HOCUS POCUS 2 BREAKDOWN & EASTER EGGS!

[@MasterCrawford343]

I want to get special mention to the girls that played the younger selves of the three witches, they got the ticks of the original Three down to a tee

[@nickshares8158]

Agreed

[@itsjustjakeee]

The girls were actually styled after the witches too. All three have color palettes all throughout the movie mirroring the original trio hinting at them being the next generation of Sanderson witches. Loved it!!

[@b.b.2684]

And isn't the mayor's house really Allison's house from the first one? Looks a lot like it

[@Alma0908]

I was wondering that too? On the billboard with the mayor and his family you can see max and Dani’s house in the background.

[@gregorybeattie]

I liked the way the Roombas turned out to be a Checkov's gun, turning up to free the witches!

[@transienthorror]

We all jumped up and went NO WAY when they panned over to the Roombas across from the garage, lol. 😅

[@nailinthefashion]

This is my favourite sequel Disney has made so far. So graceful, and now they could totally come back as Good Grandmas for one last third one and I'd be super into it

[@melikeymalarky4460]

Bot.

[@PaintedMoonBlue]

I agree

[@sdjoker]

The Witch Mother's dress looks like it was inspired by Dani's costume from the first movie!

[@cjtrules1]

Yeah I like that detail. Seems like Dani was dressed as The Witch Mother for that Halloween.

[@kendal0605]

I'm very pleased with how this sequel turned out. I'm a huge Disney fan and get very picky when it comes to sequels since they can either be really good or really bad. But the sequel didn't disappoint. It was well done and I loved it 💜

[@lbrando18]

There’s no way

[@dwightfry99]

I agree. It was really good!

[@melikeymalarky4460]

Bot.

[@billivee]

I was pleasantly surprised too, I expected it to be lame partly due to being a free streaming release, It was really good

[@SMSX2]

In the book "How To Hang a Witch", it talks about how the original hanging tree was located, somewhere, behind the now Walgreens. So Walgreens is pretty significant when it comes to the witch trials.

[@reymysterio1786]

What.??

[@tjk3430]

@@reymysterio1786 this is true. I live less than 2 miles from Proctors Ledge in Salem and it is right behind a Walgreens.

[@spellbound_1]

I'm so glad somebody else caught that hahaha

[@hgmb1705]

So glad I’m not the only person who bawled like a baby at the ending 😂

[@rondaperry7243]

You weren't

[@MeanyINC]

It’s not Winifred flying in the opening of the original, it’s Sara flying over and luring Emily Binx towards the woods

[@roniisablake]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@aj.gutierrez]

I felt so bad for the mayor. He just wanted a caramel apple from his favorite vendor. Plus, I liked how clueless he was, especially when he thought the bewitched people were a flash mob.

[@cjtrules1]

Just like how Max and Dani's parents (and the rest of the town's adults) were clueless even when the Sanderson sisters showed up.

[@tattedupluv]

I CRIED TOO!!! I loved the campy fun they have! It doesn't have the spooky feel of the original but they knew they could've never matched it so they just had fun with it and I was totally down for the ride! The child inside me was grinning like a ghost 👻 and the nostalgia was brimming. The ending was so heartfelt and I literally cried! 😭

[@wyvern723]

I freaking love that witch dress! My dad took me to the original in the theaters. We did the walk on the way back to the car. loved the call back.

[@joey_cordova_]

This would have been great to see in theaters with an audience

[@SajarErbraTerof]

Correction: the bird flying is not a colorful raven but a male red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). It is a little bit confusing, but I guess no bird watcher or biologist were ask to comment on that choice. Love the movie and very happy to see the easter egg review!

[@jesorinsekwa4054]

Definitely blackbird coloration but looked a bit more raven in size and shape to me. It’s a shapeshifting witch so maybe it doesn’t have to me an exact copy of a real bird

[@kammy6340]

I loved this sequel so much. I was worried it would be really bad. But it felt like a real sequel and the last scene was so heart wrenching. Wow. I loved it.

[@zp5016]

I absolutely love Jessica's break downs!

[@GB-xt7zm]

This was a surprisingly good sequel

[@DarrinR]

This was 🗑 straight 🗑

[@LPB09]

@@DarrinR nah

[@hananarnold]

Disagree. it was WAY better than I would of imagined. 💯 percent amazing

[@bridgetkorns8174]

I love Jess' dress. 💗 I totally cried too. 😭

[@Master0fHyrule]

Amazon Alexa is a call back to the school scene in Hocus Pocus just used in a different way. Penny and Garry Marshall died some years back so that's why they probably broke the 4th wall.

[@Mugshot_Productions]

I loved this movie I thought it was a good watch didn’t know you guys would break it down.

[@Sin.attire]

Man i love when Jessica stars in the videos

[@stephballchange5050]

My favourite detail is in the Walgreens, the reason the Sisters first believe that eating the products have worked is because the teenagers take the selfie with a Snapchat beauty filter applied. This is what buys the girls extra time before the witches realise they’ve been tricked !

