This week on Broomsticks and Bloodshed, Cory and Rosśa crack open the glittery, chaotic spellbook that is the 1989 cult classic Teen Witch. What starts as a simple high school fantasy quickly spirals into magical makeovers, bizarre musical numbers, questionable spellwork, and one of the most legendary rap battles ever committed to film.

The story follows Louise Miller, a shy and chronically overlooked teenager who discovers she is the reincarnation of a powerful Salem witch. With guidance from the mysterious Madame Serena and a magical amulet tied to her past life, Louise suddenly gains the power to bend reality to her will. Popularity, confidence, and the attention of Brad, the school’s golden boy, are suddenly within reach. But as Louise reshapes her life with magic, the line between genuine connection and magically manufactured affection begins to blur.

The hosts break down the film’s many unforgettable moments, from the wildly cringeworthy “Top That” rap battle to the strange pacing, chaotic storytelling, and pure 80s energy that turned this oddball movie into a cult favorite. Along the way, they also examine how the film portrays witchcraft and how it compares to real magical practice, asking whether Louise’s journey is truly about power or simply learning to believe in herself.

Part nostalgic time capsule, part magical coming-of-age story, and part accidental comedy, Teen Witch remains one of the strangest entries in the witchy movie canon. Join Cory and Rosśa as they revisit the spells, the style, and the wonderfully weird legacy of a film that proves sometimes the magic is in the mess. 🧙‍♀️✨
