S1·E18 Where's Harry Potter?

Episode recap

The eighteenth installment of the first season of NSFW Show, titled “Where’s Harry Potter?” brings the regular hosts—magician and scam artist Brian Brushwood and journalist Justin Robert Young—into a new format that blends their characteristic irreverence with a competitive fantasy‑sports premise. The episode opens with the introduction of three guests: Ryan Connolly and Timmy Allen, who are identified as members of Revision3’s Film Riot, and Jason Murphy, who represents Spill.com’s League of Extremely Ordinary Gentlemen. Together, the five participants form the core of what the show describes as its first ever Summer Movie Draft.

The central activity of the episode is a five‑way bidding war designed to launch a summer‑long fantasy league in which each participant attempts to acquire ownership of upcoming summer blockbusters. The draft proceeds as the hosts and guests discuss the merits of various films slated for release, placing bids and negotiating in real time. The structure of the competition is framed as a contest of strategic selection, with each bidder aiming to assemble a portfolio that will outperform the others over the course of the season.

Throughout the segment, the conversation remains focused on the mechanics of the draft, the criteria used to evaluate potential blockbuster acquisitions, and the dynamics of the bidding process itself. The hosts maintain their trademark humor while guiding the participants through the rules and stakes of the league. The episode does not reveal a winner; instead, it teases that the outcome of the competition will be disclosed in September, indicating that the results will be determined after the summer release window has concluded.

By integrating guests from distinct online media outlets—Film Riot and Spill.com—the episode underscores the show’s commitment to drawing on a diverse range of pop‑culture expertise. The format of a fantasy‑style draft marks a departure from the series’ usual interview and game segments, offering viewers a novel way to engage with the anticipation surrounding summer cinema. The episode concludes with a reminder that the eventual champion of the Summer Movie Draft will be announced later in the year, setting the stage for continued viewer interest in the league’s progression.
