Speaker 1: So we got some more Harry Potter casting rumors. So
one of these is from an a tier and it's
pretty much locked lock, and then the other two are rumors.
So the rumors right now is Phoebe waller Bridge is
being courted to play Aunt Petunia. And then the other one,
which is a big time potential casting is Killian Murphy
as Professor Quarrel. And then the other one that is
more it looks like it's just like happening, is John
Lithgal as Dumbledore. So obviously the rest of the cast
so far has been Britished, but Lithgal would be kind
of a step aside. So I said that would happen,
but I guess maybe they're making an exception. I don't
know what happened with Mark Strong. Apparently, you know, sadly
much loved to his family. Mark Rylance, the guy they
were talking to before his wife, just recently passed away.
So I don't think he want like you can see
why he passed on and he's much more things going on.
But like to not disrespect him. Lyftgal for me is
like a to me, he's like the most perfect choice
I've heard so far, because if you look at something
like Trinity if people haven't watched Dexter, that's a character
that he can be deadly serious and scary but then
super goofy the next second and be like who is
this weird guy? Like how is this guy the Trinity Killer?
Like he's he's an audiball right. And that's where Dumbledore
to me is like he's perfect. He can be comedic,
he can be charming, but he also has to be
a little weird, and then he can be like scarier
and on trustworthy, right, Like look at him fucking Order
the Phoenix. Such an asshole, you know, he's always not
talking to Harry and stuff like that, or Goblet of Fire,
those ones, whichever one I get mixed up. But that's
the thing Like lift Out to me is like pitch pitch,
Like that's the most perfect cast. And I've heard alas
list so far. Petunia, I'm very surprised they would get
like fuela bridge is not like a like a I
think when we did our fan casting, we didn't get
like any big tier actresses. We all got like, like
this is a woman that like she leads, like she
let her own show, she writes show, she's producing the
tum like she's like a bigger like not people don't
know her like the GA, but like she has other
things going on. She's not like just like a working
actors like she's said she's she's show running the tumor
air thing right now pretty much. So it's like that.
I was very surprised to get some of that. Calber
and the Killian Murphy one. I I don't believe that,
not just from the sources, because the source person is
put out good scoops. I just like, I don't know
that feels like a waste killing Murphy as Professor Quarrel
like to me, it's like that snape or like what
people fancasts before, like that's fucking Voldemort right there, like
Killy Murphy, like that's Baltimore. Now here's here's the pitch
that maybe someone says, hey, we talked to him about that,
and Killy Murphy doesn't want to sign on for eight
to nine years, right, I get that that's fine because
but even then, like Baltimore is not in him as much.
But I get let's say he doesn't want to do that,
but his professor Quarrel just like that, like I'm not
saying he can't do it. I feel like he could
do it, but that just feels like a that feels
like a way that is like a big fish, small
pond scenario to me, that would be a massive get
for them. So I kind of hope the rumors are wrong.
And maybe it's like always voicing, you know, the thing
on his head so like that Swalt's Quarrel, or maybe
people are getting things mixed up. I don't know, but
I just feel like this man's coming off of Oppenheimer.
He just won Best Actor the Academy Wards, and you're
telling me he's gonna play Professor Quarrel, like the bumbling idiot,
Like like, I just don't see that at all, Like
I see him thaying. I'm like, unless they're paying them,
you know, broccoli bond money, you know, if that's the
thing of like they just want a massive start, and like, hey,
we're gonna give killing a bunch of money, then sure
get your bag, because you know, Doom's off the fucking market.
And I I don't see him in the DCU. I
don't know. There's just I don't know why. I seem
the MC been out the DCU. I don't know why,
but yeah, what are some of your thoughts on these, uh,
these rumored castings right now, Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic. I think that's that's great. Let's
let's do it. I think you could pull off a
really really good Dumbledore. Uh Walter Bridge, Walter Hi, I'm
Walter uh her popping up when I look at her
and then look at Aunt Petunia from the like the movies, like,
holy shit, she is like she fits. But that's purely
based on the comparison to that original actress.
Speaker 1: She does. Age is very different. This is very much
like the hot ant May situation though, where it's like
a much younger Aunt Petunia.
Speaker 3: Though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that's just with the times too.
