Harry and the other first-years finally arrive at Hogwarts! In this chapter, we get our first look at the school, meet the four houses, and experience the Sorting Ceremony. We discuss the students’ first impressions, the house assignments, and what the Sorting Hat might have gotten right (or wrong).

The game is afoot... again! Nearly six years after our first Sherlock Holmes episode, we're back with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.

This movie takes us back to 2011, when Jeremy was a Boy Scout patrol leader with a big idea: organize a movie outing for the patrol. Somehow, that outing ended up being A Game of Shadows, and the rest is history.

We're putting the movie through the Inside Quotes test, looking at everything from Hans Zimmer's memorable score and Guy Ritchie's signature slow-motion action to the cast of iconic characters and the film's impressive production design. We also discuss whether these movies are really about the mystery or if they're just fun adventures with great characters.

Does the sequel live up to the original? Is Robert Downey Jr. the definitive Sherlock Holmes? And does A Game of Shadows still earn its place as a childhood staple?

IQ Test 2.0 Criteria:

0-6 Points = A Quack

7-9 Points = A Staple

10+ Points = Stapliest

This week, we're diving into Chapter 6 of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, “The Journey from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.” Harry is finally on his way to Hogwarts, and along the journey he meets some familiar faces, makes a few new friends, and gets his first real taste of life in the wizarding world.

We're talking about the Weasley family, Ron and Harry's first meeting, Hermione's introduction, and Draco Malfoy's first appearance on the train. Along the way, we question the security of Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, wonder why Ron is using a hand-me-down wand, and consider whether the wizarding world has a proper way to watch Quidditch.

Plus, we debate the chapter artwork, revisit some classic wizarding snacks, and put the new Target chocolate frogs to the taste test. Are they worth the hype? You'll have to listen to find out.

Join us as we make our way to Hogwarts and get ready for the Sorting Hat in Chapter 7!
