Wes Anderson created an intriguing film with an ensemble cast, but somehow it’s nominated for no Academy Awards this year. Join us as we discuss why and also the weird elements that make up a typical Wes Anderson and what our thoughts are on the elements of Asteroid City!

Come with us and you’ll be in a world of podcast extrodination! At least we think that’s how the words go… How does Timothee Chalamet compare to Gene Wilder? Is this ACTUALLY a good origin story for Willy Wonka? And what is up with the Noodle storyline? All questions we answer in this episode on the new musical, Wonka!

We can’t believe it’s 2024! Nor can we believe that we waited this long to discuss Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves! According to Liz it is one of the most slept-on and underappreciated films of 2023. It sounds niche, but the movie is really made for a broad audience, so don’t worry if you’re not a Dungeons and Dragons expert! In this episode, we’ll tell you all about the game, how it’s played, and of course, all about the movie! Come on this adventure with us! You won’t regret it!

Happy Christmas everyone! The 8th and final Harry Potter movie episode is upon us (we’re not crying, you’re crying…)! And there’s no other duo we’d want to ring in this momentous occasion with. We welcome back James & Anthony from the Raiders of the Lost Podcast to discuss all things Deathly Hallows Part 2. Goodbye for now, Harry Potter. We’ll see you the next time we decide to binge the movies or randomly get off topic in an episode :)

In this episode we go over Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. For more content like this be sure to subscribe to our channel. Thanks for watching “Harry Potter Marathon - Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince”!

Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince is a rollercoaster of emotions… as is this episode. We get into the excitement of Harry being an absolute beast at potions, the dismay at Malfoy being up to something (said in Snape voice) the whole movie, the surprise of Harry finally getting the girl, and the devastatingly tragic demise of a series favorite. You’ll also get way too much information about the moody cinematography and how “randomly” Ralph Fiennes’ nephew is in this movie, too! Thanks for tuning in - you’re all Princes and Princesses in our eyes <3
