Surprise!!! We have ANOTHER special 'ween ep just for YOU, Devoted Listener. Today, we do a long, deep dive into the overwhelmingly horny 1992 vampire romance/horror Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. This movie is Saysha's Roman Empire and one of her Special Interests, so buckle up for some long infodumps and highly detailed costume descriptions. We also touch on interspecies romance, Keanu Reeves's accent work, and introduce a brand new segment called Melanie's Quotes!

OOOOOOOOOOO this is gonna be an ooky, spooky, kooky episode indeed!  Can you believe Melanie has never seen the legendary primetime TV adaptation of the great Stephen King novel It?  I forced her to watch it so we could share some sisterly clown trauma and discuss how and why this was made for television to traumatize an entire generation of kids! This is our second film featuring Tim Curry and the first of MANY Stephen King offerings, so enjoy and have a SPOOOOOOOOKY Halloween!!!

MMMMMMMMMM!!!! Today's episode is SUPER special for us because it took MANY MANY months of cajoling to get Melanie to actually sit down and watch this! And even though The Dark Crystal was not marketed as an actual *horror* movie, we are keeping with our spooky movie theme this month because Melanie definitely got some new nightmare fuel from this film. We yap about more puppet trauma, the importance of high-femme fantasy characters, biodiversity, and manage to sprinkle in some of Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey in there for all of you NERDS who listen! 

Correction: Saysha says that Jim Henson was inspired by lobster shells to create the Garthim design, when it was actually Brain Froud who was so inspired!

So many munchings and crunchings! This week Saysha realizes that one of the movies she has recommended to Melanie perhaps does NOT stand up to scrutiny. However, there is still MUCH to discuss, including but not limited to overdone fantasy tropes, TTRPGs, annoying voice acting choices, and how early to mid-80s fantasy movies were mainly created to put the fear of death into a generation of young kids! Enjoy!!!

ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON HALLOWEEN!!! We are kicking off October with one of Saysha's favorite unhinged childhood classics-The Worst Witch from 1986! We have a TON of fun discussing cozy witch academia, inappropriate age-gap crushes, green screen shenanigans, and how J.K Rowling is the biggest loser hack of all time! Enjoy!!!

Correction: Bella Ramsey's pronouns are they/them :)

Greetings, Fellow Witches! We are *really* getting into some spooky season favorites now and breaking down the childhood trauma classic, The Witches! Melanie has neither read the book nor seen the movie, so we get a whole fresh take on the scary witch prosthetics and the adorable mouse puppetry. We also discuss at length how a long holiday by the sea could fix us both!

WOW y'all, this one might be one of our best episodes yet! We discuss an all-time favorite and extremely cursed 1980s children's fantasy film-The Neverending Story! We delve deep into Melanie's fear and hatred of puppetry, the stoicism of German culture, the inherent queerness of fae creatures, and gender roles in the 1980s. This one is one of Saysha's all-time favorites, so the reaction to this one was HEARTBREAKING to say the very least!

Just a quick note: Around 25:28 Melanie's mic gets a little choppy so you can't quite hear, but she DOES say that Artax's death scene is "fucked up" and "sad" :(

G’Day mates! This week, we do a LONG cozy ramble about the 1994 Australian sleeper hit Muriel’s Wedding! We recap the WHOLE film, discuss 90’s fashion AT LENGTH, get into the scam of the wedding industrial complex, and dissect working class culture while ALSO planting the seeds of a green card marriage for Melanie ( all potential suitors please email us at [email protected]!)

In this week's podcast, we talk about that weirdly beloved whimsigoth classic from 1998...Practical Magic! We talk a *little* more about the actual film, but mostly discuss 90's home decor, numerous unrelated TV shows, and the commodification of witchcraft in general. We will probably get a LOT of hate for this one but we DO NOT CARE.

Saysha and Melanie DIVE into the 1975 Steven Spielberg classic Jaws, which somehow Melanie has NEVER seen despite being a massive fan of bodies of water and marine life in general! They barely discuss the details of the movie at all, but do discuss the food, fashion, and mourn over the abandoned romantic subplot at length! *Melanie's mic quality is a tad shabby on this ep, but tune in to Ep 2 to hear a massive upgrade!:)*
