It's Spooky and Racist

Chapter 9: A Place to Hide - Another chapter of Hermione saving everyone's ass 🤷‍♀️ We have some notes for the film....like how Hermione, instead of modifying the waitress's memory she just screams "GO! LEAVE!" ...❓Which I guess is the same thing? 🤷‍♀️And also these three idiots don't even take all those pastries from the cafe they effing destroyed 🙄 you tell the barista to GTFO and you don't even get yourself some snackies?

Latke Chat

Chapter 8: The Wedding - Latke chat time! Adam gets his tongue in order and Tara is speaking in a weird southern accent. Barney is a nosy dude and Muriel the Hutt is fucking annoying. Also, Bill and Fleur fuck. A lot. Not necessarily in this chapter but just assume if you don't see them, they're probably fucking🤷‍♀️

Very Long but Very Good

Chapter 7: The Will of Albus Dumbledore (this is chapter 7 of Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) - Tara is reading the version of this book with no sex in it. Lion man is annoying AF in this chapter. What does the Happy birthday song sound like in the Wizarding World? "I didn't make this fucking wand." Actual quote from the book.

...The French!

Chapter 6: The Ghoul in Pajamas - Harry is back on his bullshit of wanting to leave everyone behind for their own safety. Of course, Hermione and Ron are not having any of it...and frankly, neither are we. So it's time to prep for a wedding and it's astounding how little that WIZARDS are utilizing magic...🤷‍♀️

Captain Couch - featuring Peggy Newton & Natalie Zenczak

It's our first special episode of season 7: Tara and a Bunch of Slytherins 🤣 Peggy and Natalie are here to discuss movies 5 and 6. It's glorious chaos and we are so thankful to record with two of our favorites!

Sep 13, 20231 hr 37 minSeason 7Ep. 196

And I Would Have Gotten Away with it Too!

Chapter 5: Fallen Warrior - Adam, your wine is ready for pickup! On top of another reminder that the seven Potters was a terrible idea, Adam and Tara also share their Wizardly Weekend of Kent experience (the good, and the ridiculous).

Sep 07, 202349 minSeason 7Ep. 195

Find a Bus, Bitch

Chapter 4: The Seven Potters - Today Lulu and Zinbitch discuss chapter 4 of Harry Potter and the Field Wine Guide. JK, sorry this isn't actually a wine podcast 🤦‍♀️ This chapter is absolute chaos and honestly did NOT need to be... just use your invisibility cloak, Harry! Seriously though, we basically come up with at least half a dozen better ideas than everyone dressing up as Harry. PS. Hedwig didn't actually die. She's in France enjoying a croissant. This is canon....

Confidently Doing a Stupid Thing

Chapter 3: The Dursleys Departing - This episode features a special guest: Tara's fan!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ (It's summer, y'all, and global warming is REAL). It's our last chapter with the Dursleys and we are not sad about it. So then it's our last chance to discuss just how shitty Vernon Dursley is...but we also get to spend some time talking about how Dudley has changed for the better. Also, it is treasonous that they filmed the scene where Dudley and Harry say goodbye to each other and then they...

Down with the Thicknesse

Chapter 2: In Memoriam - Just a reminder that we're all changing our last names to Thickness! Adam and Tara discuss the most effective way to drink wine and are unable to give Rita Skeeter the benefit of the doubt because she's kind of terrible 🤷‍♀️

Aug 16, 202330 minSeason 7Ep. 192

Cosplaying as Evil People, or Drinkies and Snakeys

Chapter 1: The Dark Lord Ascending - Yaxley and Snape take a romantic stroll after getting coffee and take in the sights. Voldy continues his favorite pastime of refusing to admit that Harry has any skills. Nobody has extra shit in the Wizarding World. Oh, and Adam and Tara are back on their bullshit. Welcome to season 7, Snitches!

