Podcasts about hocus pocus

Our old buddy John "Hambone" McGuire is here to talk about one of his favorite movies. John makes role-playing games. You can find his current Kickstarter campaign HERE.

It's a raw-dog episode, and somehow the night ends with a serious discussion about whether a new pillow is also a sex pillow. Before that, Jason's internet company tries to book a technician weeks out before attempting the fix that actually works, Kevin learns that taking a teenager to Halloween Horror Nights mostly means riding The Mummy, and a tire track through the lawn becomes an ongoing marital crisis. Then somebody introduces a flaming drink contraption that looks like Mousetrap for alcoholics, a suspiciously handsome woodchopper takes over the conversation, Hocus Pocus gets its annual beating, and a top-100 TV list threatens to consume the rest of the night.

"It's just a bunch of hocus pocus." For Episode 421, Thomas and Brandon kick off Halloween season and CineNation's Witch series with a millennial classic: HOCUS POCUS.

This week we watched the 1993 Disney comedy horror film Hocus Pocus.

It stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy and Omri Katz. Come join us!!

Whether you want family-friendly Halloween movies, spooky comedies, supernatural adventures or something a little more intense without diving completely into hardcore horror, I've put together 20 movies to help get you into the Halloween and fall spirit.I'm starting with the most kid-friendly choices and gradually working toward movies that are more serious, violent or scary while still being FUN. We'll go from Casper, Hocus Pocus and Scooby-Doo through Coraline, Ghostbusters, The Addams Family and Jumanji. From there, things get progressively more grown-up with movies like Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland, Sleepy Hollow, Tremors, Psycho, Ready or Not, Deep Blue Sea, Planet Terror and The Shallows.So whether you're looking for something cozy and nostalgic or want to gradually work your way toward something with a little more bite, consider this your Halloween movie warm-up.

Join me and author Ann Aguirre to talk about her latest book, The Hocus Pocus Handbook. The book follows Thea, a human member of the Winter Court. After being replaced with a changeling as a baby, Thea has grown accustomed to the ways of faerie - their customs and rules, and the ways she can bend the rules for her own acts of “good trouble.” But when she takes things a little too far, she's forced on a quest with the broodiest knight in the court. With the threat of being exiled back into the human world looming over her head, Thea must find her missing betrothed and try not to fall in love with someone else in the process.Aguirre and I had chatted about how she tied in heavier themes of classism, privilege, and The Other to her cozy fantasy. Afterall, who decides what's cozy? We explored this theme of The Other through Thea, the main character, but also through Kerboros, the brooding enforcer for the Winter Court who's trapped in servitude as punishment for his father's crimes. The more they work together to find her betrothed, the more they start to understand each other, which threatens the very thin ice they've found themselves on.Buy The Hocus Pocus Handbook now: https://bookshop.org/a/54661/9781464224119Learn more about Ann Aguirre here: https://www.annaguirre.com/Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a review!If you have an author, book, or topic you want to hear about on the podcast, then don't hesitate to slide into my DMs on Instagram or shoot me an email!Subscribe to my newsletter to keep up to date on the latest podcast happenings: https://in-bed-with-books.kit.com/76d11f1d51Where else to find me:IG: @inbedwithbookspodYT: https://www.youtube.com/@InBedWithBooksPodEM: inbedwithbookspodcast@gmail.com

