It's April Fool's Day! And because we can all use a bit of silliness right about now, the Crooked Table Podcast is setting aside the usual format for a timely jaunt into the world of magic and illusions. No democratizing the film criticism conversation this week. And this week's special episode isn't even (exclusively) designed to be a tie-in to our just-launched Harry Potter series. Rather, the concept is directly inspired by a longtime friend and recurring guest of the show.

The Famous Ashley Grant returns for a third (or fourth) time -- no one really knows -- to discuss her thoughts on the wackiest unofficial holiday, reveal why she prefers magic and illusions over pranks, and tease her latest project. Then we'll discuss some of the best movies featuring witches, wizards, magicians, and illusionists. Spoilers: The Boy Who Lived does get a special mention.

So take your front row seat to a podcast episode the likes of which you've never seen, er, heard. And let us dazzle your ears with a fun, laid-back chat about April Fool's Day and all that it entails. Stay safe and sane out there, folks!