I mean back then, like the old older people had
younger kids, and now it's like younger people are having
young kids. So it's just I think it kind of
fits a bit more. Plus it's the nephew, right, Dudley
could be a little bit younger and still being an
ass and bullying Harry. Like, it's just Harry's and nephews,
so it not genetically their kids or anything like that.
So you can you have excuse me in a little
bit of wiggle room when it comes to that. Uh,
I'm very very happy with that casting. If that goes through, though,
I think that would be stellar. And then Killian Murphy,
I immediately just thought this was a great pick for
a Quarrel because Quarrel is just bumbling and and kind
of like or whatever, I don't know, just he's just
a klutz, and I like that for Killian Murphy to
portray until it's go time, until it's go time, because yeah,
at the very end of Chain or Sorcerer's Stone Philosopher's Stone,
when he's like come yeah boy, it's like, oh man,
Killian Murphy could just land this role and then he
like glides through the air and is like choking him,
and then yeah, I think I can think he could
pull it off, especially if we get that expanded upon
throughout a season with Killian Murphy just being bumbling Professor
Quarrel but then like very serious, like ah, I knew
you'd get him a little bits as him as Baltimore,
like in the forest, Killian Murphy hooded as Baltimore, like
drinking unicorn blood, Like holy shit, I think you get
some really cool things. So yeah, it would be It
is a shame to lose him out right away because
there are other characters that he'd be great at. But
that's just just the thing, just finding someone that would
really work for those other characters. This character. I'm sure
they could find someone else out there to play good
Baltimot or whatnot. But just to have Kille Murphy in
there is.
Speaker 3: Quarrel.
Speaker 1: Could they? But would you want to, like if they
sat you down and say, hey, killing to play Quarrel
or Valdemore, You're taking Valdemore though, right.
Speaker 2: I'd probably keep him as Quarrel.
Speaker 1: What because there's not a guarantee, like what there's no way,
like there's not a guarantee you've got a better actor
out there to get that's gonna accept Baltimore like because
then you get him for all these movies where like
quarrels just a one off, like that's madness that you
would still think.
Speaker 2: Well you get you wouldn't I guess you get like
his face cgi'ed on the back of whoever Quarrel's actor
is in the first movie. Then in the second one
you get it just a young actor not even Killya
Murphy playing Tom Riddle. And then you're not there in
the third one, so he wouldn't be signed on until
at least the fourth movie. And then he doesn't even appear.
He appears, he's so he's in the fourth movie, he's
in the next hole.
Speaker 1: He's barely in both four and five though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he's not even in he's not even
in the last one where Dumbledore dies or not the
last one, but he's not even in that one. It's
just all the death theaters and whatnot doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and four and five he's just in the third
act ending. So and that's why I think it could
be easy work for him, you know, And like I
just like those performances. But I don't know the books
one to three well not like maybe they'd want to
have more like maybe Lily Potter and James Potter Piece
of Shit dying. Maybe that's like a longer sequence in
the show than it is in the movie, right, because
you're trying to fill time. So maybe like the opening
scene of the show is like a five to ten
minutes like the Knight Boltemore kills his parents, and it's
not just like a flash of the actress, but like, ah,
like they show ten million times in the Harry Potter movies,
Like maybe it's that where it's like, oh, we're gonna
expand on a little bit more there, so but yeah,
that would be interesting. It's gonna be curious to see
this casting and like all I think the rumors they
have the kids, obviously they're all like unknown people, right,
so they're not like someone we know. But it's gonna
be it's the whole thing. Is gonna be curious when
they announced that official casting once they get rolling. Just
little things like do they use the John Williams theme again,
which I think they're gonna because they're using the Superman
theme again, So I feel like like I just feel
like that theme is so iconic and so linked to
Harry Potter. I know people, but it's just show is different.
It's like it doesn't matter, Like I just think you're
you're gonna use it like that. I just I don't
see how they throw that away. You can get someone
else do the rest of scoreing different stuff, but to
throw the John Williams, it's funny, that's actually John Williams again. Hey,
it's like super Man and then Harry Potter John Williams.
