No. 13 | Star Wars
2 december 2015 · 1 uur 25 min
It’s almost time for new Star Wars, so Marco and Benji are looking back at the original Star Wars, AKA Episode IV — A New Hope. We’re fascinated by the weird galaxy George Lucas created at least partly by accident. Much love for Han Solo and Obi Wan Kenobi within. Luke is basically a space hick, and the Rebellion is remarkably chill about letting people into their secret base. Lees meer

No. 12 | Mockingjay: Part 2
25 november 2015 · 1 uur 19 min
It’s time to close out the Hunger Games series with Part 2 of Mockingjay. Benji and Marco journeyed to the theater to get their hot takes on the big Katniss finale. Thoughts on President Coin’s shoes, Johanna Mason’s future, poor Boggs, and the YA Dystopian genre in general. We both def liked this better than Part 1, at least. Lees meer

No. 11 | Mockingjay: Part 1
11 november 2015 · 1 uur 24 min
This week on Headcanon we’re talking about the first half of Mockingjay, a polarizing book and an odd movie that downshifts the story of Katniss into PTSD, depression, and despair. “I wish she was dead. I wish they were all dead and we were too.” Welcome to Mockingjay! Yikes. Discussion ranges from: Why didn’t they make Katniss a general in their army? Why are Cressida’s camera guys getting in each other’s shots? And, what is going on with creepy CGI-tiny-body Peeta? Thanks for listening! Lees meer

No. 10 | Catching Fire
11 november 2015 · 1 uur 43 min
This week on Headcanon, we’re looking at the second film in the Hunger Games quadrilogy, and Marco and Benji find it to be a huge improvement. Francis Lawrence brings a steady hand (literally) behind the camera, and we’re introduced to funny and vibrant new characters in a very solid adaptation of Catching Fire. Topics covered: Who’s the nice guy, Peeta or Gale? What does the Capitol even do? And Johanna Mason is awesome. Thanks for listening! Lees meer

No. 9 | The Hunger Games
4 november 2015 · 1 uur 30 min
We’ve wrapped up the Harry Potter movies and now we’re moving on to a series that owes at least some of its success to the legacy Rowling created. Neither Marco or Benji is really feeling The Hunger Games movie, though we both liked the books a fair amount. Join us as we break down the best and worst of part one of this franchise. Gale vs Peeta, the priorities of the filmmakers, and how we think we’d do in our own Hunger Games are all part of the conversation. Lees meer

No. 8 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
27 oktober 2015 · 1 uur 34 min
It’s a bittersweet time on the Headcanon podcast as we close out the Harry Potter series with Deathly Hallows Part 2. Joining us to put the story to bed is noted Wizarding World expert Heather Hogan of Autostraddle. Topics of conversation include: what if Harry actually did die? Why didn’t Harry use the Elder Wand to repair the school before breaking it? Why were the Malfoys Death Eaters when their privileged asses already had everything anyway? And much much more. Thanks for listening! Lees meer

No. 7 | Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
20 oktober 2015 · 1 uur 39 min
Marco and Benji dig in to part one of the Harry Potter finale, touching on important topics like: did Harry and Hermione despair-bang? Who are all these old dudes the movie takes no time to explain? Is this movie Hermione’s or Ron’s? Polyjuice potion: sexual game-changer. You get the idea. Lees meer

No. 6 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
13 oktober 2015 · 1 uur 48 min
Marco and Benji both enjoyed year 6 in the Harry Potter movie-verse a lot more than the previous year, even if the storytelling is still iffy. Marco liked Daniel Radcliffe’s foray into a more humorous acting style, and Benji always approves of Hermione slapping Harry and Ron around with newspapers. Both were totally creeped out by Cormac McLaggen and his goddamn finger licking and obscene broom. Lees meer

No. 5 | Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
6 oktober 2015 · 2 uur 3 min
Settle in for the first of four Harry Potter movies directed by David Yates. Benji is baffled by what Yates is doing with his camera. Marco loves to hate Professor Dolores Umbridge. Lots to discuss as we break down The Order of the Phoenix, and then talk about class subjects at Hogwarts, and what we would want to study. Lees meer

No. 4 | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
24 september 2015 · 1 uur 23 min
This week on Headcanon, Marco and Benji are discussing the fourth Harry Potter film, which neither of them are huge fans of. Benji takes issue with the confused perspective in the movie. Marco wonders why Moody didn’t teleport Harry out of the school sooner. If he would only read Hogwarts, a History… Apologies in advance for all the complaining, but this movie is seriously not good.

No. 3 | Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
17 september 2015 · 1 uur 27 min
Marco and Benji are joined by Wizarding expert Heather Hogan from Autostraddle to discuss Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Who is Sirius Black’s true love? How does the magic trace work at The Burrow? Why is Ron such a tool to Hermione? All this and more within as we talk about what might be the worst adaptation in the series, but also the best film; directed masterfully by Alfonso Caurón. Lees meer

No. 2 | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
9 september 2015 · 1 uur 51 min
Marco and Benji are back to talk about the second Harry Potter movie. Neither are huge fans of this one, but Benji still loved the evil villain monologue and nothing will stop Marco from relishing Snape’s elocution. What is Hagrid really doing in Diagon Alley? Why does Harry even have to practice for Quidditch? And Hermione is awesome, which isn’t even a question. Lees meer
