EP 253 - Hocus Pocus (1993) / Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) Reviews

The claws come out this week as TWO decrepit dragons run rampant!  First we test the burning waters with the new Netflix fable Damsel, before getting singed by Vermithrax in Dragonslayer!  Be honest, are our eyebrows still there? #damsel #netflix #dragonslayer #milliebobbybrown #petermacnicol #disney #jordanalmonds

Is Madame Web the ‘train wreck’ that all the pundits say it is?  We are on the case, and we are bringing Kingdom of the Spiders with us, cause nothing says train wreck like the Shat!  #madameweb #kingdomofthespiders #spiderman #marvel #dakotajohnson #williamshatner #sydneysweeney

Nothing is what it seems with the identity crises and animal action of Argylle and The Dark Half!  Sylvester and Tweety’s two favorite films, respectively.  #argylle #darkhalf #stephenking #henrycavill #brycedallashoward #samrockwell #georgeromero

Every new year we enter into these days seems to have once been a cinematic future world, and 2024 is no exception! Cases in point – A Boy and His Dog and Highlander 2: The Quickening - oof.  Now, a buddy comedy with Ramirez and Blood the dog – that’s what we want to see! #boyandhisdog #highlander2 #highlander #lqjones #christopherlambert #seanconnery

Come on down to the lab and see what’s on the slab – as we reveal Poor Things and The Bride!  Synchronicity, indeed … #poorthings #sting #bride #clancybrown #davidrappaport #emmastone #jenniferbeals #markruffalo #willemdafoe #brideoffrankenstein #yorgoslanthimos

Is the TV screen big enough to house the mighty Godzilla? Monarch: Legacy of Monsters attempts to contain him, so we inspect their facilities in this special mini-episode!!! #godzilla #gojira #kurtrussell #wyattrussell #monarch #legacyofmonsters #apple+ #legendary #monsterverse #hollowearth #toho

This week, with Rebel Moon and Battle Beyond the Stars, we have 2 new Star Wars movies!  Rebels, check. Empires, check. Magical powers, check. But wait, gratuitous slo-mo action shots and John Saxon?!?  Snyder and Corman, you’ve foiled us again! #rebelmoon #battlebeyondthestars #zacksnyder #rogercorman

Take a rewind with us to celebrate our first Christmas together – as we go over our top 3 picks for favorite holiday special! #grinch #starwarsholidayspecial #bowieandbing #charliebrownchristmas #frostythesnowman #emmetotter #lifeday #rudolph #santaclausiscomintotown #heatmiser #coldmiser #rankinbass

All aboard! As if taking a ride on The Polar Express isn’t creepy enough, with the dead eyed children and all, we then disembark in Krampus town!  Sorry Krampy – the North Pole elves are still scarier than yours. #polarexpress #tomhanks #krampus #tonicollette #chrisvanallsburg #ribboncandy

We hope you have your evacuation plan ready, because Godzilla Minus One has landed hard, and we are boots on the ground!  Comparatively, Shin Kamen Rider is about as big as a, um, grasshopper. #godzillaminusone #godzilla #gojira #kamenrider #shinkamenrider #shinmaskedrider
