·1 hr 28 min·5 clips

Joel Myers got the call that he'd play Albus Potter on Broadway while sitting in a dentist chair.

The episode opens with hosts Andrew, Eric, Micah, and Laura introducing the week's topics: answering listener emails about 'Goblet of Fire' and featuring an interview with Joel Myers from 'Cursed Child.' They preview upcoming MuggleCast content, including an 'Order of the Phoenix' movie commentary and chapter-by-chapter re-read. Micah shares a travel anecdote about a Harry Potter-themed bar in Edinburgh. The interview with Joel Myers covers his audition story, favorite Harry Potter elements, and experiences performing on Broadway, including the physical demands and thematic insights into 'Cursed Child.' After the interview, the hosts revisit their seven-word chapter summaries for 'Goblet of Fire' and vote to redo one. They then dive into listener emails, which explore theories on Voldemort's resurrection plan, the Dark Mark, Barty Crouch Jr.'s motivations, and comparisons between Triwizard tasks and earlier books. Other emails discuss casting for the HBO series, security flaws at Hogwarts, and connections to Shakespeare and 'Fantastic Beasts.' The episode concludes with quiz answers, promotion of MuggleCast Gold and Patreon, and a call for Instagram followers.
