Summary: Hype Podcast dives into fall series This Is Us, Pitch and The Good Place, talks Emmys, the Patronus quiz and more. Selina and Pam share their Patronuses, break down this week’s entertainment news stories, and the podcast features a surprisingly emotional interlude in which Pam retells the story of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince. We dare you not to tear up. How We Hype: – Pam recommends Zootopia, now on Netflix – Selina went to an early screening of Deepwater Horizon News: – We react to J.K. Rowling’s Patronus quiz, and share our own and our listeners’ results – Breaking down the Emmy Awards – The Passengers trailer starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt looks amazing – Jamie Dornan will star in Robin Hood: Origins – So, about that Jumanji picture with Karen Gillan… – Netflix wants half its content to be original – There’s a female-centric Magnum PI reboot in the works – Fuller House season 2 has a premiere date – Colin Morgan joins the Oscar Wilde biopic The Happy Prince, and Pam makes us all cry TV Show of the Week: – We discuss the pilot episode of The Good Place – Selina wasn’t impressed by This Is Us – But we loved Pitch (and the twist) – Pam started watching Supergirl again, and liked it a lot more the second time around. We wrap up the show with Listener Feedback, which includes Patronus results, a note on Dumbledore’s sexuality, and much more!