It's just like John Williams will live on forever. But yeah,
it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting. I still think
this show is gonna be a massive hit. I know
lots of people think like it won't because it's too
close to the movies and the JK stuff. I don't
think the JK stuff matters because we saw the games
sold and I I don't know if it is too
close what that first one came out in two thousand
and one, right, Philosopher's Stone. Yes, yeah, so we're twenty
plus years and by time this comes out, it's gonna
be what twenty seven, twenty eight or twenty twenty eight,
So it's like we're gonna be twenty six twenty seven
years away from it. It's like people have, like many
people include myself of like lived and I have chilled
and have whole new lives now.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's like there's a whole generation of kids that are
gonna like like I've been because we're about to watch
Definitely Halls Part two tomorrow because we've been slowly getting
through them. But I've been trying to explain the difference
of I keep telling when there's a show and like
show awesome for it should be like talking about them
coming back, and well, no it's not. And luckily I
just say, hey, it's like a Little Mermaid where you
have a live action show and a cartoon too and
show where they're gonna be very similar stories but it's different.
But there's gonna be a bunch of people that like
if the show works when seeing the movies, but it's
not the same for her because it's like we watch
them all together in various weeks. It's just like you're
done right. It's like we've talked about when our kids
grow up and want to watch the MCU, they could
knock out the Infinity Saga in a fucking weekend if
they want, you know, take off Friday Monday. They've seen everything.
What do we do? We did wait ten years for
that shit where this show, if it works and it's
a hit, they will grow up with these characters and
actors for the next like we did with the Harry
Potter people, right for the next decade. So's that's why
I still think it's gonna be hit. And like this,
like I feel like so far from these names we've
heard are like very talented and like a good ensemble
name So where as we end this cast, where are you, Like,
do you think this is gonna be a hit for
HBO as we start to hear more of these names,
or you think it's still like a wait and see
trailers and stuff like that, Where are you if they
ask you, Hey, is this our next Game of Throne
or something like that, next Big Numbers or last of something.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a hit. You're gonna you're
gonna get that trailer. John Williams score is gonna click
in there, and people are just gonna be like, oh man,
this is just this is taking me in and it's
it's more Harry Potter content. That's just it's back at Hogwarts.
That's what people really really want when you have those
movies that dive into the Fantastic Beast storyline. There's things
that I'm sure people like about it, But for me,
the highlight of that whole trilogy was when we get
that Headwig's theme and you see the the auras like, uh,
what's it called disaporating I think and appearing at Hogwarts
and you just got the theme kicking in and you
see the school the students is like, oh, this is
just this is just yeah, Harry Potter, just right there.
I love this this vibe, and I think that's gonna
be the big kick for a lot of people. Now,
Mile Madison does not like the idea of this show.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't.
Speaker 2: Yeah's watch it though, right, I will make her me
and her.
Speaker 1: Will uh yeah, but do you do you think you'll
make her? But do you think even without you, she
would like? I think it's the same way as people
like me were like, oh, these fucking Bond spin offs,
but like all these watch them a little bit.
Speaker 2: She'd watch a little bit without me, but me being there,
she'll watch all of it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, well it's it's it's gonna be interesting
to see what happens that he stuffed like me to me, like,
how does the school look?
Speaker 1: Because you can't make it look exactly like the movie?
Speaker 2: Right, but what was that teaser? It looked pretty similar.
Speaker 1: I mean like the inside of the school, though, like
does it does it just look the exact same? Is
it literally the exact same?
Speaker 2: We on the outside?
Speaker 1: No, on the inside, I.
Speaker 2: Would say it'll be the exact same. I mean the
outside looks literally exactly the same as the movies. Literally oh,
I'm gonna pull up just so you can see it.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, it's.
Speaker 2: Literally identical, like it looks like, hey, we're going right
back to the movies location. That's exactly it right there.
Oh my god, the hall and this thing.
Speaker 1: They hit it so perfectly the first go round. So
if it is just gonna be like a stage player
where you're watching the same thing and seeing the same actors.
But also there's new stuff, so yeah, we'll see lots
of rumors, but that's it. That's a juicy one to
a full two hours just us. But there's there's lots
of news to break down between this and the last one,
so uh yes, we will be back next week. Lots
of newscasts, lots of or just lots of cast sorry,
but in general subscribe. Thank you very much for listening.
When you hear of his next I'll Not Be Born
by bye,
