RiaW #214: Hocus Pocus Reviewed


Listen Later

Happy Halloween, everybody. What is that? Trick or treat? How about a treat, our favorite Halloween-themed Disney movie from the early 90s starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and a talking cat!

Hocus Pocus is the 1993 feature film (promoted from straight-to-Disney-channel at the last minute) that defined Halloween for many of our childhoods. It’s basically a witchy take on the Three Stooges and no effort whatsover is taken to have a logical plot.

The witches could win at any moment by simply USING YOUR SUPER POWER, IDIOTS! But we’re lucky they didn’t because instead they created a creepy 300-year-old cat with a human brain. Oh the possibilities (we go into great detail).

It would take a special kind of sour puss to hate this movie, so we don’t bother.
