The Fancast movies podcast makes its triumphant return after taking last week off so cohost Sean O'Connell could travel to London and help assist in the clean-up efforts following the events of Thor: The Dark World. But now we're back, and there's a whole lot to talk about. On this week's podcast, Erik Davis and Sean O'Connell go over the week's top three news stories, including official confirmation of the first Star Wars: Episode VII character, as well as some Beetlejuice sequel buzz and, of course, Batkid. Who doesn't love this kid? Additionally, we'll talk all things Hunger Games: Catching Fire, including our nonspoiler review of the movie and whether you should read the book first.

As always, thanks so much for listening and please feel free to comment on today's discussion below.
