Finally the “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them” episode has arrived and the Harry Potter loving panel is all too happy to discuss it. Follow us on Twitter @screamatscreens..

But first entertainment news:

“Kong: Skull Island” has released its 2^nd much longer and detailed trailer that creates a confusing mix of reactions. From awe at the size of Kong, to the doubts that the story line wont be much better than the last.

At least the cast looks great:

The next trailer is surprisingly serious, which is not the norm for the SATS crew. “The Zookeepers Wife” is a movie based on the true story of the director of a Polish Zoo in Warsaw and his family who help 300 Jews escape the Ghettos during the Nazi invasion in 1939.

An obvious tearjerker that looks worth the watch

In non-trailer news, it has been announced that “Mortal Combat” will be having a reboot, which seems like a good thing considering how CGI and 3D have improved since the 1995 version. However, it would seem a director of commercials will be steering this ship and the 1995 producer will be involved. The only saving grace is that James Wong will also be one of the producers involved.

Another article of interest is from the Hollywood Reporter discussing the rising pay for big names on TV.

They list a variety of cast from Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead as well as the big Netflix shows. The pay checks of some of these actors/actresses is mind blowing. Including Chris Rock who will be getting pad $20 Million each for two comedy specials. Wish they would make a deal like that with Dave Chapelle, his SNL TWD skit was hilarious.

Moving on to what were watching, Ricardo and Tiffany express their disappointment with “The Walking Dead” that seems to be pulling another season 2 of drawn out drama and filler episodes. However, fans have learned you can say “Slip my dick down your throat” on AMC, Awesome!!!

Another TV mammoth “American Horror Story” has completed its 6 season. This season was an adrenaline filled hot mess. However, this season may have taken the cake for a good season that went out on a whimper instead of a roar.

Now on to the main Attraction; the long awaiting release of “Fantastic Beast and Where To Find Them” was well received this past weekend. It had a $75 Million opening Domestically, $143 Million World Wide for a $218 Million Total. That’s at least enough to cover the production cost of $180 million and secure the sequels.

It didn’t hit the high notes in ratings, getting only 76% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.0 on IMDB but it was definitely magical. This review is from a pair of Harry Potter fanatics, therefore it comes across as critical, but there’s nothing but love as Ricardo and Tiffany discuss their biggest complaints that pale in comparison to their favorite parts. Some points might go a bit deep into the Harry Potter fandom but it’s useful information for those who are new to the J.K. Rowling Wizarding World.

In What You Should be Watching, One of Tiffany’s favorite horror anthology movies, “Tales From The Dark Side” is now available on Netflix, and like many of these horror shorts from the 90’s, they are filled with budding big name actors.

Ricardo covers two new to DVD releases on movies that have been reviewed on SATS before, “Kubo and the Two Strings” and “Wardogs”, both movies received good reviews.

For next weeks review the Movie will be “Moana” and as it is a “kids” movie there will be a special guest, Noah. A 9 year old that has had so much movie knowledge pushed on him; he can now guess plot points better than most adults. He will join only for the actual movie review as the SATS crew already struggles to remain PG-13.
