29 Jan 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What introductions are made at the beginning of the episode?

15.623 - 26.739 Joanna Robinson

Hello, welcome back to House of R. I'm Joanna Robinson. That is the beautiful Malia Rubin. That is the wonderful Rob Mahoney. And Sean Fennessey is also here. What the fuck? Brutal.

0

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of the 2025 Hype Draft?

27.961 - 34.43 Joanna Robinson

Welcome back to the pod, Sean Fennessey. Thanks for having me back. My mortal enemy on the hype draft pods. Great to have you.

0

34.45 - 39.077 Sean Fennessey

My annual visit to one of my favorite podcasts that otherwise pretends I don't exist. I hear you.

0

Chapter 3: What are the rules for the 2026 Hype Draft?

39.257 - 40.479 Sean Fennessey

You're welcome anytime.

0

40.799 - 41.26 Joanna Robinson

Anytime.

0

41.24 - 46.211 Sean Fennessey

It's nice to be here. So you're not destroying anybody this year, but you are. You're still planning to destroy people in this draft.

0

46.231 - 56.213 Joanna Robinson

I don't know if that's my energy. Is that what I'm bringing to the table here? I'm just here for 90 minutes of fun with my friends. That's it. That's all I got today. Rob, how do you feel about being here? I feel great.

0

56.955 - 57.055

Okay.

Chapter 4: Who are the top picks in the 2026 Hype Draft?

57.035 - 60.802 Rob Mahoney

I mean, I will win this draft as I win all drafts. So I guess I am here to destroy somebody.

0

60.842 - 61.343 Joanna Robinson

I don't know who it is.

0

61.363 - 64.148 Rob Mahoney

What have you ever won a draft? I've won every draft I've ever participated in.

0

64.168 - 65.31 Joanna Robinson

That's deeply untrue.

0

65.43 - 68.135 Rob Mahoney

In the logic and space of my own mind, anything is possible, Jo.

68.155 - 88.647 Joanna Robinson

There you go. All right. So this hype draft has been a little bit delayed, but that does not mean we don't have a lot to talk about in terms of what's coming this year. But just for programming reminders... We are in the thick of it with A Night of the Seven Kingdoms. So every Sunday, there's an episode of Talk the Thrones. Molly Rubin, Chris Ryan, yours truly. Yeah. Three R's.

88.748 - 100.665 Mallory Rubin

I'm in the CR seat right now. I feel like I'm channeling. Great. Powerful. Yeah. I feel assured in my convictions about everything but how to spell the names of Westerosi figures. Pitching for a zen or like, how are you feeling?

100.905 - 101.586 Unknown

You feel tall?

101.606 - 101.706

Yeah.

Chapter 5: What are the highlights of each host's top picks?

2974.546 - 2987.763 Sean Fennessey

Great. I think is going to go well. Now, I'm not always great at actually watching the things that I select. For example, Alien Earth. I watched two episodes and I was like, nope, not for me. This isn't what I think this should be. Wasn't a fan.

0

2987.783 - 2990.146 Mallory Rubin

Right. But then did you still listen to all of our podcasts about it?

0

2990.206 - 2998.317 Sean Fennessey

I trust you did. I did not. Tough. But I've heard great things. I've heard they are elite podcasts. We had fun.

0

Chapter 6: How do the hosts feel about upcoming adaptations and sequels?

2998.357 - 2999.699 Sean Fennessey

So I'm very pleased for you guys.

0

2999.759 - 3000.119 Unknown

We had fun.

0

3000.139 - 3001.321 Mallory Rubin

Have you heard Tim Olyphant was here?

0

3002.002 - 3002.923 Sean Fennessey

Sure did.

0

3003.103 - 3003.684 Unknown

Interview of a lifetime.

3003.704 - 3009.712 Sean Fennessey

Friend of the pod. I was happy for you guys. I actually did watch that content on social media.

3010.333 - 3011.154 Joanna Robinson

And you were charmed by it.

3011.675 - 3016.862 Sean Fennessey

Well, I've had Tim Olyphant stuck for a long time. So I'm happy for you guys.

3016.842 - 3018.585 Rob Mahoney

Since when? Girl Next Door?

Chapter 7: What insights do the hosts share about the anticipated films and shows?

3020.529 - 3025.478 Sean Fennessey

Go is just incredible. What a breakthrough as the worst person in the universe.

0

3026.56 - 3029.044 Joanna Robinson

Very hot. But the best person to ever wear a Santa hat, I think.

0

3029.124 - 3033.052 Sean Fennessey

Oh, yeah. Very sleazy and sexy and dangerous.

0

3033.653 - 3036.538 Mallory Rubin

I know what you're going to pick based on this preamble, but we'll see.

0

3036.94 - 3046.915 Sean Fennessey

Well, I mean, I have two picks, right? So I'll get the obvious one out of the way first. In movie, I'll be taking Spider-Man Brand New Day, which I've never not liked a Spider-Man movie.

3047.596 - 3047.716 Unknown

Sure.

3047.796 - 3058.532 Sean Fennessey

Including even the ones people don't like. Spider-Man is eternal. I love him. If you think I have strong feelings for Cyclops blowing up Sentinels, just wait until Peter Parker is cracking lies while flying through his city.

Chapter 8: What are the final thoughts on the hype draft and upcoming content?

0

3060.194 - 3069.85 Sean Fennessey

You know, change in filmmaker here, which will be interesting. The first time John Watts is not on a film. I assume there's going to be some connectivity to Doomsday here.

0

3070.032 - 3098.301 Sean Fennessey

feels obvious and yet you read a lot about how Sony is kind of desperate to reel Spidey back in and get a little bit more ownership over that property over the long term so I'm quite curious but you know the gang's back Holland's back I'm gonna do those movies with my daughter too which I'm excited about she's really into Spidey as all little kids are because of Spidey and his amazing friends which is Crack Cocaine on Disney Plus Sadie Sink is here that's right playing TBD

0

3098.787 - 3100.389 Rob Mahoney

playing Jean Grey.

0

3100.629 - 3103.412 Mallory Rubin

If you've never been on the internet playing TBD, sure.

3103.612 - 3109.038 Rob Mahoney

I just see a lot of stuff floating around, a lot of theories about who she could be playing in this movie. So I genuinely don't know.

3109.078 - 3110.12 Joanna Robinson

Lucille Ball?

3110.32 - 3111.201 Unknown

I think it's out there.

3111.221 - 3113.623 Rob Mahoney

Okay. I'm not in the right corners.
