HOCUS POCUS RETRO MOVIE REVIEW | Double Toasted

[@jp3813]

25:00 They all just forgot that the cat is immortal.

[@loosenukes8153]

I like that they don't let Korey get away with nonsense sometimes. Korey: The cat could write a note. Martin: that's physically impossible, it has paws. Korey: He could kill something and write the note in blood. Martin/Chris: Yeah the people of Salem would love a note in blood. Korey: I don't even know why there is a crematorium in a school. Chris: It's a kiln.

[@aryastark575]

"Crematorium" 😂😂😂

[@HiMynamesNece]

🤣🤣🤣 on to the next subject

[@thejammiestjam]

At least regarding the sun at the end, it's not the sun that's going to hurt them. The spell ends at dawn, so the witches had a race against time. The sun rising meant their time was up to succeed at completing their spell to stay youthful.

[@jessicanoelle2012jp]

I love that Corey forgot how dark both kids and family movies got in the 90's. These witches are killing kids and doing it gleefully. I'm like Corey did you forget that the Lion King used Macbeth as a working template for its script. But yes 90's kids and family movies and tv shows could be darker than a lot of cinema today

[@CLDJ227]

i love this film. Total nostalgia for me. Classic performances by Bette, Kathy & Sarah 😄💗

[@ToonSkribblez]

I feel like this movie is so well loved because it has the right amount of spooky fun. It's not too scary but not too childish either. And I honestly wish more movies were like that.

[@mclark2959]

I grew up on this because it would air on Disney Channel non-stop during October. It became a tradition in my family to watch it after we came back from trick or treating, last movie of the night 😊

[@asabovesotello441]

In the screenplay, it’s established that only people that believe in the supernatural can hear Binx. In fact, Allison and Dani can hear the Binx talk in the witches house before Max can. He’s telling them to get out of there but Max doesn’t believe them.

[@RestingCatNipFace]

I didn’t know that. Interesting

[@JinxSanity]

I swear Korey's entire discussion on the Cat not learning to write his name and all was about 10 minutes long in the uncut podcast 🤣

No kidding! I was awestruck when Korey couldn't get off the subject.

[@donovanbradford8231]

[@adu1991]

I watched this movie nearly EVERY Halloween. This, along with "Halloweentown". Sarah Jessica Parker was attractive in this, Betty Middler was charismatic, and YES...y.e.s. the voice of PEGGY HILL(Kathy Najimy) was in this movie!!!

[@chrisrod23]

Oh shit I never knew she voiced Peggy!

[@CLDJ227]

I'm with Chris in that I thought this was a Disney Channel original movie because of how often that Channel played this every October along with Halloweentown. So you forget that this was theatrically released and has the dark edge that it has.

[@rommix0]

> this was theatrically released and it bombed hard at the time. That's why people think the movie was a tv exclusive movie.

[@jbwarner8626]

@@rommix0 In all fairness, Disney released it in July, which is an awful time of year for a Halloween movie. The Nightmare Before Christmas got the October release on Disney's schedule that year (under Touchstone Pictures, but still) and I can only assume they didn't want two Halloween movies competing with each other at the same time.

[@ZUIKMedia]

[@hernalexito]

Amok, Amok, Amok...This movie is a classic

[@scoutravenson3641]

23:11 the actor who plays human Thackery is the same guy who plays Agent McGee on NCIS. The voice actor who takes over the role for the rest of the movie is the same guy who plays teenage Max Goof in the two Goofy movies. Even when Thackery appears as a ghost in the end, for some reason it’s not the actor’s own voice, but rather the Max Goof guy still dubbing him. I also work at Disney World and when we have the Halloween celebration in Magic Kingdom, the Sanderson sisters take over the stage at Cinderella’s castle, the show is narrated by the Max Goof actor repiecing his role as Thackery over the sound system. Why the other actor did so little, I have no idea🤷🏻‍♀️

[@arnulfo267]

This doesn't feel like a Disney movie. This feels more like a Warner Brothers movie.

[@jbwarner8626]

It's one of the last vestigial traces of Disney's edgier live-action fare that took off in the '80s, when they made really wild stuff like The Watcher in the Woods and TRON and Return to Oz. There was a little bit of it left after this - The Santa Clause has some surprisingly raunchy jokes in it, and Operation Dumbo Drop is kind of unusual as a comedy set during the Vietnam War - but by the late '90s, the edge was completely gone. That's when we got junk like Mr. Magoo and My Favorite Martian and Inspector Gadget that didn't have a brain in its head.

