Please, no, not another one! Sam and Natalia watch and review the next FANTASTIC BEASTS film: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD.
Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) attempt to take down the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp), reuniting with Newt's old friends: Generic Love Interest (Katherine Waterston), Why Are You Still Here (Dan Fogler), and Ezra Miller... for some reason. But at least this one has Hogwarts in it, right? Right?!
Sam and Natalia sit down and try to watch the second FANTASTIC BEASTS film.
Topics of conversation include Colin Farrell, empty theatres, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, Dementors, Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald, woke brownie points, THE CASUAL VACANCY, J. K. Rowling's bad worldbuilding, boring movies, Biblical genealogy, baby Corvus, Nagini, and transgender wizards.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
