ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON HALLOWEEN!!! We are kicking off October with one of Saysha's favorite unhinged childhood classics-The Worst Witch from 1986! We have a TON of fun discussing cozy witch academia, inappropriate age-gap crushes, green screen shenanigans, and how J.K Rowling is the biggest loser hack of all time! Enjoy!!! Correction: Bella Ramsey's pronouns are they/them :) Link to ful...

Greetings, Fellow Witches! We are *really* getting into some spooky season favorites now and breaking down the childhood trauma classic, The Witches! Melanie has neither read the book nor seen the movie, so we get a whole fresh take on the scary witch prosthetics and the adorable mouse puppetry. We also discuss at length how a long holiday by the sea could fix us both!  The actual Witches hotel: h...

WOW y'all, this one might be one of our best episodes yet! We discuss an all-time favorite and extremely cursed 1980s children's fantasy film-The Neverending Story! We delve deep into Melanie's fear and hatred of puppetry, the stoicism of German culture, the inherent queerness of fae creatures, and gender roles in the 1980s. This one is one of Saysha's all-time favorites, so th...

We recap the WHOLE film, discuss 90’s fashion AT LENGTH, get into the scam of the wedding industrial complex, and dissect working class culture while ALSO planting the seeds of a green card marriage for Melanie ( all potential suitors please email us at vhssisterspodcast@gmail.com!) Please leav...

In this week's podcast, we talk about that weirdly beloved whimsigoth classic from 1998...Practical Magic! We talk a *little* more about the actual film, but mostly discuss 90's home decor, numerous unrelated TV shows, and the commodification of witchcraft in general. We will probably get a LOT of hate for this one but we DO NOT CARE. Link to the "Soup Mode" hat that Melanie re...

Saysha and Melanie DIVE into the 1975 Steven Spielberg classic Jaws, which somehow Melanie has NEVER seen despite being a massive fan of bodies of water and marine life in general! They barely discuss the details of the movie at all, but do discuss the food, fashion, and mourn over the abandoned romantic subplot at length! *Melanie's mic quality is a tad shabby on this ep, but tune in to Ep 2...
