In our Halloween episode, we read the tea leaves of three movies about crews of witches supporting each other, fighting demonic men, and (in one case) sucking the lifeblood from small children. And while "Practical Magic," "Hocus Pocus" and "The Witches of Eastwick" might appear to cry out for a #CovenGoals celebration of witchy power, these movies are a pretty wild broom-ride of giant performances, confounding gender politics, and having no idea what magic is. This week, we're thrilled to be joined by Syfy Wire writer Heather Mason to discuss Sandra Bullock's rom-com plot stuck in the middle of “Practical Magic” and whether “Hocus Pocus” is suitable for kids.
