Join Bubba (@FittenTrim) and Big C (@Caroline1475) as they tackle the 8th story of The Boy Who Lived: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child!!!

We stay 'Spoiler Free' for the first 11 minutes, then break out into a full spoiler discussion of the play. Does the play work as text to read? Is it fan-fiction? If we had a Time Turner, would we prevent the book from coming out? Is Albus a great character or does he come across as a boring Muggle compared to Scorpius?

HateWatch: EMERALD CITY: episode 1 "The Beast Forever" and episode 2 "Prison of the Abject"

Knock Knock, Who Cares? It's the debut of HateWatch as Bubba (@FittenTrim) watches 2 hours of new Oz action to see if he loves The Beast Forever or if watching the new fantasy television show is a Prison of the Abject on the Yellow Brick Road.

This podcast is an experiment which might cause listeners hate as much as Bubba has for 'Emerald City.'

The TV Guide episode description reads "A tornado occurs while Dorothy searches for her mother, and the storm transports Dorothy to a mystical land where a powerful ruler has outlawed magic in the series premiere of this dark, modern reimagining of "The Wizard of Oz.""Dorothy finds a soldier with amnesia and a man trying to help his best friend. Meanwhile, Glinda and West say good-bye to their fallen sister."

Toto is pissed, Tip is flipped, and Lucas is tripped up on his way to Dorothy's heart. Will the series honor the books of L. Frank Baum and the artwork of W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill? Not in The Wizard's beard!

Discuss at http://facebook.com/doubleppodcasts While looking for her mother, Dorothy Gale is swept up in a tornado and lands in a mystical world where the powerful ruler of a kingdom faces the wrath of witches and a mythical force. While trying to find a way home, Dorothy meets an amnesiac wounded soldier and a young man trying to free his best friend from a mysterious woman.
