Topic 1: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Review
Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them is the latest entry in the Harry Potter franchise. It’s based on the 2001 book written by JK Rowling, under the name of fictitious author Newt Scamander. The book is 128 pages long, but it’s the jumping off point for five -- that’s right FIVE -- movies. I’m starting to think that Peter Jackson was showing restraint by making only three movies out of The Hobbit. Eddie Redmayne stars as Newt Scamander, who travels to 1920s New York City with a briefcase full of fantastic beasts. Of course, some of the creatures escape, and it’s up to Newt, a no-maj (also known as a muggle) named Jacob, a disgraced auror Tina and her oracle sister Queenie to find the creatures. Oh, and there’s a bunch of other stories, too, including an anti-magic crusade lead by Samantha Morton, Jon Voight as a newspaper baron with a son running for congress and Colin Farrell as a wizard investigator who is hunting a dangerous wizard … or is he? There’s a lot to discuss.
Topic 2: Legacy of Harry Potter - Is it a universe in search of a story?
Topic 3: Dorking Out Studios
Chris and Sonia imagine the movies, TV shows, etc. we’d greenlight if we were studio heads.

Show Rundown: In this week’s episode, we talk about The Walking Dead. We’re not watching it. But everyone else is, so we’re going to talk about it with Peter Brown, associate editor of Assignment, and use it as a jumping off point to talk about what it’s like to not be watching the show everyone else loves. In our second segment “I Should Be Working On It Right Now,” we chat about the books we should be writing. And Peter Brown comes back for our third segment - a roundtable discussion about some of the new trailers that came out last week, including Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, The Arrival and more.
