Based on the book by Roald Dahl, The Witches is about an orphaned boy who flees a rural town with his grandmother in order to escape a group of diabolical witches. Trouble is, the duo are then faced with the worst witch of them all - The Grand High Witch, played by Anne Hathaway. In this episode, we review HBO's latest feature-length offering, The Witches, and discuss if this whimsical live-action retelling of a children's book was truly the film Robert Zemeckis should have made.
