Hello Witchy Shift listeners,
Today we are bringing you the final episode of Season 2, but we are also bringing you some bittersweet news. With Season 2 coming to a close, The Witchy Shift will be taking an indefinite hiatus. We want to extend our sincere gratitude to all of you who have been tuning in. We’ve had so much fun bringing you a variety of witchy topics and hope you’ve enjoyed The Witchy Shift as much as we have.
With that being said, the topic of today’s episode is: Our Favorite Witchy Films! The archetype of the witch is an extremely compelling figure who has been depicted as the evil hag, the sexy seductress, and everything in between. Join us as we talk in-depth about some of our personal favorite films depicting witches.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
