Chapter 2: What are the rules for the summer hype meter?
Like anything could happen. In theory, by the time you hear this, you will have already heard two other podcasts that we've yet to record, but will have been recorded and will have aired. And then like who knows if there's news or something changes. You have some travel too. Things could change. But in theory, here's what's coming up.
Yeah.
A musical extravaganza. Tell the people about it.
Oh, my gosh. We've got a couple great guests coming out. Friend of the Pod month is technically over by the time you're listening to this. It goes on in perpetuity as far as we're concerned. But, yeah, I mean, it was really fun to have pals on. So, you know, we've got this studio. We've got this big old couch. If you want to be our friend, let us know. Let us know.
I've got a couple pals coming in to fill in. It takes two of my best pals to fill in for one, Mallory Rubin, while she'll be off around the world. And so we're doing a sort of musical-themed, musical less like jazz hands musical and more like music musical podcast. In anticipation of the Vampire List ad. So something that I haven't completely formed my idea of what this episode is going to be.
But one thing I know we want to talk about is like best fictional bands. So hobbitsanddragons.gmail.com if you want to nominate a fictional band that you love, that you want us to talk about. Exciting. We've got a couple of experts coming out to talk about that kind of thing. So I'm excited. Maybe I'll throw you some nominations. Oh, please. Anything off the top?
Dingo's Ate My Baby. Dingo's Ate My Baby, of course, top of mind given the Buffy rewatch. And, you know, we're almost famous.
Oh, Stillwater. Enthusiast of Stillwater, I think, just like has to be. Come on, yeah.
The question really is just how high on the list, not whether they're on the list.

Chapter 3: What are the expectations for the upcoming summer season?
We live in the moment in the hype draft. That's part of the joy of it. I should also say, because we're banking this early, it's entirely possible that another trailer for one of these things comes out before this airs, and that will not be accounted for on this podcast if it happens.
I know. A Hot D Entertainment Weekly cover dropped this very morning, and I have not had a chance to look at it. Me neither. Okay. We will not be bringing that information. So that will also not be accounted for. If we had time, we would have read it, but it dropped mere hours ago and I didn't have time. Yeah, if new dates come out in the next week. Sure.
If there's a House of the Dragon trailer while Mallory's away for work. Yeah. Great news. You have three hours of past Hot D season three trailer podcast you can listen to. Or perhaps just me on a mic for two hours. Just every single frame.
That would be great.
With no one here to help me and just me being like... Me just being like, show me that dragon. But the whole staff is on this work trip. And so it'll just be me screaming into the void.
I mean, listen, CR is going to be in town.
Content is content.
If you're doing Name That Dragon, he's available.
All right. Should we get to our rules refresher? Please. For the summer hype meter. If you've listened to one of our prior hype meters, we've done a lot of them at this point. We've been doing these for like four years, I think. Sometimes we do it every season. Sometimes we don't. But we've done a lot of these.

Chapter 4: What exciting new releases are anticipated this summer?
Oh, yeah. I think at one point, like four years ago, I had a convention on there. I think at one point I was like, these trailers are coming on. I know. I thought about putting San Diego Comic-Con on there, but then I had too many other things taking place. I thought about it, too, but then I was like, I live in fear of getting violently ill.
Would we get violently ill if we traveled together? While Hot D is airing. If we traveled together to the UK to watch The Mad King, would we get violently ill and would it be worth it?
I think we would find a way to remain healthy and well. And yes, I do think it would be worth it.
Something to think about. I'll be in Europe!
Before it premieres, though. That's true. What's the premiere date? Middle of the hot D run, whatever that is. You'll be back. Tricky timing. Yeah, you'll be back.
But should that stop us?
But it'll be running afterwards. So I'm just saying, should we cap the season of hot D coverage?
I had a lot of regret about not going to Broadway to see Stranger Things. Stranger Things. Won't make that mistake again.
Maybe we should correct that error.

