Is it feminist? Is it queer? It's Cher, bitch! Seduced by this wayward success story of the witch film canon, we join forces with our longtime friend, writer, historian, artist and activist Morgan M Page, to mull over this oddball outlier.
Barbra Streisand's fateful wig that led to giant mechanical spiders, everyone wanting a boyfriend who looks like a lesbian, zucchini, squirty cheese and cherry pits, deleted footage of an upsetting Veronica Cartwright animatronic, penis curvature conversations, VOLUME, \"punk hun\" Kathy Acker interviewing the Spice Girls, laughing to break a fall from a high balcony, Lilith Fair, doing a bit about titles of The Witches of East End episodes, Buffy eBay regrets, goth being forever, a phallic kaiju, our calls for a revival of the stage musical, snakes on a bed, unlikely cheerleader Jack Nicholson, coming together with other girls, gays and theys to destroy a man, Cher's cowboy boots and banana clipped pigtails, yassified Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer bouncing a tennis ball with her butt await.
We share our thoughts on the movie and its themes, some behind the scenes gossip, delve into the nightmarish moments and dream up some ridiculous merch.
Who would we cast in a remake? Listen and find out!