[@bigpictureguys8415]

I believe Chris said it “looks like”, which it definitely does from the poster

[@phatman8986]

That's fair 😆

[@PhilHug1]

The sequel definitely feels like a Disney movie...unfortunately

[@jbwarner8626]

@@PhilHug1 The sequel fits snugly into the modern Disney trend of "there are no villains anymore, and even the most horrible characters have sympathetic backstories." Like... okay, if you wanna do that for an original story, fine, that can work. Encanto and Turning Red pulled it off great. But when you take established villains like Maleficent or Cruella DeVil and go "Look, they're human after all!", something doesn't click. Those villains didn't need tragic histories or a more sympathetic portrayal, they were fun _because_ they were rotten to the core, and you rooted all the more for the heroes to overcome them. The Sanderson Sisters don't need to learn about the loving bonds of family togetherness, and we don't need to see them as poor abused children forced into arranged marriages. They were just three crazy old hags who ate kids' souls, and that was all the first movie needed to be great. And this is that trap that Disney always falls into when they do sequels or prequels or remakes now - their idea of keeping things fresh for the audience is changing who the characters are, then trotting them through a plot we've already seen. That's the opposite of how it should be. A good sequel should introduce a new challenging scenario for established characters, but who they are should remain consistent.

[@collectingmythoughts991]

The only dark part of the ending for me was killing off the most loveable villains since The Joker...I just saw it as Binx finally being freed of his curse and reunited with his sister while finding retribution by protecting Dani...Really as happy as you could get unless you're a fan of the sisters like me. lol

[@jongon0848]

I always figured Binx couldn't actually talk as a cat, until Max lit the candle and the witches were brought back.

According to Kenny Ortega, that's what was intended all along. Notice how in the last few moments he's alive as a cat after the sisters die, he goes back to just meowing again.

This movie had Korey losing his damn mind 😂😂😂😂😂 the cat rant alone is priceless.

[@tempusspiritus]

I always theorized that Thackery didn’t speak either because newly turned he didn’t know how meaning it may have taken him years to learn to talk with a cat’s vocal cords or as we don’t see him talk until after the witch’s are resurrected maybe his ability to speak is connected to that. His immortality is tied to them, ending only when the candle burned out, so maybe with them dead he couldn’t speak. He doesn’t appear until after they’ve dead so sadly perhaps he just arrived too late.

[@katelynrushe9025]

I just saw this movie for the first time a few days ago, and I was surprised by what it did with the bully characters. You’d expect Max to rescue them from the witches because he’s the altruistic hero who wants to save the town, but not only does he leave those bullies in their cages, he makes a point to take back his shoes from them to rub it in that he’s not saving them. Ice cold, man.

[@meghanobrien3045]

the actor playing thackery is not the actor voicing him or the cat, I notice it more in the opening as an adult

[@geardog24]

Something tells me that in the beginning of the script the witches were actually good, but someone said "F*ck that, let's unalive some kids!"

[@TheMeloettaful]

And I say thank God for that someone who suggested that idea instead of the former lol 😆!

[@reikun86]

Jason Marsden (Max from A Goofy Movie) dubbed the voice of Thackery over Sean Murray because Murray's voice sounded too modern.

[@jbwarner8626]

I hadn't seen this movie all the way through until just this year, but now that I have, I get why it's a cult classic. It's just plain fun! It captures the vibe of what you want Halloween to be when you're a kid - you go trick-or-treating all night, and then you go on some big exciting spooky adventure. And the Sanderson Sisters are great. They're like if the Three Stooges were witches 😆

[@jdrvargo287]

As a kid I had a huge crush on Sarah Sanderson.

I was born in 1982 and saw this at 11 and can appreciate the boldness movies took back then vs 2024. As a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s I was exposed to way more mature rated movies than kids now in 2024. Movies were able to be more creative in the 80s and 90s because they didn't have to be afraid of over sensitive society we live in now. Im glad Korey pointed it out and I also noticed how Sarah Jessica Parkers character always had a sexual desires for other characters in the movie.

Hocus pocus 2 was pretty good. I wouldn't be mad at anyone who we say why do a sequel but at the same time It was a good watch. Saw the plot coming but wasn't mad at it and it definitely has more money in it than the original. Overall a good streaming movie.
