Our year-long journey through the Harry Potter series continues with year three: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. After back-to-back installments from director Chris Columbus, the franchise finally spreads its wings. This is thanks, in large part, to the addition of future Oscar-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Roma).

Following our Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith episode, Jackson Smith returns for another fantasy threequel. We'll discuss how Cuarón builds on Columbus' foundation, how Michael Gambon's Dumbledore compares to Richard Harris, and why Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is widely considered the best of the series.

So hop onto the Knight Bus, work on your Patronus charms, and manage your mischief. It's time for our in-depth discussion about Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Next month, we're hitting the Triwizard Tournament for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!

SYNOPSIS

Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) third year at Hogwarts starts off badly. The teenage wizard learns deranged killer Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from Azkaban prison with a deadly mission. Hermione's (Emma Watson) cat torments Ron's (Rupert Grint) sickly rat, causing a rift among the trio. And a swarm of nasty Dementors is sent to protect the school from Black. Meanwhile, a mysterious new teacher helps Harry learn to defend himself, but what is his secret tie to Sirius Black?

This episode, we return to Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for an in-depth chat about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. In many ways, Year Two feels like the end of an era for the franchise. Director Chris Columbus left after this point, taking the warm and fuzzies largely with him. And the late Richard Harris makes his final appearance as Albus Dumbledore.

Teri Sears joins the show to help us unlock Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. We'll address why the movie is perhaps too slavish to J.K. Rowling's novel, how it marks the series' first incremental steps into the dark, and which character is shockingly devoid of much-needed development.

So brush up on your Parseltongue and tame that bloodthirsty beast if you can. Oh, and enjoy our in-depth discussion on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Next month, we're heading straight for Azkaban prison!

SYNOPSIS

The second installment of boy wizard Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, based on the novel by JK Rowling. A mysterious elf tells Harry to expect trouble during his second year at Hogwarts, but nothing can prepare him for trees that fight back, flying cars, spiders that talk and deadly warnings written in blood on the walls of the school.

Last year, we had a blast running through all nine episodes in the Star Wars saga. But now that the Skywalker has risen (kinda?), we're turning our attention to a bunch of British witches and wizards. That's right: 2020 is the year of Harry Potter. Because this year really could use a bit of magic right about now.

Bri Azmoudeh of Geeky Girl Gab joins the show to help us travel back nearly two decades -- yes, really -- when J.K. Rowling's best-selling book series first made the leap to the big screen. We'll talk about how director Chris Columbus sets the tone for the series, the young cast of then-unknowns, and what has made Harry Potter such an enduring phenomenon.

So accio podcast and enjoy our deep dive into Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

SYNOPSIS

An adaptation of the first of J.K. Rowling's popular novels about Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), a boy who learns on his eleventh birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. He is summoned from his life as an unwanted child to become a student at Hogwarts, an English boarding school for wizards. There, he meets several friends who become his closest allies and help him discover the truth about his parents' mysterious deaths.

The 2015 Judd Apatow/Amy Schumer joint, "Trainwreck," has been heralded as some sort of groundbreaking feminist triumph, but it's about as feminist as your creepy drunken uncle Lou. It's really just a disjointed hodgepodge of Amy's standup bits and sketch ideas with a romantic comedy shoehorned in.

Amy Schumer plays Amy (because, apparently, this is a '90s sitcom), a rough-talking tough New York girl who has given up on the idea of finding love and has instead settled for a series of one-night stands. Her hobbies include racism, picking on children and using her father's MS to manipulate people into thinking she's some sort of hero.

Bill Hader plays Dr. Aaron Conners, a cliche perfect guy with zero flaws who inexplicably instantaneously falls in love with this monster.

LeBron James plays a fictionalized version of himself. How do we know that? Because Bill Hader is the only member of his "posse." He's a Sunglass Hut-wearin', "Downton Abbey"-lovin', romance advice-givin' NBA superstar with nothing but time on his hands.

Tune in to find out Keating and Jim's favorite versions of Johnny Depp, to learn about about the rapid rise of STD rates amongst the elderly and to hear all about the statues created depicting Jim's dad's penis.

Matt and Dub accidentally lay out the premise for an Oscar Award winning film. This episode has been described as "irresponsible" and is extremely long and detailed. We let our ignorance shine.