[@ironicanimations]

I’m extremely excited how the movie came out, it was so fun, even the “gonna get ya” remix was perfect-

[@lalolopez5183]

Such an amazing sequel. Definitely had the nostalgia we needed and was really emotional.

[@DamienCross66]

This was filmed in my home state of Rhode Island & a few friends & I got to watch some of the filming in the old Salem town set that is at the beginning of the movie.

[@GrooveHillStudio]

Thanks for the video Jessica! I love your energy!

[@KarinaHunter]

Thanks for a GREAT breakdown Jess! LOVE your super-glam halloweeny fashion :)

[@longhairgreeneyes]

LOVE that dress on you!! I've never been too impressed with the original Hocus Pocus, but I was surprised at how good this sequel was! I really enjoyed it.

[@terrelljohnson2690]

Ha! love that you brought up Siri (Apple home pod) if you watch with closed caption they kept calling it Alexa lol

[@aaronbuhatin890]

Thank god! I'm not the only one who also loves this movie

[@freelikeyve]

😂

[@spellbound_1]

My favorite is the fact they came out of a Walgreens, when there's one irl right near the site where the hangings actually happened.

[@patrickcharles6983]

it doesn't touch the original film. similar to "The Craft:Legacy", it's a late made sequel that missed the point of original,the characters and what made it special in the 1st place. Salem in "Hocus Pocus" actually felt like a lived in location, Salem in HP2 feels like it was filmed on downtown Disney before opening/after closing. the only thing this movie accomplished was making Rob Zombie's The Munsters look better by comparison.

[@topher2113]

Jess talking about the Sanderson sisters?! This is everything I didn't know I needed!!! Love the movie :)

[@simply_geri]

tbh when they said they made hocus pocus 2 i got excited but I didn't have my hopes up because i don't want to be disappointed. after seeing this film, i actually liked it. it was just a perfect sequel to the first one & yes the crucial ending scenes did tug my heart as well. so well done to the creators of hocus pocus 2 🤧

[@CallmeMissKay]

Jessica’s dress & hair is giving me Whitney Houston’s fairy godmother from Cinderella vibes & I love it!

[@owencarson8412]

They keep coming back with more. It amazes me 😮

[@melikeymalarky4460]

Bot.

[@IC4N7C]

That was a great movie! I just watched both 1 and 2 back to back!

[@scgaming9494]

#29 the book can sweat because “its cover is bound in human skin” as explained by Allison in the first movie. It’s a nice reminder/reference to the first movie.

[@nbunnysnowboard]

I thought it was kinda funny that they went into a Walgreens because there is a Walgreens that stands on the site of the actual hangings of the accused witches in Salem, I live around the corner from it!

[@thespibunny272]

It was such a good sequel! And I agree Jess the ending made me tear up too.

[@CookieMonstaHG]

13:54 You left out the "slightly colorful raven" form of the "Witch Mother" flying in behind the girls just before the cut to credits.

[@matthewcs490]

This movie was spellbinding. I cried when the Sanderson Sisters appeared after 30 years. The two musical numbers were bewitching and I loved the new cast members. They were so good!

[@kristindemaria2327]

I loved this movie! I cried too! And I spotted every call back ❤❤❤❤

[@pollo0408]

Booooooooook! I absolutely loved this sequel, it was amazing, and the ending just tore me to pieces Edit = Also the one way or another performance was amazing

[@huntress647]

I love your dress! Also Izzy, Becca, and Cassie’s outfits can also be seen as a Sanderson Sisters Disneybound

[@THEShoky]

The colorful raven also flies after the girls at the end.

[@mikechicago6200]

BTW there was a Robot Chicken Hocus Pocus sketch and Mary played again by kathy Najiny flies with Roombas and that was way funnier there then here!

[@angelinamckinney2728]

Absolutely loved the movie and enjoyed this short review of it. All positive vibes to reliving a cult classic on both counts.

[@mcdanielne1]

You are fabulous! You're the only reviewer who mentioned what likely happened to The Witch Mother's Coven! (I thought so, too) Enjoy this Spooky Season!👻

[@rayneozier]

I love the first Hocus Pocus. Me and my younger brother watch that and Halloween Town basically every October. We just saw this one and I enjoyed it. It had some cool scenes and I thought it was really cute.

[@danarussell9656]

I noticed that in the first movie- Max, Allison, and Dani were wearing red (Dani) green (Max) and the beige cardigan (Allison). In the sequel, the three girls were also wearing the same colors.

[@jeremiahmarlow8938]

Have a amazing day

[@Andrewwrichard09]

Jessica knowing Drag Race queens made my day!

