| 0:00.0 | What's going on? |
| 0:13.2 | And I'm D.J. |
| 0:15.6 | And this is mostly nitpicking a podcast where we pick apart pop culture by looking exclusively at the details. |
| 0:21.7 | Woo-hoo. DJ, we're back to Harry Potter. Not we're back, I guess. We've been doing it for the last couple weeks, but... We're back again. We're back again. Exactly. Guess who's back? Harry Potter. He's back too. Yeah. Imagine him in one of these movies. He should do, he should not do Venom, and he should just do the soundtrack to Fantastic Crimes of Grendelwald. |
| 0:43.8 | Because I refuse. |
| 0:45.3 | So there's a new trailer. |
| 0:46.3 | We're going to get to Goblet of Fire because that's this week's movie. |
| 0:49.1 | Order the Phoenix, but whatever. |
| 0:50.6 | Order of the Phoenix. |
| 0:51.7 | Sorry. |
| 0:53.3 | It's all good. |
| 0:54.0 | There was an unusual amount of Harry Potter news this week. There was. To at least cover it. I guess two, but two pretty big things. The first was Fantastic Crimes at Grindlewold trailer came out, which was like, I think there was already a trailer, and this is like the big kind of final trailer or second trailer, whatever you call. There were like, there were two trailers. This is the last one before the movie comes out, because the movie comes out in like a month and a half. So, yeah, this is it. We're here. What did you think of it, DJ? Um, I felt so conflicted because in, again, I didn't see the first fantastic beast, but I'm like, man, this trailer could really trick me into this being a good movie. |
| 1:32.6 | But knowing how sometimes complicated storylines in Harry Potter movies works, it could be very bad. |
| 1:37.0 | But I do like an idea of kind of seeing the wizarding world in action in the world as we know it, not just this isolated school. |
| 1:44.9 | But I feel like there's more chance for mess ups and inconsistencies because you're dealing with a lot |
| 1:50.1 | more moving parts where, and I think Prisoner of Ascavandas is very well, where if you really |
| 1:55.4 | shrink your scope and kind of contain everything, you're able to have a really good product and like very compelling moments and stuff like that. So I'm worried it's going to kind of blow up out of control. But I could be wrong. I don't know. It looks like a lot of it is going to rest on the shoulders of how believable Johnny Depp is as Grindelwald. And then Jude Law is Dumbledore. |
| 2:18.1 | That's Jewelaw, right? |
| 2:19.2 | I always get him confused with. I think so. Yeah, I think that's Jewelaw. Which one's in Captain Marvel? It's also Jewelaw? Yes. Yeah, okay. So I think if those guys work, the movie works, because I think Newt Scamander, and I have seen the first one, |
| 2:14.8 | is just good enough to hold his own movie. |
| 2:17.6 | Okay. |
| 2:18.4 | But I don't think Scamander, and I have seen the first one, is just good enough to hold his own movie. |
