  • Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Eps 1&2: Messing with Mortal Boys

    In this episode, we're finally covering Netflix's 'The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,' episodes 1 and 2!

    We discuss our love for Jeff from Coupling (Richard Coyle, who plays Father Blackwood), Miss Wardwell (Michelle Gomez), Ambrose, the Weird Sisters,  and the Aunties! We give a summary of both episodes, why that old guy with a goat is always around at Sweet 16s (wasn't he at your's too?), and finding our familiars in a catalog.

    Of course, we also go off on tangents about Carrie, our starkly contrasting high schools, and not-so-sweet-16s.

  • Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass Book Series): Part 2

    We conclude our discussion on the 5th book in the 'Throne of Glass' series, 'Empire of Storms.' In this episode, we cover how helpful Abraxos would be while your solving puzzles (because of course!), the importance of letting your friends know about your plans to have them sire children that your partner will claim, and some bad ass witches.

  • The Witches (2020): Octavia Spencer and the 2020 Pie

    We conclude our adventure into the different tellings of the story 'The Witches' with the 2020 film, directed by Robert Zemeckis and adapted by Zemeckis, Kenya Barris, and Guillermo del Toro. It stars Anne Hathaway (who is just giving it EVERYTHING), Octavia Spencer (who we spotlight as our 'Witch of the Week'), and Jahzir Bruno (who's going to take over the world of film sometime soon). Also, you get your fill of an awesome CGI cat, Chris Rock (who's recruiting an army of child assassins), and Stanley 'The Tooch' Tucci!

    I'm very sorry for the delay in releasing this episode. Due to health issues, I (Linda) have been struggling to gather enough 'spoons' to get things done. Also, it doesn't help that I forgot to send Donnie (our editor) my audio file. You guys are amazing and we really appreciate your patience. Jane says, 'Hi.'

  • The Witches (1990 Movie):A Boy Gets a Name

    We can finally stop doing our best Tall Man impersonations, with calling the child 'BOOOYYEEEE' - He's given a name in a terrifying children's movie that's packed with Henson creatures, Rowan Atkinson, and bald dudes.

    Join us as we discuss the original movie version of 'The Witches' and the brilliant Anjelica Huston!

    Stay tuned at the end for a promo from our friends at Hush Hush Society.

  • The Witches (novel): Show Your Sources, Grandma!

    This week we're talking about Roald Dahl's 1983 story The Witches! Linda discusses a really inappropriate mis-read and we discover Jane's full name and proper titles: Jane Janerson, III, Esq, MBA, MD, DM, Magical Malfeasance Project Manager.

    Join us while we talk about unloved and unhealthy mice-children, grim mouse-child outlooks, mouse harems, and unproductive planning for the eradication of children.

  • Queen of Shadows, Part 2: Witchling Knob

    Here it is! As promised, part 2 of our Queen of Shadows episode! We finish covering book 4 in Sarah J. Maas's book series, Throne of Glass. In this episode, we discuss the actual magic-practitioner characters and (our favorite) Abraxos, the puppy dragon!

  • Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass Series, Book 4) Part 1: Emo Warrior Boy

    Our apologies: This episode went way too long so we split it into 2 parts. This first part covers everything that happened in the 4th book of Throne of Glass, Queen of Shadows, with the non-witch and non-wyvern characters (and you guys know how much we love Abraxos). To make it up to you, we won't make you wait 2-weeks for the next episode. We'll be posting Part 2 next Wednesday, 10/14. 

    In this episode, we cover Aelin, mopey Chaol and his bromantic devotion to poor Dorian; Nesryn, the hottest and baddest guard; the rescue of Aedion; and our favorite edible Fae prince, Rowan.

    P.S. The message at the end is TOTALLY from Linda.

  • The Craft: Mac n Cheese, Magic, and Metal

    This week, Jane and Linda discuss the 1996 cult classic (and fave among goth kids in the 90's), The Craft! They cover their issues with the story, the racist bs that went on behind-the-scenes, and they spotlight the amazing Rachel True!
