Edgar Wright's Baby Driver kept us on the edge of our seats with its tale of a high stakes getaway driver named Baby (Ansel Elgort), and his struggle to get out of the business he's been locked into. The story may have gotten our heart pumping, but the added element of sound that courses throughout the film is what truly makes the Academy Award nominated film so spectacular. In this special episode of Hype Podcast, our co-host Pamela Gocobachi sits down with 2018 Oscar nominee Julian Slater ahead of Sunday night's awards to discuss how he went about creating the journey of sound that's featured in Edgar Wright's unique film.  Julian Slater, who served as the film's sound designer/supervising sound editor/re-recording mixer, scooped up two of Baby Driver's three nominations this year, including a solo nod for Best Achievement in Sound Editing, and one for Best Achievement in Sound Mixing alongside Tim Cavagin and Mary H.

Join the ladies of Hype Podcast as we take a deep dive into Merlin 1×02 “Valiant” and 1×03 “The Mark of Nimueh.” Welcome to the second episode of our Merlin rewatch! If you’ve been following along on our weekly regular show, you’ll know taking a deep dive into BBC’s beloved Arthurian Legend series (just like we’ve done with Gilmore Girls and The 100 is something we’ve been wanting to do for awhile. As with our past rewatch specials, we want to remind you that despite the fact that Selina and Pam have both already seen the series in full, all of our episodes will be spoiler free! That means if you’re watching along for the first time with us, we we won’t be discussing anything that happens past the episode(s) we’re highlighting in each installment of our Merlin rewatch series. You can listen to our previous episode discussion, for the series pilot “The Dragon’s Call,” right here. 1×02 “Valiant”: – How did we feel about this episode when it first aired 10 (!) years ago? – How did it work as a follow-up to the premiere? – Legend vs show: Knight Valiant in Arthurian Legends – What a weird plan – The tournament is a lot of fun – Does Arthur train all his servants, or just Merlin? – Arthur seems willing to listen to servants when Uther is not – Even though he’s angry at being humiliated, Arthur believes Merlin the whole time, even heading into the final battle and presumably his death knowing that the shield is magic – Uther and Arthur’s ideas of what constitutes a ‘good’ knight are very different – Plot hole: couldn’t Gaius have just told Uther about the poison and confirmed it was magic? Since this is exactly what he does in the next episode… – Would Uther’s snobbery/pride/inability to admit his own mistakes actually overrule his obsessive quest to eradicate magic? Do we really believe he wouldn’t jump at any chance to catch a saucerer, especially since actual evidence exists that magic is involved? – Arthur and Morgana’s will they/won’t they is heating up – Morgana “saving” Arthur: a cute moment, but ‘saving’ is a bit of an overstatement, no? – Fun facts! – Favorite scenes – Favorite quotes 1×03 “The Mark of Nimueh” – Three episodes in – are we hooked? – This feels like a significant episode in terms of the series overall – Legend vs Show: Nimueh and the Afanc in Arthurian Legends – How does Nimueh work as a villain? – Does she have a past with Uther and Gaius? – We get more info on how magic works in the show: Gaius describes Nimueh magic as being “of the darkest kind,” says magic ‘corrupts’ but also that “it’s neither good nor bad. It’s how you use it.” – Merlin almost seems like he has withdrawal symptoms after being told he can’t use magic to help the victims – While Uther is clearly insane, he IS also trying to save his people – Angel Coulby is amazing in this episode – Guinvere gives Merlin AND Morgana flowers… – Everyone is convinced that Merlin is in love with Gwen. So is he? – Tom and Gwen’s relationship – Merlin tries to sacrifice himself for Gwen; Arthur stops Merlin from taking Gwen’s place – It’s hard to believe Arthur and Gwen can ever become ‘Arthur and Guinevere’ from the legends – Finally Morgana gets involved with the action (even if just to come along and scream, but it’s a start) – Morgana and Gwen’s friendship is established: Morgana has complete belief in Gwen’s innocence – Defeating the afanc with elemental magic = air and fire can defeat earth and water – Do the Merlin foursome correspond to the four elements? – TThe dragon says Merthur is “two sides of the same coin” – Arthur’s views on magic in this episode is surprisingly fair and sensible – Favorite scenes – Favorite lines We round off as always with listener feedback.

