SMALL TALK & BIG KITCHENS, our mini-series on the romcoms of Nora Ephron and Nancy Meyers, continues with the convoluted cinematic sitcom adaptation about a sitcom reboot.

After being involved with three flops in a row (2 movies and a play), Nora needed an easy win. So when Columbia Pictures head honcho Amy Pascal called asking for Nora’s help with an adaptation of Bewitched that already had Nicole Kidman attached to star, Nora was positive she had the perfect take on the material that would be a guaranteed blockbuster hit.

She was wrong.

Join Nick and Scott as they stare directly into the existential open maw of metatextual cosmic horror that is 2005’s BEWITCHED while wishing for a movie that actually knows how to properly use Will Ferrell in a romantic context.
