Disney+’s Agatha All Along has ended. In honor of this amazing show, we’ve convened a Coven of Chaos to discuss the show’s impact.
After introducing our guests Bryn MacKinnon and Debra Lang, hosts Sarah Woloski and Tricia Barr kick off the show with our impressions of the Skeleton Crew‘s trailer. No one seemed to mind the Huttesse version of “Major Tom.” Skeleton Crew premieres with two episodes on Disney+ December 3.
Once the coven determined which witch they were should we ever travel the Witches’ Road, we shared our favorite episodes from Agatha All Along and discussed the titular character’s journey as a Mother on her way to becoming a Crone. Everyone agreed that there was magick in the creation of the show, from the passion for the costume design to the intricate weaving of the script and direction. Showrunner Jac Schaefer’s interview with THR offered great insight into the storytelling process where reveals are nested one inside the other. Sarah dove into the craft in making the Ballad of the Witches’ Road, dovetailing off our discussion in our previous episode focusing on Lorna Wu’s version as compared to the version featured in Episode 2 “Circle Sewn With Fate/Unlock Thy Hidden Gate.”
Our Zoom chats will reconvene once Skeleton Crew premieres so check back here for dates and times.
