Charmed: A Spellcast!

Episode 9: The Witch is Back or "Shayna laughed really hard when she listened back to her own opening joke"

Ya ladies are back in town for this review of Season 1, Episode 9 of Charmed: "The Witch is Back." We're just one episode away from Bryce and Shayna's reunion - the most anticipated reunion since Buffy, Friends, and Gilmore Girls COMBINED. But until then, listen in on an episode that had us both appalled at the amount of graphic murder, and heartwarmed at the familial bonding. Also, I would just like to say that it's very rude that we've both returned to NYC for this negative-degree weather with wind chill. Not a real temperature for real humans.

Episode 8: The Truth Is Out There...and It Hurts or "That Guy is a Bad Murder Man"

We've both been in the midst of travelling so this episode is out a little late! But it's here at last, so get ready for a fun-filled hour as we review Season 1, Episode 8 of Charmed: "The Truth is Out There...and It Hurts." This time we get a little spicy as we follow Detective Phoebe on the case, Piper threatening to quit Quake, and Prue attempting to give Canada's Finest one last chance. Who will prevail: anti-vaxxers, or witches who can't tell a lie for 24 hours??

Episode 7: The Fourth Sister or "Buns for buns and masc for mascara"

Happy 2019 folx! What better way to ring in the new year than listen to our review of Season 1, Episode 7: "The Fourth Sister." And Shayna is in some distant, European country, so who knows what I'll write! It's total chaos!

Luckily, as a professional amateur podcaster, I will just let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed talking about this episode of Charmed. If you've ever listened to too much MCR, dyed your hair an unnatural color, or tried to summon portals to demons in your bedroom, then this is the ep for you. Enjoy :)

Episode 6: The Wedding From Hell or "Piper can't believe they ordered pizza"

Hello, we see you've returned for yet another hot take on episodes of Charmed! This time we're reviewing Season 1, Episode 6: "The Wedding From Hell." Listen in as we discuss the merits of tiny tuxes, the comically inaccurate portrayal of Greek mythology, and TV shows we don't have the rights to directly reference. This is the FIRST of our episodes aired while your two hosts are apart for the winter (and the last ep where we maintain sanity).

It's all fun and rom-coms until a dude tries to kill you in your sleep. Welcome to Season 1, Episode 5, "Dream Sorcerer!" This week, we talk consent, ideals of beauty, and, as always, Lana Condor. Stick around for our first personalized jingle, a Casper-worthy rap from Bryce, and a feminist doo-wop from Shayna!

We're back with an enthusiastic, in-depth, and unqualified review of Season 1, Episode 4 of Charmed: "Dead Man Dating." This episode has got us talking about representation amongst romantic leads, the god of death, and pink convertibles. We, too, aren't sure how they all ended up in the same conversation.

Spells and snark and sexual politics, oh my!

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Charmed: A Spellcast!, a biweekly podcast in which we are recapping every episode of the original series of Charmed.

Today Shayna and Bryce, joined briefly by special guest Cierra, are diving into S1Ep1: Something Wicca This Way Comes. We talk about bad '90s special effects, trash men, and the deep parallels between identifying as LGBTQ+ and the Charmed Ones coming to terms with being witches. Stick around to get a little magical with us, and for an original song after each episode!
