Basic Snitches

Time for a Timed Tuner!!! This week, the wheel decided that we would talk about the Harry Potter amusement parks! Tara shares her experience at Universal Studios in Florida and the conversation moves to the amusement parks we have here in Ohio. It's a fun one that just makes us wish we could afford to travel more 😂

In this character episode, Adam and Tara attempt to put together an accurate timeline of Voldy's life...it goes as well as expected.

It's time for our first bracket of season 9! In this episode, we discuss all of the characters that should have been in the movies and how important they each are.. And of course, because this is a bracket episode, we have to pick a winner.. who's it gonna be?

What is even happening???!?!?!!? Unlike our happy little recap of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Crimes of Grindelwald is a rough watch for us. Kudos to the fantastic actors and the cinematography...and to the zouwu (and all the ways we mispronounce it). Anyway, enjoy the longest recap ever on Basic Snitches... and the confusion...so. much. confused

Welcome to Basic Snitches, season 9! And happy holidays, Linda! We're kicking off the season with a holiday game episode! Adam and Tara are playing classic Snitches games and getting into the holiday spirit! Enjoy some classic BS games and welcome to season 9!!!

Here it is, folks...the final episode of season 8....all the missing pieces you didn't know you needed.... Are these outtakes ooky and spooky? Maybe. You'll just have to listen 😉 Oh, and we'll be back with SEASON 9 before you can miss us too much 😉

Next time you watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, play the CORRECT dialogue with this episode 😁 Thank you to Peggy, Victoria, Jean and Dan for joining us!

In this Timed Turner episode, Adam and Tara turn a bit nostalgic as they identify what objects they would be turning into horcruxes in order to live forever.... 😈

It's time for our character deep dive on Ronald Weasley!!! Ron...kinda sucks sometimes...but also, we are all a little bit Ron and maybe we should remember that these are children... 🤷‍♀️ Oh, and we love Rupert Grint. Obviously 😁 Apologies for the delay on this one! We'll be back in 2 weeks with more Snitches shinanigans ❤️❤️

It's spa day with the Basic Snitches! Just kidding! Adam just needs to be comfortable after being subjected to spending too much time with Tara 🤷‍♀️ Time for a Bracket episode! Spells for battle!🪄 Sorry Harry, your favorite spell ain't gonna cut it this time 😂

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, part 2 - Adam and Tara revisit the second half of their NYC Cursed Child experience. Scorpius is still a cinnamon roll, pink bitch still needs to die, and Hermione is badass in EVERY timeline. Meanwhile, Harry and Draco bond over being bad dads, Snape still sucks, Ron and Hermione have FOMO and the villain of this play is really terrible. Look out for Professor McGonagall'a upcoming memoir: Haven't I Had Enough? (The answer is yes. Yes she has. Let the poor woman run her school in peace!)

BONUS EPISODE time! In the final episode of this chapter, we share snippets from our Patreon Archive and give you EVEN MORE SARAH, as well as Roxana, Brian, Victoria and Dan (some of our favorite Snitches, of course). We play Guess Who and Wrong Answers Only and Tara tells everyone she's bad at things. Enjoy, Snitches!!!

It's time for a spelling bee! Roxana, Sarah and our voice to text friend face off to become the champion! Hosted by Adam and Tara, this is a spelling bee unlike any other... Also, them Ravenclaws are good spellers 😉

This has turned into nearly an entire chapter focused on Ravenclaws! Though unintentional, we are we not not mad about it! Sarah is here again to be the Tara translator - This Timed Turner episode focuses on Ravenclaws in the series.. particularly the ones that we like, but we definitely discuss the assholes 🤷‍♀️

For our character study on Hermione, Sarah is here! (Tara has laryngitis but is here too!) After a roast of our silent co-host, we jump into our deep dive on the woman who kept two stupid boys alive for 7 years.

Bracket Timeeeeee!!!! As this chapter turns towards being Ravenclaw coded (please stay tuned... 😂), we talk about BOOKS!!! Adam put together a bracket of 16 books from the series and we crown one classic as the winner 🏆 But don't worry, even though there is only one winner, we keep all the books in our Snitch Library 😁😁

We're finally here. Cursed Child (part 1). Revising our 2019 trip to NYC where we saw the play on Broadway, we discuss the good and the bad. Part one is a tough one for Harry, but we love Ginny, we're rooting for Scorpius, and we're still confused as fuck about the trolley witch.

Happy bonus episode, Snitches! Here we share some of our favorite Screen Rant discussions (disagreements) previously shared on Patreon! Some (most) of these lists are terrible but every now and again, someone gets something right 🤷‍♀️

Apparently everyone is Brian and Sarah today (and naked...and Tara hasn't been invented)... Anyway, if you haven't had enough chaos in your life, here's the missing piece...Basic Snitches Improv Night!!!

On this Timed Turner episode, we discuss all the Harry Potter spin-offs that we would watch...we start off pretty standard suggesting the need for a series about McGonagall and the Marauders and the founders of Hogwarts... Then, as you would expect, it gets weird (though not as weird as it could be, considering who we are...)