This week, Hype Podcast calls YOU, the listeners, to hear how you’re hyping in 2018! Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s Eve and have entered 2018 in style. To celebrate another year of pop culture, this week’s show is a call-in special, where Selina and Pam talk to a bunch of listeners about their favorite pieces of entertainment from 2017 and what they’re looking forward to in 2018. We begin this show with a little How We Hype, and then we talk to listeners Laura, Jannik, Jasmine, Ning Xi and The Lady Ash. Note that the audio is of a little lower quality than what you’ve come to expect from us — this was unavoidable, because we had to record the conversation differently in order to take calls. It’ll be back to its usual standard next week. Thank you to everyone who called in and chatted with us, it is always wonderful to hear from listeners. Stay tuned for more opportunities like this in the future, and don’t forget you can always write into the show in all the usual ways: leave a comment on this post, tweet us @HypableHYPE, and/or email hype@hypable.com.

Just before Pam left San Diego Comic-Con 2017, she had the opportunity to catch up with electric violinist Lindsey Stirling! Stirling, who's known for fusing her music with stunning visuals, has been working hard on her first ever comic book series, 'Sparrow,' and we had a great time learning about what it took to bring the upcoming six-part series to life! Show Notes: - Pam and Lindsey hop right to it as Lindsey tells us about how writing for comic books was actually not so different from making up stories for her own music videos. - Like all great stories, ‘Sparrow’ started with a small idea. Lindsey talks us through how one track in particular inspired her first foray into comic book writing. - Like her music videos, comic books are all about how the visual stories come to life. Lindsey explains what it was like to watch the artist for ‘Sparrow’ sketch out the characters she’s come up with. - We talk about the general plot of ‘Sparrow’ and how light versus dark play into the plot. - Lindsey also explains her longterm fascination with the symbolism of light and darkness, and how she interprets the main source of conflict that ‘Sparrow’ presents. - Music isn’t the only thing that inspired ‘Sparrow.’ Lindsey tells us about some of her favorite fantasy stories and which she looked to for reference when creating her own world. - She also teases a few easter eggs peppered throughout the six-part comic book series that are sure to please longtime fans! - We talk a bit about one very special character set to make an appearance in the comics. Lindsey also explains the importance of making sure each character had a fleshed out backstory. - Is there hope for more stories from this particular universe? The answer is maybe! - We wrap things up with a few fun topics, including Harry Potter, our favorite thing about SDCC, and of course, ask Lindsey to join in our signature How We Hype segment to find out what she’s been enjoying in the realm of pop culture! Be sure to pick up a copy of the first issue of Lindsey Stirling's 'Sparrow' when it drops November 2017!

Sense8 had its second season premiere, then got cancelled, then announced a two-hour special all in less than two months! It’s been a whirlwind ride for Sense8 fans, and we know the Netflix cancellation and subsequent special announcement has taken its toll on everyone. To break down all the craziness, Sense8 superfan Kyle returns to Hype for this special all about Sense8 season 2 — and beyond! We’re also introducing two first-time Hype hosts: Brandi and Nasim. Shownotes: – Introductions! Meet your new hosts and welcome back an oldie. – Character Discussion: There’s so much to talk about, so we broke it down by character. In order of Wolgang, Kala, Sun, Riley, Capheus, Will, Nomi, Lito – Big questions we need the wrap-up special to answer: – How does the birthing of a cluster work? – Will Wolfgang live? – Most importantly, will the special be affected because they probably won’t be able to travel everywhere they need and they’ll probably have to spend WAY less money?
