151: Myth Movie Night - Hocus Pocus

For Julia, nothing says Halloween quite like Hocus Pocus. For Amanda... she’s never seen it. Shocker. We dive into the Salem-inspired Disney Halloween classic, fall in love with Binx, question how a musical number could happen, and dream of a New England Halloween.  This week, Julia recommends Folk Magic and Healing by Fez Inkwright. Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about kidnapping, child endangerment/death, hanging, burning, animal death, sexual harassment, and mind control.    Sponsors - Skillshare is an online learning community where you can learn—and teach—just about anything.
