Summary

'Tis time, sistahs! For our Halloween episode, we're riding our vacuums to Salem to hang out with the Sanderson Sisters. Along for the ride is Laura Di Girolamo, co-director of The Bloody Mary Film Festival and self-proclaimed Hocus Pocus obsessive (how many times has she seen this?!) We're running amok, amok, amok praising Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and never-more-beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker, while throwing shade at Thackery Binx's work ethic and Omri Katz's atrocious Final Boy, Max. Plus: Joe's theory about virginity (courtesy of Aaron Wallace's Hocus Pocus in Focus), Kenny Ortega's history as a queer activist, the functionality of hair curlers and Trace's argument that the film is legitimate gateway horror (child death!)
