205 – Lady Voldemort? HBO, Say It Ain’t So!

Description

There are rumors — unproven rumors — going around that HBO is auditioning women for the role of . . . Lord Voldemort? Nobody wants this, and this isn’t just a nerd meltdown. The story will actually be broken in pretty significant ways if Lord Voldemort becomes Lady Voldemort.


Also, we’ve been reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, and I explain how we grew Po-ta-toes to celebrate Hobbit Day on September 22. It’s easier than you think and you could easily do this at home or at school!


In the video version of this episode, I’m back in charater as Dolores Umbridge to give a good scolding to the idea that massive changes can be made to a story without destroying it.
