What The Fangirl

This week we are talking about remakes, reboots and sequels in TV and film. We debate the reasons behind the trend and discuss whether there is any hope for the movie industry. (Alex says no, Bri thinks there might be!) Then we turn our attention to television, where we briefly discuss Glee's series finale and spot some new trends in series-enders. We revisit the ending of How I Met Your Mother and examine how we feel about it one year later. Finally, Bri updates us on the state of Young Adult fiction and Alex talks about what she is reading.
