Episodes

This week, we're putting on the literary analysis hats we are in no way qualified to wear and discussing the narrative template The Hero's Journey. Is Harry Potter a typical Hero's Journey Tale? Is The Hero's Journey still an effective storytelling device? And for the love of god who is Ashwaganda …

Is there a better way to start 2023 than by somewhat ruthlessly dissecting the morals and ethics of the patriarch of the Harry Potter universe, Albus Dumbledore? No. No, there is not. We'll see you in there.

It's Christmas, but Foxie-fied. We share our favorite Christmas memories and traditions, recap Christmas throughout the original Harry Potter book series, air our grievances, and reflect on our hopes for the coming year.

Join us this week as we cover the third (and final?) of the Fantastic Beasts franchise- Secrets of Dumbledore. We speculate how the narrative got so damn messy, Kevin gives a manic recap of the Qilin storyline that evokes the phrase "Stop the Steal", and Bunty tells us how "it be like that sometime…

This week, we're revealing the deepest inner workings of our Wizarding Souls- in the form of online quizzes. And some of the results are...surprising. Plus- ACEs follow-up!

The time has come friends- we're talking everyone's favorite HP subplot and the story that launched one million fanfics, The Marauders! Were they bullies or heroes? What's Kev's AU theory about James? And is there any viable defense for Peter Pettigrew?

This week we are bravely facing the narrative mess that is Crimes of Grindelwald and its 1,000 separate storylines, weaving in and out of the kelpie-sized plotholes and disagreeing hard about Johnny Depp.

This week, we're discussing ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) within the Harry Potter series. While it is a heavy topic fear not! There is still plenty of ridiculousness, like the time Kevin thought Hagrid's three-headed dog was named Fangey. Please note: This episode contains some general di…

In our first character deep dive, we're jumping straight into the deep end and tackling the most polarizing character in the Harry Potter universe- Severus Snape. Is the whole Snape/Lily thing romantic or creepy? Is there any way in which Snape is actually a decent teacher? We do our level best to …

It's time to jump into the Fantastic Beasts series with the titular first movie, and we're coming in hot with our love for Jacob Kowalski and our...not-love of Johnny Depp.

FFH is BACK! For the premiere post-first-series-reading episode, we're talking Harry Potter Headcanons and Origin Stories. Who do the Weasleys have a thing for? Did Salazar Slytherin have a totally different reason for his blood purity mania? And was Dumbledore not actually who he seemed to be in K…

It's time for Hot Wands, the show with spicy spells and even spicier questions- and this season's Episode of Requirement! The Wilsons and Manager of Mischief Jay-Bay make their way through eight progressively hotter hot sauces while answering all manner of questions. How many unintentional innuendo…

Cue sweeping orchestral music for our sweeping discussion of the entire Harry Potter series. Listen in wrapt attention as Kev scrambles to provide one-minute summaries of each book, let your ears bathe in The Wilsons' waxing poetic about the larger themes at play across the books, and erupt in thun…

It's time again for that old End-of-A-Book Hootenanny known as The Kevlawney Prophecy Round-Up and the HOOTenanny known as Owl Post. How many of Kev's Book 7 prophecies came to pass? Which series-wide prophecies are the all-time greats? What are the Wilsons' go-to karaoke songs? And, perhaps most i…

Keep the Milk Duds flowing and the popcorn poppin' because FFH is back with another movie episode and The Wilsons aren't feeling quite as charitable with the second half of Deathly Hallows. While the ending may be a flaming pile of actual garbage, there are plenty of magical moments to discuss lead…

Tech Week is currently kicking Amanda's a**, so forgive us as we put off DH2 for one week! Support the show

Grab your popcorn, Twizzlers, and Helena Bonham Carter opinions and make yourself comfy- it's movie time as The Wilsons cover Deathly Hallows: Part 1. What did they love, what did they hate, and (most importantly) where do they land on the Harry/Hermione dance? Listen and find out!

The time has come! Kev has finally finished the series and we're covering The Flaw in the Plan and the Epilogue, Nineteen Years Later. Which moments are the last of Kev's first re-read to bring your hosts to loud, sniffy tears? Who emerged Winner and Loser of the final chapter? And most importantly…

This week, it's time to talk LeakyCon 2022! Come for your hosts discussing the inclusive and heart-warming community lovefest that is LeakyCon, stay for the dunking on both The Bourne Stuntacular and the phenomenon of Manspreading.

The Wilsons have made amends after last week and are ready to finish up their discussion of King's Cross. Things get deep when discussing Dumbledore's arc, Kev is feeling sorry for Voldemort somehow, and Prison Mike stops by?

This week, your hosts argue about and may divorce over the logistics of Harry's survival in part one of covering HP All-Time chapter King's Cross. Plus- plans for the future of the show!

We warned you with the title of this week's episode- have your tissues handy. The Forest Again proves to be a Forest of Emotion as The Wilsons discuss Harry's march to death. Plus, Otis Redding, some Jesus stuff?, and Kev discusses burning books.

It's time to dive into the remainder of Snape's memories as we finish The Prince's Tale. Big feelings and opinions about the Half Blood Prince himself as well as the puppet master who's name rhymes with Schmumbledore abound.

Join us as we try to distract ourselves from the current dystopian hellscape that is the US by tackling one half of the hellscape that is Snape's memories! That's right- it's time for part 1 of our 2-part coverage of The Prince's Tale.
