*Queues up The Ballad of The Witches’ Road on repeat* 🧙‍♀️🔮

News and Notes (4:45)

This week, we discuss Keanu Reeves doing "extensive research" on Shadow for Sonic 3 to create a "faithful version" of the character, the live-action Gundam movie set to be directed by Sweet Tooth showrunner Jim Mickle, and we got a new trailer for Star Wars: Skelton Crew.

Main Topic (23:09)

For our main topic, we review the 11th Marvel Studios Disney+ series: Agatha All Along! When a new series of tragedies strike the city of Westview, the infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power when a suspicious goth teen helps break her free from a distorted spell. Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches' Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they're missing. Together, Agatha and this mysterious teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road.

Hello Pickle! For our 2024 Halloween Special, we are discussing the first entry in The Cornetto Trilogy: Shaun of the Dead! Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Shaun of the Dead is a rom-zom-com that centers around the uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his lumpy roommate. Nothing seems to be going right when it is all disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.
