Flix and Picks: Fantastic Beasts and the Secrets of Dumbledore.

Brayan Mendoza is not the only person to tell you that the Fantastic Beasts is a cursed and convoluted mess of a franchise. The films themselves being an unplanned and unsure story that has yet to flesh out. Johnny Depp being replaced as Grindleward due to his courtroom troubles with ex wife Amber Heard. Star Ezra Miller being the subject of a public mental breakdown. Finally, writer J.K Rowling and her not so great relationship with the trans community. Now you must be asking: what about the actual movie? is it really doomed to fail? Is there any hope for this starving franchise? Tune in and find out if it's good enough to make you look past all the controversies.