[@DanielMaster]

Noticed that the Mother Witch wore a variation of Dani's original costume

[@donutboys2]

I am actually surprised you made a video on this

[@anthonysolis3795]

Just watched this movie and I truly enjoyed it I wanted it to keep going so much nostalgia and seeing the Sanderson sister again was a beautiful delight, and of course once I seen there was a breakdown with Jessica I had to immediately watch this aswell 😊

[@JC_Cali]

Pleasantly surprised by this sequel! Especially opening with the Minnie Winnie who was ACTINGGG

[@Glo419]

I LOVE your witch dress!!! Where can I buy one?! I loved this sequel!! Book probably has a lot more to him than what's in the movies. Gilbert & Billy movie I'd watch for sure! I know it, I cried too!! It was perfect that Winnie went to them, perfect! They can definitely come back, of course, there's gonna be a third movie!

[@iikaedenii]

OMG QUEEN i didn't know you guys were gonna do this breakdown

[@spellbound_1]

I feel like #33 could be a deep reference to the Blair Witch franchise, iirc the first one has the witch encounter and the second one establishes the first as a film within it's own Canon that ends up being an actual thing.

[@rosendosanchez401-v8]

I LOVED IT, i was laughing and crying the entire movie. One of the best secuels

[@Alma0908]

Great job Jessica!!! You look absolutely amazing btw in your dress. One thing I think you didn’t see was when it shows the Mayor with his family on the billboard, if you look at the background you’ll see Max & Dani’s house from the first movie. Love all your videos!!

[@TheGamer_MJ]

Jessica I have the exact same theory about the mother witch

[@Beth-sx5lc]

I love this film I haven't seen the first in quite some time but every time there was a callback the nostalgia hit me like a wave since I watched the original a lot as a kid :')

I just love how many ITYSL sketches are being referenced in NR videos lately.

[@burneyboys02]

The nostalgia was all over the place and I loved it!!!

[@stumbling_]

I was watching it last night and between watching the original hocus pocus and whistling "I put a spell on you" all I could think was "what if new rockstars made a video...." and here we are

[@smittysmee]

I think this should have just been a prequel from the get go. Also the heel turn from murdering teens to I want to be good to get my sister's back was a little too quick.

[@barijade]

I just finished watching the movie and came right here afterwards. One extra thing I noticed was when the HomePod and Siri were talking to them as they walked in the house, the closed captions credited it as "Alexa" LOL

[@carryoutmoth1416]

I'm kind upset they gave the witches a happy ending after they murdered a bunch of children 300 years ago

[@ElectricIguana]

SJP is as old today as Bette was in the first film. Bette is still boss in this one--looks, moves, and sounds amazing!

[@Stephanie-ed3vd]

I desperately want a prequel now with the 3 younger girls!

[@iousdeeva]

i noticed when the ground cracked open it split into three for each sister and looked like a devil's pitchfork!

[@Potatoes-and-Turtles]

THE WITCHES THE WITCHES THE WITCHES ARE BACK

[@velvetelvis999]

Sorry I'm a bird nerd. The "colorful raven" is actually a red winged blackbird. Just so you know.

[@gabyrodriguez2147]

AHHHH !! literally as I was watching the movie I was thinking to myself "I wish New Rockstars would break this down" I love when dreams come true :')

[@jesusebermartinez2374]

I thought it read, "BF Canole #2"

[@trizm2236]

Same here, the soundtrack has the final track as Cobweb Canole, so I assumed that B.F. #2 stood for boyfriend #2, who is now Cobweb the cat.

[@Hennertheshort]

Best entrance of all the NR vids!

[@EdoSora47]

The bus scene from the first movie: Winifred: We desire... children. Bus driver: It may take me a couple of tries, but I don't think that would be a problem. Me as an adult : O_O;;

[@RickyBobby-me7sr]

Solid sequel, good family fun. I really wish Thackery Binx was in it, but there was barely any mention

[@risingphenoix9292]

My inner child was so hyped and I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. We finally got the sequel we've been waiting for.

[@blb50]

This movie was an early Disney Channel TV movie set in the 2020s...was not good. Had a few chuckles but couldn't remember anything about the movie. Ploy was easy to figure out

[@Lady_dromeda]

Totally unrelated: you look FABULOUS IN THAT DRESS OMG!!!

[@winterwonderland1491]

In the third film I think Allison Dani and Max should come back and team up with our young wiches to ‘take down’ the Sanderson sisters. Or maybe just Dani

[@NAVEMAN3]

what makes me laugh about the rumbas is that Todrick Hall thought of that first. No joke.

[@gwenstacyspidercat4294]

Wish I could like this multiple times!

[@GusHdzRuiz]

I just wish the lead teenagers were as memorable as the ones from the first.

[@trey3rob]

I loved it. Smiled the whole time

[@klu5301]

Loved the sequel so much!

[@COOLPEAK]

No where near as good as the original but def a good sequel. Original hocus pocus is still the best Halloween and in general best holiday event movie

[@Wisdomandwine]

ya'll missed an easter egg! the Denison house is behind the Traske family in the billboard.

[@Einstein4203]

I ugly cried when the spell took the sisters away and even more when it broke wineys heart
