We’re STILL the weirdos Mister!
The comfort of the 90’s witchy aesthetic is one of the Wonders of the World, and we MUST protect it at all costs. We give thanks to grunge all black outfits, dark brown lipstick, knee high socks, and combat boots. Blessed Be! On this episode, The Babes cover the beloved 1996 horror drama, and cult classic - The Craft. This film calls the corners of the occult, the power of sisterhood, prejudice, and that it’s cool to be a weirdo. This was a fun one, and this movie has bewitched us with a glamor spell - consensually, of course. Light your candles, sit in a circle with your coven and invoke the spirit of The Craft.
