After years of waiting, we’ve finally seen it! J.K. Rowling’s ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ roared into theaters this last weekend and we sat down to talk about all the amazingness in our 18th episode. Join us as we share our favorite characters, beasts and scenes in the film. We also hit on some of the things the movie could have done better and we — of course — throw a bit of speculation in as well. After the many months of anticipation, there’s no denying it: this is one episode we looked forward to recording for a very long time!

In this episode…

• We jump right into the Fantastic Beasts discussion!
• Did we like the movie? Did we love the movie?
