GRD Cinemistress 104: Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore

Posted on Wednesday, June 22, 2022 by Carol the Cat

The Cinemistress swore after the mess that was Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald she would never again watch another Wizarding World movie in the theatres. No way JK Rowling would get any more of her money. And she held true to that. HBOMax got her money. The Cinemistress uncorked some wine and slogged through Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The Cinemistress has said “it can’t be worse than the last one” quite a few times to herself this month. Was she right this time? Were Dumbledore’s secrets worth it? Does Eddie Redmayne stare at the floor with an “aw, shucks” expression for 2 1/2 hours? Does anyone care about Credence? Listen and find out.
