A pop culture podcast about ladies who use magic. Hosted by Regina Flath and Derrick Sanskrit.

    23 — Jane Doe and Jem

    23 — Jane Doe and Jem

    Darkness and light! Let’s discuss the magical ladies of the 2016 psychological horror film “The Autopsy of Jane Doe” and the 1985 cartoon (and 2015 comic book) “Jem and the Holograms.” Also: we recorded this in July 2019 so some of it feels quaint and dated in retrospect, the importance of not interrupting rituals, collective unconscious fear, magic magnets, deep fakes, and so much more!

    Audio samples:

    Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans — “Lights Out”
    “Clue”
    Jem and the Holograms — “Truly Outrageous”
    “G.I. Joe”

    20 — Elaine Parks and Gillian Holroyd

    It’s just like the 1960’s, only not at all! Join us as we discuss the love spells gone awry from the 2016 film “The Love Witch” and the 1958 film “Bell, Book, and Candle.” Also: the police don’t know what a tampon is, Mystery Science Theater 3000, elevated murder porn, “cast that love spell on yourself,” magical Chekhov’s Gun (pew! pew!), shoe-burning feminism, best supporting cat, the two of us basically beg to be fired for talking smack about our industry, and so much more!

    Audio samples:
    “Fairy Lady Harp Music” from The Love Witch
    “Pyewacket Returns” and “Zodiac Blues” from Bell, Book, and Candle
    RuPaul’s Drag Race

    Break out the slap bracelets and dial-in to the party line because we’re talking about ladies from the 80’s. Let’s dig into the MTV maven Emily Aster from the comic book “Phonogram” and the gallant goth Lydia Deetz from the film “Beetlejuice.” Also: pipe wrench fights, making a career out of your senior illustration thesis, fast-forwarding through open knee surgery, guest list etiquette, and so much more!

    18 — Magical Girls: Usagi (Sailor Moon) and Amethyst (Princess of Gemworld)

    Get ready for rainbows, ribbons, and transformations as we talk about one of our favorite subgenres of witchery: Magical Girls! Compare the catch-all magical combat abilities and indistinct gem-related powers of Usagi from “Sailor Moon” and Amethyst, DC Comics’ Princess of Gemworld. Also: 90’s kids will understand, America can’t have nice things, too few positive female friendships in media, Masters of the Universe, fighting about Infinity War (no spoilers), the U.S. women’s soccer team is amazing, it’s easy to forget DC continuity, transformation dance offs, and so much more!

    Audio samples:
    “Sailor Moon” theme
    Xena: Warrior Princess’s battle cry
    Vanilla Ice – “Ice, Ice Baby”
