  • It’s the End of the World and We Feel Fine

    It’s the End of the World and We Feel Fine
    Nov 27 2025
    In Charmed’s “Apocalypse, Not,” (Season 2, Episode 21) Prue is pulled into a vortex with a Horseman of the Apocalypse, leaving Phoebe and Piper to choose between saving their sister or stopping the end of the world. We break down the real origins and symbolism of the Four Horsemen, how Charmed reimagines them, and how these apocalyptic figures have shaped everything from medieval history to modern pop culture. Along the way, we explore the show’s Eleven Planes of Existence and why humanity can’t stop retelling stories about the end of days.Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of religious themes, war, famine, disease, death, cannibalism, and historical antisemitism.Learn More:AmazingGraceLyrics.

  • Curiosity Killed the Researcher (and Ethics, Too)

    Curiosity Killed the Researcher (and Ethics, Too)
    Nov 13 2025
    This episode covers episodes 19 and 20 of the series Charmed. In “Ex Libris,” the sisters face the uneasy line between human wrongdoing and supernatural evil when a murdered student’s spirit seeks justice. Then in “Astral Monkey,” a doctor’s experiment with the Halliwells’ blood goes wildly wrong, sparking questions about science, consent, and the cost of curiosity. Without further ado, let’s dig into grimoires, demonology, and real-world stories of medical research and the violation of human rights. Note: The Annabelle Doll is noted as being located in the Warren Occult Museum. While the Warren Occult Museum is still in operation, it has since changed guardianship and as of late 2025 it and Annabelle are on tour in the U.S.Trigger Warning: Discussions of murder and beheadings; human experimentation; racial injustice and unethical medical research (e.g., Tuskegee Study, Henrietta Lacks); and violation of consent and bodily autonomy.

  • You’re Sew Vain (You Probably Think This Spell’s About You)

    You’re Sew Vain (You Probably Think This Spell’s About You)
    Oct 30 2025

    A demon who steals skin, a deal for eternal beauty, and a sisterly crisis of vanity — it’s all in a day’s work for the Charmed Ones. Join us as we peel back (pun intended) the demon of vanity, the sin behind it, and what it really means to grow older magically.

    Trigger Warning: This episode contains content like violence, murder, human skin/flaying, sensitive commentary on prostitution and vulnerable individuals, references to mental health disorders and addiction, and religious symbolism and gendered punishment.

  • Thank Our Lucky Signs

    Thank Our Lucky Signs
    Oct 16 2025

    Get ready for an episode filled with dark omens, cosmic warnings, and a little bit of Charmed chaos. This week, we’ll talk about season 2, episodes 15 and 16. In these episodes we see Prue being kidnapped by Bane Jessup, the Halliwells’ first mention of “The Source,” and the many signs Phoebe misreads along the way — before diving into a whirlwind of history and folklore on omens, from ancient Mesopotamia to Scottish death harbingers. Plus, in honor of Murphy’s Luck and St. Patrick’s Day, we’ll explore the tricky nature of luck itself and why sometimes it feels like everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

    Trigger Warning: The episode covered includes the topic of unaliving oneself. If you or someone you know is struggling, please consider seeking help via national and international hotlines:

  • Reincarnation, See? A Jazz-Age Past-Life Mystery

    Reincarnation, See? A Jazz-Age Past-Life Mystery
    Oct 2 2025

    In Charmed S2E14 “Pardon My Past,” Phoebe’s 1920s reincarnation opens the door to a deeper conversation on past lives, déjà vu, and spiritual karma. We explore reincarnation through Buddhist and Hindu lenses, past-life regression therapy, and real-world cases of children recalling previous lives—all against the backdrop of Prohibition-era San Francisco’s magic and mysticism. So pull up a chair, pour yourself some giggle water, and enjoy the listen, doll.

    Please pardon the dog barking in the background - T had a very grumbly chi-weenie who demanded attention.

    Beauties and the Beasts
    Sep 18 2025
    We’re talking Charmed season 2, episode 13, “Animal Pragmatism.” It’s Valentine’s Day for the Halliwell sisters: Piper’s torn between Dan and mortal Leo, Prue is jobless and restless, and Phoebe’s classmates turn animals into disastrous dates. We dig into the episode’s wild mix of spells gone wrong, humans-as-animals (and vice versa), Circe’s mythology, and a dash of evolutionary psychology. Note: For some reason, this session’s audio did not like us talking at the same time and would cut in and out (on Lex in particular). Additionally, there were weird moments of interference. Please pardon weird interjections or blip/burp noises.Trigger Warning: Discussion of evolutionary psychology includes a theory of male attraction to females who would be considered underage.

    Playing Hellfire
    Aug 21 2025
    Does T get to tip toe into true crime this episode?!?! Join Lex and T as they discuss Charmed, season 2, episode 9, “Ms. Hellfire.” In the episode, Prue goes undercover as a deadly assassin after surviving an attempted hit and discovering a hit list targeting her and her sisters. As she navigates the dangerous underworld, the Halliwells work to uncover who ordered the attacks while dealing with Prue’s unexpected (yet overdue) release of her wilder side. With some chat about smudging, protection spells, a little stroll in the Greek myths territory, T does in fact get to bring in a little true crime.
