Tales From The Enchanted Forest

With Halloween fast approaching, Fox and Sparrow bravely explore the spookier part of the Enchanted Forest. This Taiwanese tale features two sisters who are left home alone until they suddenly hear a mysterious knock at the door. 

During this week's Current Obsession catch-up, Fox tells of her latest Netflix binge and kindly explains Korean reality shows to Sparrow. Meanwhile, Sparrow gushes over her new favourite podcast about NBC's The Office.
