Episode 259: Movie News, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, Dual

The third “Fantastic Beasts” movie is out, but will there be a fourth and fifth as planned? Our mixed review reflects how not everyone is fully under the spell of this “Harry Potter” spinoff. The engaging and insightful Perri Nemiroff joins Christy to discuss “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” (You can find her YouTube channel here.) Also, Alonso and Christy review the darkly comic thriller “Dual,” starring Karen Gillan and … Karen Gillan. In news, we remember Gilbert Gottfried and talk Cannes, Coachella, the JLo documentary, Cuba Gooding Jr., Bam Margera and more. And over at our Patreon, we wrap up “Bridgerton” season 2 on Netflix with a recap of the final two episodes, and we puzzle our way through episode 3 of “Moon Knight” on Disney+, which we’re just not feeling. We’d love to hear your thoughts on all of this, and enjoy the weekend!
