Witches

Hocus Pocus released a sequel in 2022. Wicked part 1 & 2 released in 2024 & 2025. This week Practical Magic 2 opens in cinemas worldwide. Witches are having a comeback! Or perhaps they've been cackling at us this whole time?! Jason and Ashley explore why witches (or is it wytches?), seem to be everywhere as we march toward spooky season. We explore cultural context, questionable spelling, and the compelling nature of these powerful women. Scared yet? You will be because Your Geek History Lesson is now in session!
