The Hexperts

This week we dissect the stories of Circe, Medea, and the other magic-wielders of Ancient Greece that helped establish our ideas of witches today, aka Helios's very messy family. Later, Brett learns about the key elements of quintessential mid-00s teen drama Skins, namely that it's not the one with the gay redhead.

In our continuing exploration of Crowley's life, our boy finds love with a man with fantastic legs, attaches himself to the worst possible father figures, and causes a schism in a sacred spiritual order like only an ex-Evangelical can. Later, Brett describes an episode of Below Deck in a way that is absolutely legally distinct from a certain James Cameron movie.

This week, we explore the early days of the forefather of the Occult, from being the sickly son of fanatically religious train millionaires, to his young adulthood as a mountaineering misanthrope. Later, we hear from one of the most important authors of this generation, Tyra Banks.

We begin our dive into the forefather of modern magic and the 'most wicked man in the world' with a look into Thelema, a religion that says everyone is a star, literally, and that martinis are bad. Later, hi, it's Nikki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray.

This is the story of how the witches of Scotland and Denmark enchanted the weather to stop a king from marrying a fourteen-year-old, and I guess somehow they're the bad guy. Later, Brett utilizes the spirits, and his eighth grade crush, to identify nu metal bands.

Our journey into the life of one of the world's most famous modern witches continues as we discuss her travels to America, her poorly-reviewed foray into ghost hunting, her apparent discomfort with sons and math, and her very good boy with very hot feet. Later, Brett tells us what he knows about Madonna, including how to perform divination with her coffee table book, and whether her ex-husband is a resident of Flavortown.
