About this episode

The episode reviews the 1995 film Escape to Witch Mountain, highlighting its incomprehensibility and dullness while providing a comedic recap.

You know you're in for a good time when a movie features a 'witch mountain', right? Well, not if you've seen 1995's Escape to Witch Mountain. Then you'll know how it's perfectly possible for a film featuring a witch mountain to also be utterly incomprehensible and intensely dull! Never mind, at least this baffling remake of the 1975 family film - which tells the story of psychic alien twins reuniting after years spent apart - also features a hilariously stupid villainous scheme, and makes for an extremely giddy recap. It also boasts Erik von Detten and Sam Horrigan, who would go on to play Brink and Val in the legendary 1998 skating DCOM!
