Summary: <p><a href="https://movies.disney.com/halloweentown" target="_blank">Halloweentown</a>: “Being Normal is Vastly Overrated.”</p><br><p>Welcome to the first episode of our Halloween series! In this <a href="https://www.insider.com/halloweentown-fun-facts-2018-10" target="_blank">Disney original</a>, we join a brand new guest, Michele, to discuss the story of a <a href="https://www.debbiereynolds.com/" target="_blank">powerful witch</a> as she guides her innocent granddaughter down the path of the mysterious and demonic.</p><br><p>In this film, <a href="https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Aggie_Cromwell" target="_blank">Aggie Cromwell</a> has a pet purse that is clearly the bastard child of Mary Poppins’ carpet bag and the Monster Book of Monsters. #Hindsighters, we always thought that our grandmas simply didn’t want us to rifle through and subsequently disorganize their purses; now we know that they were all smuggling pentagrams and fetish dolls. </p><br><p>Shockingly, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/northfoggy/" target="_blank">Jason</a> hates this movie even more than <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/clueless" target="_blank">Clueless</a>, so he distracted himself with our latest studio toy. Oh yes, listeners, we’ve given Jason the power of sound effects, and <a href="https://twitter.com/darth_jader_" target="_blank">Darth</a> regrets everything.</p><br><p>In other and utterly superfluous news, Jason will henceforth be known as <a href="https://people.com/health/mike-the-situation-sorrentino-lost-36-lbs-in-prison-with-intermittent-fasting/" target="_blank">The Occurrence</a>. He’ll be updating his social media handles accordingly and getting some trashy tattoos.</p><br><p>Despite the fluffy nature of Halloweentown, Darth and Jason took away some important lessons:</p><p><br></p><ol> <li> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqSTXuJeTks" target="_blank">Britney Spears</a> is grocery store music; she has gone the way of the hair <a href="https://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/gallery/sex-and-the-city-quotes-carrie-sam-miranda-and-charlotte" target="_blank">scrunchie</a>.</li> <li>Selling your soul to a warlock for good looks is a legit way to go if it lands you date with a witch.</li> <li>Transforming a dead chicken to a live chicken inside a refrigerator is the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnk4seEHmgw" target="_blank">ultimate prank</a>.</li> </ol><p><br></p><p>In the Lion King, Mufasa tells Simba that “When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass.” Halloweentown, however, leaves us hanging with a deeply ecumenical and existential question: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7-oHtfEjFo" target="_blank">When we die</a>, do we go to <a href="https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/news/a33917/the-town-where-halloweentown-was-filmed-transformed-itself-into-halloweentown-irl/" target="_blank">Halloweentown</a>? Because for Jason, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTENYpeBK1o" target="_blank">being eaten by antelope</a> might be a preferable option.</p><br><p>Regardless of their empirical dilemmas, Darth and Jason have to give mad props to Princess Leia’s mom. Aggie is far too powerful to be defeated by a crappy warlock who roofies people with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PcqUx2Ew_U" target="_blank">light-up Poke Balls</a>, even if she cheats on occasion to make spells with Ramen noodle magic.</p><br><p>Get excited #Hindsighters, because Darth and Jason look forward to spending their first Halloween season with you. Steel yourselves for plenty of dark humor and a surprisingly diverse selection of movies, because we’re comin’ at ya. Hindsight, OUT.</p><br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