di Chiara Tagliaferri e Alessandro Giammei Questo episodio di Morgana torna alle origini del mito delle streghe per raccontare come, da figure perseguitate e temute, siano diventate simboli di libertà, potere e sorellanza. Dalle Weird Sisters del Macbeth ai processi di Salem, fino alle sorelle Sanderson di Hocus Pocus e alle Halliwell di Streghe, il trio diventa una forma di resistenza: un'alleanza capace di sopravvivere al tempo, al lutto per le altre e persino alla propria morte. E proprio attraverso le sorelle streghe di Streghe, da Prue a Paige, fino a Shannen Doherty e Rose McGowan, scopriamo che il vero potere non sta nel non cadere mai, ma nel trovare altre sorelle con cui rialzarsi. Perché nessuna strega si salva da sola. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Re-uploaded the file to fix some audio issues (we hope.) Thank you kindly!  Welcome to the Red State Update podcast for September 14, 2026. This week, Jackie and Dunlap yell about: At the weird RNC Trumptime convention, Trump says he wants to bribe you with $5000 of socialism money to keep Republicans in power in the midterms. Nobody ain't getting that money. Remember all the other money we're supposed to get? Jackie does. Big businesses got tariff refunds, Todd Blanche is making sure the January 6thers get their billion dollar payout, but healthcare, SNAP, food for hungry kids – no money for none of that. Republicans are tired of being called racists but not tired of being racists. Canada is friends with the EU now, and blocked America and deleted all their pics together. Would you pay $35,000 for a picture with JD Vance? Kansas GOP Senator and former OB-GYN Roger Marshall sued 700 people for debts and arrested folks for bills as low as a hundred bucks. Also why do so many Republican politicians live in Florida and not the states they represent?  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdL8dMtFQfh/?stkn=ZW54d3RwaWJheWFn Nebraska using computer algorithms to kick disabled people off Medicaid. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdL8dMtFQfh/?stkn=ZW54d3RwaWJheWFn Trump's own inspector general said Aligator Alcatraz's  facility's "calming cages" were inhumane. https://newrepublic.com/post/215398/ice-locked-people-cages-size-phone-booths-alligator-alcatraz Mark Wayne Mullin don't care if they have a criminal history or not. Is he talking about the immigrants he wants to lock up or the ICE agents he wants to hire? Tune in to find out!  Is AI gonna destroy the world, save the world, destroy the world and then save it, destroy the world and then Chinese AI will destroy it again, or just sorta help out with emails and spreadsheets? AI companies want to pump the brakes (WHAT'S IN THIS FOR THEM!), Trump says only a smart president can save us, and a bunch of freaky-lookin billionaires are tryin to force all of us to get on board with whatever bull hockey they're sellin. Data centers are destroying farms, small communities, Black communities. People are mad. I guess they're forgetting our smart president who will save us all. Or destroy us all. One or the other.  The Big Beautiful Bill to yank $1 trillion from Medicare. Republicans are gonna suffer too, and it's hitting soon. It's gonna be a rough winter.  Sex-offender pastor leads a prayer at a North Carolina GOP rally for Senate candidate Michael Whatley, where Dr. Oz also spoke.   James Tallarico, Ken Paxton, Ted Cruz Mitch McConnell is back!

The crew kicks things off talking about Hollywood's obsession with bringing everything back. Spaceballs 2, The Matrix 5, Men in Black, Hocus Pocus 3, The Goonies sequel, Gremlins 3, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Constantine, Ocean's 14, Top Gun 3, Fast & Furious 11—apparently no franchise is ever truly finished. That naturally leads to a hilarious examination of the original Top Gun, its dialogue, and just how different the movie feels when you start paying attention to what everybody is actually saying. Then things wander through the Labor Day heat, keeping plants alive, local bookstores, music, parody songs, copyright problems, YouTube and TikTok, before eventually landing on one of the biggest upcoming releases in gaming: Grand Theft Auto VI. How realistic is GTA 6 going to get? The guys break down AI-powered NPCs, characters remembering your actions, reputation systems, working out, eating, gaining weight, realistic interactions, and whether video games are getting dangerously close to becoming The Matrix. That turns into memories of GTA V, GTA San Andreas, Red Dead Redemption, cheat codes, gang wars, rampages, hunting, and why sometimes you just want a video game to let you cause chaos without worrying about your character's diet. The crew even predicts GTA 6 could become such a massive release that downloads overload the internet, productivity disappears, nobody gets any work done, and civilization temporarily grinds to a halt. If it happens, remember: Episode 1060 called it. Of course, there's also politics, the Patriot Act, Citizens United, education, Edward Snowden, Mason's completely legitimate 2028 presidential campaign, and the usual collection of wildly inappropriate observations that could only come from this rickety ship. The Mason and Friends Show is uncensored comedy and conversation with friends finding the funny side of life—no script, no filter, and absolutely no guarantee the conversation ends anywhere near where it started.

Practical Magic 2 is almost here, Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock have reunited on the red carpet... and it's officially witchy season. Naturally, we're counting down the witchy movies that shaped us, from midnight-margarita comfort watches to the genuinely cursed.There's one 1990 classic that traumatised Laura so badly she turned down an Anne Hathaway interview rather than go near it, and she's begging you not to let your kids watch it. We're also spiralling over the '90s cult favourite that turned an entire generation of tweens into candle-lighting, spell-casting witches… and had real witchcraft on set, storms and all.Grab your candles (carefully), pour a margarita, and settle in. Just remember: nothing in the witchy world is ever free.TAKE THE SPILL'S WEEKLY POP CULTURE QUIZ HERE Become a Mamamia subscriber and get an all-access pass to everything we make, including exclusive podcasts and early listening, subscriber-only articles, monthly giveaways and our home workout app, MOVE.

