Charmed: A Spellcast!

S2E20: Astral Monkey or "Did we mention that we're sorry?"

The boys are back in town. It's comeback season in the Warner-Wong household and we are so happy to get back to sharing our opinions that nobody asked for. In true Spellcast fashion, we are going to ease into it by first sharing one from the vaults: a never-before-heard episode about evil, monkeys, and one man's spiral into madness. Why didn't we release it and then stick to a normal podcasting schedule, you may ask? You'll just have to tune in next time to find out! [but for real... we're so sorry]

S2E18: Ex Libris or "So many daddy issues in one episode"

Here now, at the end of time, your favorite spellcasting duo are ready to grant one last episode to listen to as we enter the void (and then we'll be back next year). This episode is a silly romp through libraries that's interrupted by sobering brushes with the faulty criminal justice system and unwanted meditations on strained relationships with family! We get excited by Piper's meeting with Leo's former love and are curious to see whether Shayna is enjoying the evolution of Prue's character upon rewatch. But, perhaps most importantly, The Goo Goo Dolls.

S2E18: Chick Flick or "I'm not having a bad time. I'm just having a time."

Happy spoopy libra season, our little babies! It's time again to get existential over an episode of the original Charmed. This episode got us thinking about how movies and television shaped our early understandings about relationships and reality. And about how Scooby Doo was a masterpiece that influenced young-people-monster-shows and Bryce's psyche forever more.

S2E17: How to Make a Quilt Out of Americans or "You get youth! You get youth! Look under your chairs! Everyone gets youth!"

Once more, we've returned with some sweet, sweet content for our listeners. This episode we get to talk horror movie tropes, the pettiness of Piper, and how age is but a number that dictates our agency and semblance of belonging. We think you'll like it! Let's talk vanity (I bet you think this post is about you).

S2E16: Murphy's Luck or "Happy Pride, from your lil monsters"

Like any good gremlin, we've multiplied since you've last heard from us! On this episode we bring along special guest star, Liana, to get into another rant about magic. We talk about the wild days of 90s fashion, how fantasy turns personifies inner demons, and the level of angst that Leo can have in the attic. Tune in for the chaos, stay for the can of worms!

S2E15: Give Me a Sign or "Don't follow your dreams"

Okay, we're finally back with some recaps and reviews of Charmed, the show we meant to make this podcast about. Welcome, once more, to the early 2000s! We have long tirades on the hopelessness of happiness in a capitalistic society, pleas to let Prue live her life, and meditations on what a bureaucracy for demons would look like.

But above all, we got three sisters, a former whitelighter, and a former-mobster-turned-convict all just trying to make it in this wacky comedy about life in San Francisco.

S2 special: WandaVision or "She had a bad life but now she's a superhero"

Are you ready to talk Charmed again?? Well, we're here to disappoint you. This episode we're taking a quick diversion to offer our unasked for opinions on the Disney+ series, WandaVision. We get into it about the movie magic manipulation of Marvel, witches with laser beam powers, and (of course) how super, super, unbelievably bisexual Kathryn Hahn is. (holy cow...new t-shirt idea...?)

In the most ambitious crossover of 2021, the Spellcast discusses the Scarlet Witch -- because it was witches all along.

S2E14: Pardon My Past or "We're your meaningless noise"

Back again for some more content while on your commute? Well we'd hate to disappoint, so here's our latest pod ep reviewing our favorite inconsistencies and eyebrows in Charmed! We're going back a century for this one, to when speakeasies abounded, people had Cruella DeVil cigarette holders, and our sweet Phoebe was evil 😈

Sweep out your manors with us as we ramble on about past lives, tradition, and how glad we are that this episode isn't Animal Pragmatism.

S2E13: Animal Pragmatism or "Now that thought has to be in my head"

Coming to you a little late but always just as well seasoned is our recap and review of another episode of Charmed! As always, we open with some light philosophizing and we close with just baffled dematerializing. If you want to listen to us get all worked up for an episode in which we discuss animals turning into men (aka "manimals"), confirm monogamy as boring, and somehow reference Old Boy, tune right on in!

We're still working on our mic situations as we podcast remotely, so please forgive any fuzziness or muffledness! We <3 u!

S2E12: Awaken or "I don't need no scrubs"

Happy new dawn, happy new day our witchy babies. If you're choosing this time to begin anew, we congratulate you. If you're opting to stay exactly the same, we respect and appreciate you. To celebrate all this, we have a new pod ep that's actually about Charmed!

This one's full of ER intercom announcements, horned melons, and our desire to see Holly Marie Combs cry. It's good to be back :)
