Episode 130: Crisis of 'Braith
Added 2020-09-18 14:48:58 +0000 UTC
Deathly Hallows chapter 18. We discuss *inhales* the Vancouver billboard, the initial Troubled Blood review that got things kicking off this week, the continued Troubled Blood reviews from The Guardian (very helpful, thanks!), the apparent pile of pre-existing Known Stuff about the Strike series, the misogyny and transmisogyny common in crime fiction generally, the Fantastic Beasts filming news, and... the announcement of Harry Potter Skyrim. On top of all that, we have a completely out of pocket chapter that pushes the already-strained boundaries of our previously well-defined cast of characters to ludicrous levels in an attempt to tell a very (even for this book) ham-handed story about Harry's crisis of faith. Crisis of 'Braith, get it? Never mind.
It goes without saying but just in case: content warning for All Of JK Rowling's Business, as well as the related shit of classic fiction like Psycho and Silence of the Lambs and so on. If you want to skip the news segment, the chapter stuff starts at 1:14:15!
P.S editing bounty!!!! I distinctly remember bumping my sound equipment and having to reconnect it, but I forgot to take a note and couldn't for the life of me remember where in this huge episode I did it, so lemme know where it is so I can cut it for wide release

So much solidarity over entering a full body bloodrage whenever I think about how ppl just took like 3 months off & then went "well we gotta start making movies again!" amidst the worst global health crisis in 100 years. El problema es el capitalismo, I cannot stress enough how much we need to violently seize the means of production and [redacted] every movie exec parody parody
