Remove those grubby shoes and those synthetic wigs, Critters! There are no kids here and we're among equals to have a small conference about The Witches (1990). An enduring childhood classic, we give praise to Anjelica Huston's committed and iconic performance as the Grand High Witch, insight into why children's movies of today don't seem to really have it for their young audiences, and practical effects leaving the most out-of-this-world impressions, amongst other things. Watch for mice! So happy listening—but if you speak out of turn, you best be ready to be Formula 86ed.
