“This is just a collection of mediocre covers.” - Chris on the soundtrack

On this week’s episode, the gang’s under the spell of the mid-90’s witchcraft cult classic, The Craft, chatting about the flick with long-time friend of the show, Angelica Jade Bastién! Does this movie get better with each viewing? Couldn’t the script have added a little more of Cliff De Young’s character (for Eric)? How great is Snake Guy and his exit from the film? And did anyone care about that legacy sequel? PLUS: Should Charles Xavier take these girls under his wing?

The Craft stars Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Christine Taylor, Breckin Meyer, Nathaniel Marston, Cliff De Young, Assumpta Serna, and Skeet Ulrich as Chris Hooker; directed by Andrew Fleming.We hope you are enjoying Ad-Free WHM!

Oh hell yeah, always love an Angelica guest spot!

Miguel Sanchez

I’ve been waiting for this episode for 5 years🙏🏽

Jaime Lee Ezell

Haven’t listened yet but I am preemptively declaring it one of my new favorite episodes! AJB!! The Craft!! Also - Amazing covers on an amazing soundtrack!!

Jaime Lee Ezell

AJB has a great newsletter btw, I subscribed to it awhile back, highly recommend it!!

MrDirtyDan

Call me craft the way I shoot up lightning in my veins

Busiris

It wasn't until listening to the podcast tonight that I realized this is a primo September "Back to School" kind of episode. However, I think we're close enough to the middle months of the year to go ahead and consider it a nice "Back to Summer School" episode.

Ray

Wait, there's people wearing wigs in this movie? I don't believe it.

Kureigu

Great episode 👏

Charles Grodin's Toupee is Having Fargo Sex

It may be a mediocre cover, but it still pisses me off that Charmed stole Love Spit Love's take on "How Soon is Now" just two years after this was released.

Tim O'

I also indulged in a lot of that USA Network fuck-shit. Monk, Burn Notice, SVU reruns, it was all there on glorious basic cable.

Jaime Lee Ezell

Fairuza’s screaming speech she gives to Skeet Ulrich is my favorite part of this!! He’s sorry! He’s sorry!! She knocked it out of the park!

NFlux Forever

I have to admire the shamelessness of it.

Frank Grimes

I want to say Final Fight is the first game where using special moves depleted your health.

Dennis Stack

Oh man, when Steve was talking about his illegal Catholic school jeans I was hoping we'd get a reprise of the, "I will not cool my jets, MAN!" story 😂 One of my fave Steve anecdotes

Watch_N_Rewatch

"Breckin Meyer must die!" Szyszka and his hatred for BM is hilarious 😂 Great EP Boys, and AJB has an excellent energy she brings to every EP she guests on

Tala Hobballah

Yeeeees my dream blunt rotation reunited!

“ if it’s not a wedding it’s witchcraft.” -Crow T. Robot

Robert Walton

The X-Men talk in this episode is funny because that re-quel movie from 2020 totally gives the witches mutant powers. Yes, it's very bad

Jonathan Lyons

I think Angelica is probably my favorite guest. 2nd place is Mrs. Jupin. Every episode featuring either of them are ones I can repeatedly listen to. Angelica is amazing. Tell her I said so. Andrew, I know you read these lol

MarkNM

If his hatred for Breckin started after the movie 54, I completely understand.

MarkNM

Maybe 1943, but that's obv not a beat em up.

Daryl Williams

It would've been cool if Christine Taylor's character slowly turned into Chris Elliott's character in Scary Movie 2.

Matt

This, the David Lynch nightmare fish theatre story, the Spider-Man parade balloon, the Spawn-abduction, the "get nahshty on the phone" story. Steve needs to publish a memoire of these.

Kevin Matthews

I am the only person here to say that Shock Treatment really isn’t that bad. It’s another weird music cult film with a main role for Jessica Harper, who took over the role of Janet, and Arrow did a nicely lush release of it a few years ago.

RJ Cunningham

Not sure why it took me so long to realize I fucking despise Breckin Meyer

Gone

It’s not “gene” therapy, it’s “jean therapy,” they were using the same sewing machine they use to make jeans.

Lar

I agree they should have left a lot of stuff in (or filmed it in the first place?) but unfortunately I think a lot of ideas y’all had for this movie ended up being in The Covenant instead. Murders, car crashes, etc etc. Is that a good movie? Not at all. But it had some violence and Sebastian Stan kissing our lead on the mouth for some reason. Bless.

Lar

Oh man back to school would be a great themed month for them.

Ray

That pubic hair line hits too close to home 😅 my grandpa called me his nappy headed grandson (he's white). He's since evolved, thankfully.

Alexander Trattner

Stiff as a board sums up my adolescent experience with this one.

Mark D Myers

Number 2 sit in the back with tarot her power also involves stuff you would find in a junk draw.

duck of death

Cliff DeYoung also shits his pants in The Substitute when Tom Berenger choke slams him against a wall.

Brandon

This was a great ep, love the ones w Angelica. Great time.

Amber Schumacher

I don’t think I’ve ever heard an episode with her before, but she was amazing!!!

Alex

I was also a weird black girl who was shaped by this movie so I understand completely where Angelica is coming from. the pubes line hits too close to home though. I remember watching this at a sleepover and we all agreed they needed to jump her!

Catboyslim

Lots of Neo-pagan people here in Salem MA, so there’s big love for Witchcore movies. Hoping they’ll play The Craft at the local indie theater at Halloween this year. Great to hear AJB back as guest. This is a new fav of mine now, with Teen Witch and The Shining. You guys need to do the original English movie from 1972-The Wicker Man, brought to you by Hammer films

nadia

I knew there would be wig talk in this BUT CHRIST you can literally see exactly where it’s glued to her head, man😭 Hair and Makeup did NOT GAF!

Tony King

I loved Steve's Manon voice so much! It made me laugh every time!

Craig

Well, it’s not quite worthy of a mailbag but I have travelled in developing countries where, at least on one occasion, we pulled over for a bathroom break and the rural toilet actually did have maggots in it.

DMAC

Manons with the best escargot exclusively at The Gettin' Place

Jason

Get Cliff DeYoung back shitting in major movies you cowards! You're telling me he can't shit in the new thunderbolts film? Come on!

Jason

The Species episodes are classics with her and the guys.

Rose Esposito

I watched every dang episode of Graceland and Covert Affairs. Anyone else? No? Okay.

Rose Esposito

"People doin' AI, now I gotta have a maggot toilet." I mean...that made perfect sense to me. Do I have Eric Brain Disease?!
