Will we ever agree on Arthur Weasley’s DILF status? Why are Courtney and Ryan Pitfull fans? Is Gary Oldman the best thing to happen to these movies?

- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) & the Goblet of Fire (2005)We continue our rewatch of the Harry Potter series as we graduate into the “darker” Potter films — 2004’s The Prisoner of Azkaban and 2005’s The Goblet of Fire!Special guest Ryan Chollet again joins us as we hit all the highlights: dissecting Azkaban’s time travel; noting how the Hogwarts staff regularly and carelessly places their students in harm’s way; we get sidetracked on how the wizard global economy functions; we are forever confused at Michael Gambon’s performance as Dumbledore; and we praise how the films step up their game with performances, cinematography, and dramatic stakes, even as they strain at times adapting so many pages into 2.5 hour movies.You can reach the podcast at--Email: [email protected]Instagram: @wifewatches1 hr 20 min
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) & the Chamber of Secrets (2002)We’re taking the journey through Platform 9 3/4 and revisiting the first two installments of Harry Potter, more affectionately known as The Columbus Years: 2001’s The Sorcerer’s Stone and 2002’s The Chamber of Secrets!Special guest Ryan Chollet joins us as we detail our relationship with the Potter books and movies (including Courtney’s suspicious avoidance of Potter growing up…); we wonder why a school for children is constantly life-threatening and debate the DILF-status of Arthur Weasley; and we discuss the difficulties of adapting these books into movies—resulting in odd pacing and bland cinematography, yet successfully establishing the world and a cinematic foundation for one of the most popular film franchises of the last 25 years.You can reach the podcast at--Email: [email protected]Instagram: @wifewatches53 min

- Spider-Man 2 (2004)Frequent guest Ryan Chollet joins us to revisit a crucial milestone in the rise of comic book movies, and a perfect encapsulation of the what the superhero genre has to offer: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2!We praise Raimi’s ability to balance a story brimming with pathos and heart with spectacular, show-stopping set pieces; we reflect on Tobey Maguire’s performance and characterization versus the several Spider-Men we’ve had since; and examine the elements that make Spider-Man such a relatable and enduring character for nearly 60 years.You can reach the podcast at--Email: [email protected]Instagram: @wifewatches1 hr 17 min
