How to Survive: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)

It's episode 69... and there's magic in the air... Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016) tells the story of Newt Scamander, a collector and protector of magical animals. Newt travels to New York city, where he immediately loses his magical animals and ends up embroiled in all kinds of mayhem while he hunts them down. (Also it's set in the Harry Potter universe) We talk about the lax approach to HR management exhibited by the American magical society (I can't remember their name and I'm damned if I'm going to look it up); the importance of keeping a cool head in order to prevent blowing your cover; and just how easily a senator's death can be swept under the rug. All of which leads to one big question:  How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... I ain't got the brains to make this up. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world.
