Boo! It's spooky season, and on Dumpsterpiece Theater we're diving into 'Hocus Pocus 2'. Join us as we conjure up laughs and critiques about this long-awaited sequel. We'll discuss enchanted Roombas, retconned witch origins, and ponder where that $100 million budget went. Scott goes on a passionate rant about the film's production choices and underlying messages, while we debate whether this sequel lives up to the original's cult classic status.
We'll explore the Sanderson sisters' backstory, dissect the new characters' lack of development, and question some puzzling plot decisions. Why do Mary and Sarah suddenly discover their powers? How did Doug Jones keep Billy Butcherson's wig for 30 years? And what's the deal with Mayor Buster's obsession with caramel apples? We'll also touch on the movie's attempts at nostalgia, from musical numbers to callbacks from the original.
Whether you're a fan of the original or new to the franchise, this episode is a spellbinding deep dive into modern Halloween entertainment. Get ready for a wickedly entertaining episode that's perfect for the season!
