quizzle, a hybrid merc Slytherpuff, a witchy Cast Away, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is all about the jawline.

That ham, though.

Welcome back to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! Craig is a sick boy, so the lady-messrs are out to play. And by play, we mean talk about Sabrina. We chat about upcoming Quidditch regionals and a certain legalization that occurred in our homeland. Next it's on to our Meet your Messrs question, where we give you a little teaser about our favourite and least favourite thing in the first Harry Potter movie. Craig calls in sick, Laura's is up our Alley, Kate's got crushes, and Katie likes it by the book. Then, we move on to our first in this series of movie reviews. We talk about the Philosopher's Stone, how we first saw it, how our perspectives have changed, what happened to the Potions riddle scene, and Dumbledore's mic drop. If you're anxious to hear the play-by-play, subscribe to our Patreon for our Philosopher's Stone commentary (arriving soon!). After that, we move on to an on-theme Cast Away, a Friendly Slytherin, an Un-Purr-rated Character, and a Kindly Marry/Boff/Kill variant that will give you new life.

Imitation is the highest form of laziness

It's time for a spooky, Halloween episode of Mischief Managed! We chat about couches and leaked games before continuing on to our Meet your Messrs question, "What character are you most afraid of?". Kate's is obscure, Craig would rather deal with snakes, Katie's is an Edgar suit, and Laura's is way too real. Next it's on to our Topic, where we each spin the tale of our Favourite Murder in the Harry Potterverse. This is a completely new idea and definitely original. Craig's is an enigma, Katie's fills you with for-Bode-ing, Kate's is an epic saga, and Laura teaches valuable lessons. Then it's on to a charming Quizzle, a Community Cast Away, a feline Slytherin, and a Classic Be/Banish/Befriend. Happy Halloween!

Protego my Eggo

We're back! We're all of us back! And there's a brand new Fantastic Beasts trailer to talk about. We discuss our fears, our hopes, and a newly revealed snake-woman. Then, it's on to our topic: Defending maligned characters in the fandom. Craig is Corn-y, Katie is basic, Kate likes Riddles, and Laura has a soft spot for goons. Then it's on to a familiar but elusive Quizzle, a Marry/Boff/Kill/Drinking Buddy that is indefensible, and an interview with Toronto Quidditch players.

Embrace the Viscosity

Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast. Kate is mysteriously absent and that leaves two empty, human-shaped husks, and a very sick Laura. We're doing fine, guys. No need to send help. None, at all. We kick off the episode by talking about the Transfigured Town festival in Blyth, Ontario that we'll be attending THIS WEEKEND! Bonnie Wright will be there and Craig will officially get older. We also make a super cool segue from discussing Evanna Lynch's Dancing with the Stars debut, to our Meet your Messrs question: Which character/actor would you pick as your DWTS partner? Katie has a pity pick, Laura's is good at things, and Craig is in it to win it. Then it's on to our Topic which is all about Lavender Brown. We chat about femininity, casting controversy, and being embarrassing. Next it's on to a Canadian Content Cast Away, a Dead Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that'll drive you off the deep end.

If you like it than you should have put a Gringott it! - @TheHomelyBaby

Here's Ethan back from Vacay comin' at cha with the description for episode 70... Episode 70? Are they serious? How long have I been gone? Have they talked about me at all? Anyways, I'm happy to be back and so are three quarters of the crew. Laura had dragon dung samples to work through and then Kate has to disappear. She reappears later through the magic of editing! We start with our Messrs fawning over being invited to a glamorous 1 year anniversary party for CurioSA. They promise it won't go to their heads seeing as they have a pretty big fudge up that needs to be addressed. Moving on to Meet Your Messrs. What is everyone's favourite quote? Mine's "Hagrid!" - Hermione. And as for everyone else lets just say it was a head master, I mean head scratcher... On to our topic which you can bet your bottom Knut is all about Gringotts! Are there other banks? Investment opportunities? Do Goblins buy lunch? With all of those important questions pondered, they one up the sorting hat by sorting a baby into Slytherin! Sometimes I think they've gone made with power... Then they dig deep in the vaults (HA banking joke) for a Be, Banish, Befriend that'll have you saying, "that's not a Marry, Boff, Kill!"

Nobody's Prefect

Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast. We have a special guest, our lovely Tess returns and brought an suspiciously quiet Thom along. We chat about some new Harry Potter questions that occur to us in these autumn years. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we try to assign a genre of music to our respective Houses. Tess uses her wit, Laura is deeply angry and smart, Craig skips, Katie smashes ladies, and Kate fights for her rights. We continue (as you knew we would) to our topic of the episode: Percy Weasley. We chat about his family life, emotional intelligence, and Kate breaks out in emotions. Then, we FINALLY do a quizzle again now that all four Houses are present. There's a Trek-ish Cast Away, a Gossipy Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill you'll really get to chomp through.

Hey everyone, it is the Mischief Managed. Kate is not here again today, but we soldier on, bravely. So of course, we begin the episode with a brutal fight to the death. Then it's on to a Buzzfeed quiz that we use as our Meet your Messrs question: Which Death Eater/Order of the Phoenix combo are you? Laura is old, Craig is underrated, and Katie is secretly Kate. Then it's on to our topic which is all about Astronomy class. What do they learn? Why do they learn it? Can Wizards and Witches claim Mars as their own? Next it's on to a Cast-Away that is nice for Laura, an Incredible Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that's double trouble.
