We're back and more excited than ever! With all of the recent buzz surrounding Comic-Con, we sit down and talk about the newest development in The Maze Runner and Mockingjay worlds!

That Shadowhunters Podcast
SPOILER WARNING: Mortal Instruments and Allegiant spoilers are briefly discussed in this episode. Listen at your own risk!
Shadowhunters fans are abuzz with the latest casting announcements of The Mortal Instruments television show! In our fourth episode, we talk about the hype surrounding the show and our thoughts and feelings about each cast member (this was recorded before the actress for Jocelyn was announced). We also go into the controversy surrounding some of the casting choices and talk about the diversity crisis seen in YA books.
Also in this episode...
- Addie attended YALLWEST and tells us whether or not Veronica Roth had You-Know-Who's (not Voldy's) death planned from the beginning.
- J.K. Rowling is apologizing for the deaths she forced us to endure in the Harry Potter books... It might take her a while (but not as long as George R.R. Martin).
- Promotion is underway for the Scorch Trials movie!
- Eoin Colfer says that the Artemis Fowl movie is almost good to go. We're hoping this is true.
- The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices series got new book covers! Do we like them? And just why do publishers always republish their books with new covers anyway?
- We want Scabbers to play Simon in the first season of Shadowhunters!
- Emeraude Toubia is perfect as Isabelle because of her hair. It's all in the conditioner.
- Luke is on a horse.
- We play a round of "Who Said It: Dumbledore or Gandalf?" and Ariana drops a bomb shell on us.
7th Page features writer Michael also shows up on the panel! It's a packed episode filled with all sorts of good stuff! If you're following the Shadowhunters updates then you're definitely going to want to listen to this episode.
