| 0:37.2 | We're going to be talking about |
| 0:38.3 | this new Harry Potter HBO TV series, and there's a lot to discuss here. This has created |
| 0:43.5 | a fire on the internet. We're going to be talking about Black Snape and the race swap that's |
| 0:49.8 | now happening on this show that really switches up the storyline. That's going to tie in a little |
| 0:54.1 | bit to a Bridgeton episode we did this week, or they did a red, uh, happening on this show that really switches up the storyline. That's going to tie in a little bit |
| 0:54.3 | to a Bridgeton episode we did this week, where they did a race lesbian swap on the show, |

| 2:01.6 | We don't go out of our way, I feel like, to talk about the trans stuff and the race swaps, but I feel like it just keeps happening in culture. So here we are. It really does. I mean, tomorrow we have an episode about like a trans lawyer freaking out in court. This just so happens to be the week where this news is popping up. up. But first we're going to start with the Harry Potter remake, which you guys know how I feel about remakes. I'm over the remake Hellscape that we're in right now.
