About this episode

The episode discusses the film THE WITCHES, exploring its relevance for modern audiences and its nostalgic value.

Jim Henson meets Roald Dahl in THE WITCHES. Let's talk about whether it holds up, whether it would work for modern kids, and why we wouldn't mind watching it again and again and again. A must-see if you love movies with dead parents, kids turning into mice, and of course... witches. TLDR: "I love this movie."—Keith Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
