Episode 81: Hocus Pocus/Hocus Pocus 2

Episode 81 of The HD Movie Podcast is here!  If you're looking for movies of any year, any genre and any quality, Hayley Alice Roberts and Darren Gaskell are here to discuss them!

It's almost Halloween, kids, and that means it's time to head back to the world of witches after a week away in the land of the Mandela Effect. And as you've all been good (bad?), we have a treat rather than a trick for you - it's a double bill of 1993's HOCUS POCUS and its long awaited sequel, 2022's HOCUS POCUS 2!

Hayley and Darren talk about the original's lukewarm performance at the box office (and subsequent second life on home media) and the perils of waiting 29 years to deliver a sequel. What works? What doesn't? And what might work once but not work twice? Also, one of your hosts finds themselves bewitched by a certain performer...
