Sickness kept us away from you last week, and travel is keeping us away from you next week, but in the meantime let’s talk about some dudes! The Young Dudes of course. It’s time for chapters 41-43 of the seminal fanfiction ‘All the Young Dudes’ and we’re talking about borrowing money between friends, Kevin Bacon, and “uuuuh….that’ll work”. Support …

It’s time for another of Kev’s favorite chapters, and this time it’s “The House-Elf Liberation Front” from Book 4! We’re talking how this chapter shapes Hermione as a character, real-world activism, how the current…well, state? of the author changes our view of the House Elves, and port workers!

This week we’re deviating a bit from our usual topic rotation and focusing on the new Harry Potter worlds within Epic Universe at Universal Studios Florida! We’re talking about what’s been confirmed, what’s rumored, the new park’s interaction with the existing Wizarding World areas, and our park-related pipe dreams! Support the show Support FFH on …

It’s the end of term for the boys of ‘All the Young Dudes’ and it’s pranks galore. We’re talking about the dynamics of friend groups, unbreakable vows, the ‘Ted Talk Cadance’, and a Brief History of The Rude Boy by Kevin R. Wilson.

Kev has selected another of his favorite chapters and this week it’s Book 4’s “Priori Incantatem”! We’re heavy on the wandlore this episode, and there are not nearly as many innuendos as there could be so you should be very proud of us. Also, a bit of light quantum physics- just for kicks.

We’ve talked a LOT on this show about the terrible dads of Harry Potter- but what about the good, decent, and divisive dads? Does the author treat fathers and mothers differently? We’re diving all up into fatherhood in HP this week- plus Tupac! Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us! IG: @thefoxandthefox…

We’re back and re-joining the Marauders for more ‘All the Young Dudes’, covering chapters 35-37. We’re talking Gilgamesh, Moony, mooning (as in, the baring your butt version), and lots and lots in between. Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow us!

It’s time for another of Kev’s favorite chapters and this time we’re showing our favorite Nearly Headless Ghost some love and revisiting “The Deathday Party” from Book 2. Amanda has a stroke trying to remember Nick’s full name, Kev has random fart stories, and Sir Patrick is a d*ck. Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthef…

Ya’ll ready for maybe the biggest Daddy Issues of the series? We hope so, because this week we’re taking on our next Dark Dive in the form of Bartemius Crouches Jr. AND Sr. Do idealogies actually take the form of a circle rather than a line? Which of the Bartys deserve a sliver of sympathy? And Amanda and Kev’s mind-meld powers reach new levels! Su…

Ilness has passed, tropical storm has blown on through, and it’s time for more ATYD! This week we’re covering chapters 32-34 and celebrating our favorite little werewolf’s 13th birthday. We’re basking in a surprisingly light-hearted chunk of this epic fic and having all kinds of fun, until of course it’s time to talk about the bane of Amanda’s exis…

This week Kev has chosen another of his all-time favorite chapters to cover, and we’re headed to Book 3’s “The Patronus”. What do Lupin’s lessons with Harry teach us about grief? Who is Team Hermione with the whole “rat-out-the-Firebolt” argument? And just how many euphamisms will we accidentally allude to when discussing all of this? Support the s…

It’s time for another Dark Dive and this time we’re taking on The Blondest of the Sacred 28- The Malfoys. Is Draco a cycle-breaker? Does Lucius have a redeemable bone in his fabulous-haired body? Is Narcissa a villain? There’s a lot to discuss, we’ll see you in there! Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefoxandthefoxhound Follow …

This week, we’re exploring more of our favorite (and admittedly only so far) fanfiction- ‘All the Young Dudes’! In discussing chapters 29-31, we’re getting in the Christmas spirit despite all the fist fights, angst, and actual child abuse (lookin’ at you, Wally Black). Fa la la la la indeed.

We unintentionally lied to you last week and we’re pulling a switcharoo on the chapter we’re revisiting! We’ve kicked ChatGPT to the curb and from now on when we feel like revisiting a chapter, Kev’s going to choose one of his favorites! First up is Book 2’s “The Very Secret Diary” and we’re taking our time with this action-packed pivot point in th…

Grab your unyielding dragon heartstring wand and make your hair as nuts as possible- it’s time to talk everything Bellatrix Lestrange. We’re dissecting her motivations, family tree, and the overlap between the Death Eaters and modern US politics. Plus- what makes the difference between a Norman Bates villian and a Joker villian? Above all, we promi…

Amanda is back to full health, but Kev is not- it’s time for a sniffly, sneezy journey through chapters 25-28 of ‘All The Young Dudes’. We’re talking Remus’s complicated feelings about Sirius and David Bowie, some youthful stealing, and ya know arranged marriages to first cousins. All to the backdrop of spooooky thunder! Support the show Support FF…

We’re back, and this week we’re bringing you a little bit of everything- an extra jumbo-sized Golden Egg full of hits, some new character creation, and news about Cursed Child and the new Universal Park! Plus: Amanda may have a cold so bad it’s terminal, a brand new Maurauder, and Kevin tells us about the witch he lived across the street from as a …

This week, we’re continuing our journey through the excellent “All the Young Dudes” and covering chapters 20-24. We’ve had our first good cry over this brilliant fanfic, we’re talking David Bowie and other musicians who are secret wizards and witches, and we have a shiny new and highly ridiculous giveaway for our next new Marauder! Support the show…

In a continuing effort to welcome hospitably the impending takeover of our AI overlords, we are once again letting ChatGPT selecty a random chapter for us to revisit and this time it’s Book 7’s titular “The Half-Blood Prince”. Kevin has conspiracy theories, Harry’s sass reaches epic new heights, and far too much of the episode is devoted to free li…

It’s Dreamcasting Week! This week we’re running down our favorite (and in many cases, thoroughly random) casting choices for various parts in the HP series’s next on-screen adaptation. When you hear our ideas you’ll cheer, you’ll weep, and you’ll think one or both of us is certifiably insane. See you in there! Support the show Support FFH on Patreo…

This week we’re continuing our fanfiction journey with Chapters 16-19 of ‘All The Young Dudes’, and it seems like some emotions are really starting to simmer among our beloved Marauders. Plus, we interview our 8 year-old niece- currently making her way through the books for the first time! Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefox…

Our AI overlords (ChatGPT) bequeathed us another random chapter to revisit and this time it’s Book 1’s ‘The Forbidden Forest’. It’s all of the whimsey of the first book with a nice jolt of terrifying shit deep in the heart of the school’s most irresponsible detention assignment. Also, C3PO for some reason? Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: p…

Buckle up kids, it’s time for another Dark Dive and this one’s a doozy- we’re wading through our deep and very thick hatred and dissecting the character of Dolores Umbridge. Is there room for compassion for her (don’t hold your breath)? What other characters share similarities with her? Is she in fact the creepy blonde child from ‘The Bad Seed’? Al…

We’re making our way further into the seminal fanfiction ‘All The Young Dudes’ and things are getting HEAVY (and we don’t just mean the rain cloud) with young Remus. Stories from our youth, a shocking amount of bad singing, and we find a way to relate things back to A Christmas Story…again. Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefo…

This week, we let ChatGPT suggest a random chapter to revisit and ended up with ‘The Unbreakable Vow’ from Book 6- a chapter that both of the Wilsons thought was an entirely different chapter! Kev misremembers the names of many characters, we discuss teenage politics, and sad bastard music! Support the show Support FFH on Patreon: patreon.com/thefo…