What makes the perfect gateway horror movie? Is it a family-friendly introduction to the genre, the movie that personally traumatized you as a kid, or simply something so fun that it leaves you craving another scare? Griffey, Sam, Heath and Sophia draft the movies they believe create lifelong horror fans. The picks range from The Lost Boys, The Monster Squad and Hocus Pocus to Pinocchio, Beetlejuice and Poltergeist. Along the way, they debate whether Disney movies count as horror, revisit the VHS covers and childhood nightmares that warped their young minds, and discover that Sam may only understand gateway horror as "hot teenagers fighting vampires." Who built the best list? Vote for the winner in the comments and tell us which movie first opened the gateway to horror for you.

The 1990s gave us meta-slashers, satanic spaceships, exploding hookers, body-swapping action heroes, teenage witches and enough Nicolas Cage insanity to sustain an entire decade. Griffey, Heath, Sam, Sophia and Nick battle to assemble the ultimate team of messed up movies from the '90s. Scream, Event Horizon, Frankenhooker, The Silence of the Lambs, Fight Club, The Craft, Candyman, Face/Off, 12 Monkeys and Hocus Pocus are only the beginning.

He's the man behind Descendants, High School Musical, Hocus Pocus, and Newsies, but Kenny Ortega's journey to becoming a Disney Legend started long before Mickey Mouse called. This is the story of the creative force Disney keeps turning to when they need to remind audiences why they fell in love with Disney magic. From starting out as a dancer in touring productions of Hair to choreographing music videos for Madonna and Elton John, stadium tours for Michael Jackson, and the iconic "Twist and Shout" sequence in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Kenny Ortega was shaping pop culture for a decade before Disney ever picked up the phone. When they finally did in 1988, it kicked off a 30-year partnership that would define childhoods for millions. What makes Ortega different is that he was never just a company man. He brought rock tours, Olympic ceremonies, and fountain choreography from the Vegas strip into everything he made for Disney.

*recorded May 30th, 2026We are back from the dead yet again with a new episode, Critters! Grab your luggage and take the scenic route with us to the 1999 period classic, Sleepy Hollow. Between how the film started out as a garish slasher to the influential, character-driven spooky favorite it is, to a bunch of mispronunciations of "Ichabod" and how our first encounters with the film made this a Halloween perennial, there's much to discuss.

Matt and Eric chat about THE BEAR's surprise prequel episode, the new PLANET OF THE APES movie, Matthew Lillard joining SUPERMAN: MAN OF TOMORROW, THE BATMAN 2, and more...

The internet fired the first shot this week when a viral post claimed it's “unattractive” for grown men to play video games. Naturally, The Rizzuto Show treated this like a matter of national importance. Is gaming just another hobby like golf, fishing, or watching football all Sunday… or is there genuinely something suspicious about a fully grown adult with six monitors and a glowing gaming throne screaming into a headset at 2AM?The gang breaks down the entire debate, including whether hobbies should define attractiveness, why fish pictures on dating profiles are apparently controversial now, and whether GTA VI is about to destroy productivity across America. Rizz admits he's probably diving back into gaming when the new Grand Theft Auto drops, while Rafe unpacks childhood trauma from being forced to watch his dad dominate Sega Genesis speed runs. Honestly, therapy probably would've been cheaper.Then things take a hard left turn into celebrity chaos during Crap on Celebrities. Ted Turner's death sparks a conversation about one of the wildest résumés in media history — from founding CNN and TBS to owning wrestling companies, sports teams, bison herds, and apparently preparing an actual apocalypse broadcast tape for the end of the world. Because nothing says “media visionary” quite like having a backup hymn ready for nuclear annihilation.Elsewhere in this comedy podcast, Robert Downey Jr. takes shots at influencer culture, Matthew Lillard continues his unbelievable redemption arc after Quentin Tarantino accidentally rebooted his career by insulting him, and Hayden Panettiere's memoir rollout gets the full skeptical Rizz Show treatment. Plus: Moon reviews the new Lord of the Flies adaptation, the guys debate whether Sting is secretly becoming a billionaire cartoon villain by refusing to leave his kids inheritance money, and Zach Bryan somehow trends after yelling a sketch-comedy quote at a fan.There's also talk about Superman sequels, Hocus Pocus 3, The Bear ending after season five, weird Mother's Day songs, Mr. Beast's unsettling eye situation, and one of the most chaotic porno birthday segments in recent memory. So basically: a totally normal episode of your favorite daily podcast.If you love a daily podcast packed with sarcastic humor, weird news, entertainment gossip, celebrity fails, and the kind of conversations that make you question how this show stays on the air, you're in the right place.