Chapter 5: What are the key details about 'The Death of Robin Hood' movie?
I know.
Spooky alien clicks.
I could instead conjure for you this beautiful dreamscape with like the cardinals and the snow. That's also in here. Who knows what's going on there.
It's funny. John Williams is scoring this movie, Joanna? He's quite old. And I'm excited to hear. He's still crushing it. What he's got in the tank. Crushing it. Yeah, absolutely. Really hope this movie is wonderful.
You took this in the first round of the hype draft.
I did. I think I took it just because I felt Sean would take it if I let Sean take it, so I took it. I think I took it way too early. Way too early. Yeah. Well, you would have had two picks before he made his second, but then he would have had two more before he made his third. I won the Star Wars draft, so let's not dwell on my hype meter performance because it was bad.
You know, we're just here to have fun. It was very bad. We're just here to have fun. That's okay. Disclosure day. I'll be interested to see. As I've been spouting all around, I do not think Steven Spielberg has made a great movie in a very long time. It would be great if this movie was great and Steven Spielberg just found that magic again.

Chapter 6: What themes are explored in the upcoming 'Lanterns' series?
It would be wonderful. I think it looks good. Trailers look good. I hope it's great. Josh O'Connor, it's really hard to make a Josh O'Connor film not work for me. Though it has been done, but it is challenging. David Koepp's script, Spielberg's story. Could go either way with David Koepp.
Spielberg directed. Yeah. I'm excited. Okay, number five. What do you have here? This is where I have The Death of Robin Hood. Okay, so should we talk about that? Yeah. My five is I think you're number one, so we're not going to be talking about that here.
Okay. I'm not going to argue with you. All right, so The Death of Robin Hood looks so unbelievably fucking sick.
Chapter 7: How does the hype for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' compare to other releases?
It's coming out June 19th. I think you and I should go.
Too many movies in June for us to cover all of them appropriately.
We probably can't cover this, but I could go deep on, like, a Robin Hood episode if we ever wanted to do, like, a very special Robin Hood episode. Because Robin Hood is, like, huge. Will you wear tights? Um... No, but I will practice my archery. Great. Yeah. Fantastic. That's something I can promise.
This is directed by Michael Sarnoski, who did Pig, which is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. Nicholas Cage. It is a phenomenal movie. Also, Quiet Place Day One, which... I consume that movie, as you know, entirely through cat content on Instagram.
Right. Because of the cat.
Yeah. Hugh Jackman, as one of the comments I saw when I was watching the trailer last night, someone, like, the top comment was, like, close enough, welcome back, Logan.

Chapter 8: What are the expectations for 'The Odyssey' and its potential impact?
Like, it's a grizzled, grim, old Robin Hood. Jodie Comer's here, Bill Skarsgård is here, Noah Jupe, who I really love, Marie Bartlett, like, an incredible cast. Great cast. You know, it just looks like one of those classic A24, like, very much in the Robert Eggers, like, Nosferatu, Werwolf sort of vibe, where this is just, like, it's very...
blue it's very grim it's very gritty but it's Robin Hood and I'm just like and it's you know the theme of the trailer and the promo is like you know the legend you know the like you've got the cartoon fox and the this that and the other thing but this is the real Robin of Loxley sort of stuff so I love it I'm really excited about this I think it looks fucking phenomenal it's A24 so like you know it's got that so moody A24 genre spin like Green Knight
Energy, too, which, like, another movie that we absolutely love. We love. Yeah. Thrilled about this. I thought that the trailer looked fucking amazing. Great. In general, always down for a dark reimagining that questions, you know, how legends and lies relate to each other and this idea of, like, Robin carrying the guilt, you know?
Not only that other people might look and say, are you, like, actually a criminal and a murderer, but that he might say, am I a criminal and a murderer? Very interesting. And then this period, it seems from the trailer, they put out, like, a little, like, 90-second-ish,
special where you see so in addition to the trailer where you see some glimpses and also the cast talking a little bit about the movie and this idea of like this period of recuperation that allows for this questioning of like is self the moment to reflect is salvation possible right am i worthy of it and what would the path to it be what would it look like you know the tagline for the movie is like he was no hero it's just very very very interesting yeah um
I think it looks great. I really can't wait to see this.
I just cannot say enough. If you've never seen the movie Pig, I just cannot say enough about it. This is a Nicolas Cage joint, and it's a very similar, like, Nicolas Cage, like, bearded, grizzled, sort of, like, cranky, you know, old man dealing with his legacy performance. And it's just, like, honestly, I was...
Everyone I had talked to – I saw it late and everyone I had talked to had loved it. And I was just sort of like, yeah, but I don't know. Nicolas Cage movies are a real hit and miss sort of thing. And I saw that and Mandy sort of back to back and I was just like, wow, this is – He's in his bag, his element. But Pig, I just cannot recommend enough. And that makes me so excited for this movie.
So, yeah.
