Thank you for listening, reaching out, and for your kindness! I love ya! @painfullyselfawarepodcast @mollylee31
We rounded out Spooky szn with a double header of "The Witches". I have to say.... I was underwhelmed even though I liked both? How does that make sense? It just wasn't the way to end our month of Halloween fun.. and that one is on me. Also, Anne Hathaway's accent in the remake will haunt me for years to come.
My sister Lexie (the queen of spooky szn) joins me to talk about my FAVORITE Halloween movie... HOCUS POCUS! Plz keep your slander to YOURSELF. She is perfect and we love her. Community Ranking: 8.5/10 My Ranking: 8.9/10 Lexie's Ranking: 9.2/10 Movie Next Week: The Witches double header! 1990 & 2020 remake! @painfullyselfawarepodcast @mollylee31 @sexxiieelexxiiee
The Haunted Mansion is a 2003 CLASSIC (that they're choosing to re-do soon for some odd reason...) Eddie Murphy is just as delightful and funny in this film as when I was younger. Community Ranking: 7.2/10 My Ranking: 7.1/10 Movie Next Week: HOCUS POCUS!!!

Pray, Church! @painfullyselfawarepodcast @mollylee31
