Exclusive: Radcliffe and Watson Discuss ‘Deathly Hallows’

Daniel Radcliffe makes fun of Film School Rejects, then claims they are doing something incredibly different with the last two Harry Potter films. Plus, Emma Watson talks about being chased through the forest by Snatchers. I have no idea if that’s a Potter thing or if it’s wacky British slang for paparazzi.

Reject Radio – Episode 5: How To Recognize Different Types of Trees From Quite a Long Ways Away

Questioning why we’re still on the air? So are we. We think it has something to do with this letter we got in the mail citing “gross negligence” and telling us to “desist.” We love desisting!

New Harry Potter 6 Posters Are Rife With Subtleties

Sometimes posters can be oh so wrong. They can be boring and flat and either blend into the background of the local movie theater or worse, turn people off seeing the movie. Of course, for every negative, there’s a positive. We’ll leave you to decide where these fall.
