This week we head to the old West with Blazing Saddles (1974) and its head-scratching animated remake Paws of Fury (2022) and discuss white buffoonery, punching down at gay people, underestimating the intelligence of children, and history-making farts.

This week we light the black flame candle with Hocus Pocus (1993) and Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) and discuss growth through vulnerability, misogyny in witch lore, letting villains be villains, and Roombas as modes of transportation.
This week we watch the cursed tapes of Ringu (1998) and its American remake The Ring (2002) and discuss the importance of sharing stories, trying to survive in the patriarchy, gross takes about infertility, and horses getting eaten by boats.
