In this extremely belated Halloween episode following another unanticipated long hiatus, the randomizer goes all the way back to 2021 to pick the Halloween episode of one of the biggest zeitgeist-capturing megahit series in the illustrious five-year history of Disney+. The first-ever television show produced by Marvel Studios was also a twisted love letter to the history of television itself, filtered through an uncommon love story between an Eastern European witch and an undead British-accented android, in a thoroughly postmodern setting that literalized how escapist entertainment can paradoxically become a mental prison, all wrapped up in a package so weird and yet so accessible that it could only have been made by (and likely would only have been embraced by the masses IF made by) Marvel. Also this episode has a claymation scene where a talking shark sells yogurt products, because why wouldn't it?

No more mutants! This week, Emily and V look at an event that had seismic effects both in-universe in its franchise and out-universe, in the real world: Marvel Comics' M-Day. The events depicted in the House of M event would go on to drive much of the forward motion of X-Men for the next 15 years and spawned whole swaths of the Marvel universe (including Agatha All Along!). And of course, any swing that wild is going to spark... a lot of Reddit posts. Thank you to listener @raineday for the request! Do you X-Men? What do you think of Wanda Maximoff?

En este episodio, Adri y Sam analizan cómo el duelo y la pérdida pueden llevarnos a crear escapes emocionales, tomando como ejemplo a Wanda Maximoff en WandaVision. Al perder a todos los seres queridos que le daban sentido a su vida, Wanda utiliza sus poderes para crear un refugio donde Visión y los sueños de una vida juntos permanecen intactos, luchando así contra el vacío de la pérdida. Reflexionamos sobre cómo, en un intento por conservar lo que amamos, muchas veces construimos muros o fantasías que, aunque parecen protegernos, nos aíslan más. Este episodio invita a cuestionar cuánto sacrificamos para no soltar y si el duelo puede transformar el amor y el dolor en una misma experiencia. ¿Es aferrarse una forma de sanación o una trampa emocional? ¡Descúbrelo aquí!

Rissa Miller is a fearless advocate for the term 'witch' and the longstanding stigma and fear around the word. We get into what qualifies a woman as a witch, and even though perceptions of a witch have evolved from the days when the Church condemned women for communing with devils to present-day pop culture where witches like Melisandre from "Game of Thrones, Wanda Maximoff as Marvel's Scarlet Witch, and Netflix Teenage Witch Sabrina are beautiful and powerful women. While some people still hold onto outdated beliefs, Rissa believes society is catching up and evolving its understanding of what it means when women are okay with being called witches.
In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas break down the mind-bending seventh episode of Agatha All Along. The hosts dive deep into the complex timelines, shifting dynamics, and character arcs that make this one of the most thrilling episodes yet.

This podcast delves into Sam Raimi's return to Superhero Cinema: Marvel's ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'. Combining the classic horror elements of Raimi's 1981 cult favourite ‘The Evil Dead' with his more modern Spiderman trilogy offering, this Marvel film follows Doctor Strange in his second solo movie as Strange tries to prevent the multiverse-shattering dark magic created by the vengeful Wanda Maximoff. We discuss the disjunctions present within the film produced by the Marvel/Raimi divide - how much of the film can be viewed as an auteur product separate from the Marvel franchise?
#agathaallalong Anthony, Hanako, Michael, and Michele discuss the first 5 episodes of the new Disney+ series Agatha All Along. Three years after the events in Westview, Agatha Harkness breaks free from Wanda Maximoff's spell to find that she has been living a fake life as a decorated Detective, lost her powers, and is being hunted by the Salem Seven. When a mysterious teen breaks into her house and convinces her to take him to The Witches Road, she forms a reluctant coven of other powerless witches to make the journey in the hopes that they all will have their powers restored. But The Witches Road is a dangerous place, and when traveling with frenemies, problems are bound to appear. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fandomhybridpodcast/support

