🎃🧙‍♀️ This week on Tis the Podcast, Thom, Julia, and Anthony descend into the magical (and divisive) world of Return to Halloweentown! Was the franchise’s final entry a treat or a trick? The hosts break down everything from recasting controversy, missing “Halloweentown vibes,” awkward production choices, the infamous Dominion cult plotline, and why the iconic Cromwell magic just didn’t sparkle this time around. Plus: nostalgia debates, tales from Oklahoma, theme park Halloween makeovers, and the movies and shows on our radar for the 2027 slate.

It’s a full house of hot takes, “wait, what?” moments, and listener feedback—including that infamous recasting drama. Settle in as the crew reviews one of Disney Channel’s most controversial sequels and look ahead to next week, where they promise… something with a lot more magic. Don’t miss your weekly fix of festive fumbles and Christmas cheer—all year long!
