Episode 118: Hocus Pocus

Amok, amok, amok! This week, Peaches and Michael put a spell on you in celebration of 1993’s HOCUS POCUS! In addition to discussing the utter perfection of the Sanderson Sisters, our hosts delve into their firm belief that the film was rescued from obscurity thanks to the passion of queer fans. Joining the conversation is drag superstar Tina Burner, whose lifelong love of Salem’s favorite witches led her to create an annual traveling parody show. Then, drag icon Nicole Halliwell stops by to discuss her own legendary parody show, as well as reveal the tea about how her work has gone on to inform the ongoing HOCUS POCUS fandom. From black flame candles to eye-opening books, this episode has it all! Go! Happy Halloween!