The Most Evil People are the Most Gorgeous - featuring Jean and Delia Brennan

In this special episode, we discuss the movies of Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire with our favorite mother-daughter duo,Jean and Delia Brennan. PS. This episode is worth it just for Delia's Snape impression and spot on summary of Prisoner of Azkaban ❤️❤️

We Have our own Receipts - Book 6 Wrap up

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince book/movie wrap-up, or, an evaluation of the resume of Mr. Harry James Potter and his undeniable qualifications to maybe, just maybe , be trusted to know what he's talking about.

Jun 01, 202355 minSeason 6Ep. 188

The Half-Brud Plince

Chapter 30: The White Tomb - We spend a lot of time in Harry's head but that's honestly better than being around the Pink devil (who comes to Dumble's funeral for what purpose?). We also discuss the complete unimportance of Eileen Prince and how the HBP book was not evil, just misused. Tara even gives Snape a little bit of a pass... 😱

May 26, 202345 minSeason 6Ep. 187

Dumby's Gone and this Place Sucks Without Him

Chapter 29: The Phoenix Lament - This whole chapter takes place in the hospital wing where everything is awkward and sad. Also Fawkes is setting shit on fire and tearing things up now.

May 18, 202344 minSeason 6Ep. 186

Psychological Warfare, or Two Bones

Chapter 27: The Lightening Struck Tower - Even though he's basically on Death's door, Dumble still makes sure to give Baby Death Eater some kudos for doing a good job on his woodworking project. Post Hogwarts, we need the short story series of Draco attending Magical Trade School. Tara is a bad speller but definitely knows how to spell Frenrirrr. Adam, your word is PROTEIN. Also, Frenrirrr isn't even a real Death Eater...he's just a throat-eater

The Locket in the Margarita - featuring Sarah Price

Chapter 26: The Cave - It's finally vacay time!!!! Dumble and Harry arrive in Palm springs to find that the hotel accommodations were not as expected.... But at least, there are some cool water features...

Apr 21, 202357 minSeason 6Ep. 182

Some Bitch named Eileen

Chapter 25: The Seer Overhead - So why can Slughorn give students mead but Trelawney has to hide he sherry bottles? Also, everything is Snape's fault. 🤷‍♀️

Apr 13, 202337 minSeason 6Ep. 181

Weasley is our QWEN

Chapter 24 - Sectumsempra Adam's house is hot and Tara is slowly removing clothing. Draco and Harry have a dick measuring contest. Again. Ginny is the actual best. Harry is an idiot. Seriously. WTF Harry. PS. Snape still sucks.

Apr 06, 202348 minSeason 6Ep. 180

Don't Be a Horcrux - featuring Dan Hunsicker and Victoria Kirgesner-Hunsicker

Chapter 23: Horcruxes - Dan is still here and with Dan, we get Victoria - queen of the fantastic one-liners! Seriously though, Victoria and Adam bring the chaotic energy to this episode while we highlight just how nerdy Dan is. This podcast is full of nerds. Tapeworms are gross.

HEY! Wanna See a Dead Spider???

Chapter 22: After the Burial - On this week's episode of "wizards will pretty much drink anything you put in front of them", we discuss Slughorn and Hagrid's drunken shenanigans, continue to acknowledge Hermione as the voice of reason, and learn that Harry is really skilled at guilt tripping people...(wonder who he learned that from... )

Are You an Imprint of a Departed Soul?

Chapter 21: The Unknowable Room - The most important thing in this chapter is that sassy Ron is amazing 😂 Also, it's clear that both Harry AND Kreacher need to chill when it comes to their obsession with Malfoy.

Mar 09, 202338 minSeason 6Ep. 176

Hussy in a Handbag - Featuring Brian O. Jackson

Chapter 20: Lord Voldemort's Request - Brian is back and there are hot cookies! Madame Adam makes an appearance! We roast Dumble a lot here and discuss the journey of each horcrux that Voldy has made and we do an interesting word collaboration.

Mar 03, 202352 minSeason 6Ep. 175

I Don't Want to be a Coat - Featuring Brian O. Jackson

Chapter 19: Elf Tales - Basically, McDickface is the WORST. Also, Ron needs to grow a pair and PomPom is sassy. The taco discussion in this episode is INTENSE. Because tacos are the most important.

Professor Flitwick is Bringing Sexy Back
