This week on The Third Reel: A Movie Podcast, we're diving deep into the career of two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone, one of the best actresses of her generation. But this time, we're shaking things up with a new format—The Draft!

If you’ve ever played fantasy football or are familiar with the concept, you’ll know how this works. Each of us takes turns selecting movies from Emma Stone's entire filmography, filling out five distinct categories. Once a category is filled, it's locked for that player, and that movie is off the table for everyone else. The draft order was determined by the fabled "Wheel of Names," and we're doing a snake draft, so everyone gets a fair shot. Think going first guarantees a win? Think again—because that player won’t pick again until the fifth round! There’s plenty of strategy involved, and we had a blast playing.

The categories are:

• Starring
• Supporting
• Drama
• Comedy
• Free Pick

Now, who wins? Well, that’s up to you! We’ll be sharing our full picks on social media, where you can vote in polls to crown the winner of the Emma Stone Draft.

To wrap things up, we’ve got one more quick Emma Stone-related game for you to play along with. It’s a games galore kind of episode, so don’t miss it!

Who won? We want to know!

We're back with the next instalment of our Review Series, and this time, we’re diving into the second film in the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

This episode ended up running longer than expected, so we’ve decided to split it into two parts. Part 1 covers Act 1, while Part 2 (which will be released tomorrow) picks up with Act 2 and wraps up with Act 3, along with our final thoughts and scores.

We'll be breaking down the film act by act and scene by scene, scoring each film on a scale of 1 to 10. If you remember, Philosopher’s Stone earned a TTR median score of 7, with Daniel giving it 7.5, Dale scoring it a 7, and Rachael at 6.5. Tune in tomorrow to see how Chamber of Secrets measures up!
