    We're finally wrapping up on 'The 10th Kingdom'!

    Jane talks about the amazing book version of 'The Princess Bride' (you can acquire a copy from a local bookshop at https://bookshop.org/shop/broomflicks), the cringiest scene, the real VIPs of the series, and wonders if the best lines (usually from the troll sibs) are ad-libbed. Linda talks about her appreciation of the series portraying mental illness is a non-magical way, super wolf-man sperm, and magical abortions!

    T10thK, Ep 4: It's Not a Prediction, It's Murder

    We covered the penultimate episode of The 10th Kingdom! We're almost there!

    In this episode, we discuss the mighty stealth skills of Rutger Hauer (The Huntsman), the moral ethics of kissing lessons, inappropriate dreams, diggy diggy'ing holes, the return of the troll sibs, the worst engagement ring ever (and the MVP of the episode - a fish), and a better (though darker) alternate ending to the series. Also, we discuss the plight of actresses who do not fit society's ideal mold and the wonderful Camryn Manheim!

    Beauty & the Beast (1991): That's Too Many Eggs!

    We honor the life of the wonderful Dame Angela Lansbury by covering the original, animated version of 'Beauty and the Beast.'

    Of course, we diverge into a chat about how amazing 'The Righteous Gemstones' is before going into the original story behind the film and some interesting trivia (do you know who else auditioned for Beast?!)

    For a more in-depth discussion about Dame Angela Lansbury, listen to our first episode 'Eggland's Best' where we cover 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'...just please remember that it's our first episode and have mercy.

Always Coming Back for More!

Started out with the Maleficent episode, but have since listened to several! Linda and Jane have amazing rapport, infectious laughter, and a passion for their subject matter. Sometimes come back just to hear them laugh and one-up each other. They’re not afraid to toss shade! You should also pair this with their sibling show, “Cage’s Kiss” for tons of friendly banter. Subscriber for life!

Speaks to my spooky soul

Linda and Jane are amazing. I love witches, I love spooky stuff, and I love fantasy so this podcast is perfect for me. I love that they not only cover TV and Film but also books now! Ugh, be still my witchy heart :)

The Spooked Cat Podcast ,

Hysterical and candid

You got me at witches, the podcast name was just a cherry on top! I am halfway through the episode on Sleeping Beauty and I love it already. The part where they’re talking about Aurora and the Prince had me laughing out loud at work 🤣 I can’t wait to listen to other episodes, cannot recommend enough!!
