Welcome to Michael and Us. I'm Will Sloan, here as always with.

Luke Savage, welcome back, everyone. We're recording remotely. We are recording

on the Easter holiday weekend. I'm at my in-laws place in an isolated office in the basement.

And, you know, it's good to be someplace for the Easter weekend. Hope you all have a place to go as well.

Anyway, first order of business. I, like you, like Luke, like everyone,

have fantastic beasts and where to find them fever. Well, I actually speak for yourself. I still have

Morbius mind. You can feel it in the air. People cannot stop talking about the blockbuster new

film, Fantastic Beasts, colon, the Secrets of Dumbledore. I think

that's what it's called. That's right, folks. They put Dumbledore's name in the title. If you've seen

the poster or if you've seen billboards for the movie, you'll see that the word Dumbledore is

much bigger than Fantastic Beasts, as if to remind you, guys, guys, you remember Harry Potter?

You liked that, right?

I know you're not too into the whole Fantastic Beasts, whatever that is.

But remember, it's the same universe, guys.

You better show up to this one.

Believe it or not, I've actually seen, I think, two of the movies in this series. Because sometimes when I get together with our mutual friend, Brandon Hackett, sometimes we watch good movies, although I feel like we tell ourselves that. And I feel like the ratio of good to bad movies is maybe sort of like, you know, four to one with the bad movies winning out. And, uh, you know, bad movies are great because you can also kind of just like talk over

them. And also, it's always a good moment to just like something that's just in the air, in the

culture. You put it on in the background and then that way you've kind of absorbed it, you know,

without ever having to go to a theater or pay any money. So yeah, I'm actually sort of broadly familiar with the, well, I shouldn't say I'm familiar. I'm not up on the lore,

but I have seen the two movies while talking over them. And I being very heavily invested,

as you know, in the free Johnny Depp movement. I'm deeply invested in this third one. No, I'm just

kidding, folks. Wait, so is he in it or not? Do they cut him from it?