In this thrilling episode directed by Rachel Goldberg and written by Laura Monti, we delve into Agatha Harkness's tumultuous past as she faces the return of the Salem Seven—witches she once killed. These formidable spirits, capable of transforming into animals, come back to haunt her, drawing a connection to Agatha's dark history in Salem during the 1600s.As the coven grapples with their predicament, a humorous yet poignant commentary arises about the traditional use of brooms, highlighted by Lilia's critique of their symbolism in modern culture. The witches take flight in a visually stunning homage to classic films like E.T., despite a modest budget.Inside a horror-themed cabin, the tension escalates with a Ouija board that sets strict rules for communication with spirits. As the clock ticks, Agatha encounters the wrath of her mother, Evanora Harkness, who possesses her, revealing a deep-rooted animosity. This confrontation leads to Alice, a protective witch, attempting to help Agatha, but ultimately, the powers shift dangerously in Agatha's favor.The episode escalates as the teen confronts Agatha, exposing her manipulative tendencies and the deadly pursuit of power. In a shocking twist, the teen, revealed to be connected to Wanda Maximoff, uses newfound powers against Agatha, resulting in a dramatic confrontation.The episode concludes with Billie Eilish's "You Should See Me In A Crown," leaving viewers eager for more revelations in this intricate tale of witchcraft and legacy.Bonus Info: William Maximoff, known as Billy Kaplan, emerges as a significant character. He's a Wiccan superhero from the Young Avengers, the reincarnate of Wanda and Vision's son, with a twin brother, Tommy, also known as Speed. This adds a compelling layer to the narrative as the connections between family and power unfold.

One or two-word Ofsted inspection grades for England's schools are being scrapped immediately. Early next year, school improvement teams will be set up in every area, and the Government says it will continue to intervene in struggling schools. By September 2025, parents will be able to view a new "report card" describing what inspectors have found at a school. BBC Correspondent Ellie Price joins Nuala McGovern to discuss the changes, as does Sir Michael Wilshaw, former Chief Inspector of Education, Children's Services and Skills, and Emma, a parent campaigner from Sheffield.A new film about to hit our cinema screens looks at three estranged sisters, in very different stages of life who move back in together during their dying father's final days. His Three Daughters stars Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne and it covers several themes that might really resonate with many women. It hits selected UK cinemas on Friday 6 September and Netflix on 20 September. Emmy-nominated Carrie Coon, known for her work in The Gilded Age and the new Ghostbusters reboot, and Elizabeth Olsen, Emmy-nominated Marvel Universe Star who played Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlett Witch as well as real-life figure, Candy Montgomery in the miniseries Love & Death, both join Nuala live in the studio to discuss it.As schools go back across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, children aren't the only ones who might feel the pressure of making friends at school. Alliances and friendships between parents at the school gates will also be forged, broken, renewed or even ignored. So if you're a mum dropping off or picking up the kids today, how do you feel about hanging out with other mum friends? Do you struggle to make those relationships? Or do you thrive on them? And does having mum friends impact how your own children make friends and socialise? The writers Rhiannon Picton-James and Jayne Cherrington-Cook join Nuala to discuss.

Rissa Miller is a fearless advocate for the term 'witch,' and she has faced her fair share of prejudice. Recognizing the longstanding stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding witches, Rissa delves into how the label has been reckless, insensitive, and deadly to women. She questions what qualifies a woman as a witch, and whether engaging in divination work, practicing reiki, or even collecting crystals classifies someone as a witch. Rissa notes that the perception of a witch has undoubtedly evolved, from the days when the Catholic Church condemned wild women for communing with the devil to present-day pop-culture perceptions where witches are beautiful and powerful women like Melisandre from "Game of Thrones, Wanda Maximoff as Marvel's Scarlet Witch, and Netflix teenage witch, Sabrina. While some still hold onto outdated beliefs, Rissa believes society must catch up with the evolving understanding of what it means when women are okay with being called witches.
Marvel's Wanda Maximoff, AKA Scarlet Witch, historically represents many intersections - Romani, Jewish and a witch. Friend of the show Joey Patt joins us to examine these intersections, the history of them, and how they're being handled (or not) right now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
