FIRST TIME WATCHING *Hocus Pocus 2* and it WASN'T what we expected!

[@elliotblabla]

I’m sure it’s obvious to a lot of people, but to anyone that it isn’t… When Winnie absorbed all that power her eyes glowed the same colour as the witch we see in the flashback, before her sisters - her coven - disintegrates. And the witch, when asked where her coven was, alluded to the fact that they weren’t alive. Because she too had cast the spell to become all-powerful and lost everyone she cared about, hence why she made the girls promise to never cast the spell. She was trying to spare them the same fate that she had.

[@hexalfac]

Finally I see someone commenting on this! I have not seen anyone mention this anywhere!

[@elliotblabla]

@@hexalfac It also explains why Book kept closing on Winnie when she tried reading the spell - it’d seen the pain the spell had caused before and wanted spare her.

[@steph0711]

Yeah I had put two and two together and it's a nice touch/easter egg. You're the first one that I hear/read point it out though

[@iceheart974]

I think the mother witch is still alive. We see her crow following the girls at the end of the movie.

[@elliotblabla]

@@iceheart974 She definitely is, that all-powerful spell likely included immortality. Hell, we even saw Binks cursed with that in the first one, though of course he was STUCK as an animal.

[@stephaniefrost4910]

that fact that those Roombas are just Mary's "enchanted pets" the whole movie is the silliest aspect that I honestly don't mind lol

[@bluewolf6323]

Enchanted pets is something I'm gonna call Roomba from now on because we already call Roombas our babies and pets...

[@maddisonmarrufo6430]

Can somebody please help me find ways to do that I lost more than one person in my life I lost my grandparents and my uncle and my guider that helped my family take care of us while my parents were gone

[@KristinaEspinoza]

I already cried seeing this movie's ending the first time but now I just full on sobbed with Rizzo's tribute added to it. I wish more people liked the ending. It's meant to be a bittersweet one as we most likely we never see these three women together as the sisters on a screen again. It's a farewell to the women who made the Hocus Pocus franchise what it is today - before Disney creates a new show/movie series following these three new characters (who have some big shoes to fill).

[@hannonbaggin1649]

Idk if anyone said this, BUT in the real world when they say "Virgin" for witchcraft, they mean anyone who hasn't used their blood in the craft. So technically, anyone can be used if they haven't used their blood for any spell! 🖤💜

[@PinkPopcast]

Ooohh

[@RealBradMiller]

Exactly what a virgin _would_ say!! Lol jk

[@auricstorm]

Can you lose your blood virginity in exactly the same icky ways? Specifically is it only lost when you 1) willingly and 2) donate it, so if someone stole a bloody tissue or tied you to a sacrificial slab and you escaped later you still count as a virgin even though your blood got stolen

[@hannonbaggin1649]

@@auricstorm unfortunately I would think so, but just as in when someone SA someone, it doesn't count in my eyes. You know? If someone takes that from you, I don't believe it counts. And thats really what it all is, is intentions!

[@hannonbaggin1649]

@PinkPopcast I didn't realize you commented! 😭 I love you guys. Lmao a year later

[@sparky3574]

My family thought it was weird for me that the witches turned to dust I cried. But I don’t care, somehow I cried for Winnie and her sisters even after with what happened. God this movie tugged on my heart strings.

[@PinkPopcast]

Well clearly you weren’t alone feeling that way 🥹

[@thewordshifter]

Can confirm, showed the 1st one to my 6 and 8 year olds this year, and my mom friends told me it might awaken the question of "what is a virgin?" Thankfully the kids never asked 😬

[@PinkPopcast]

😂😂

[@cryingtomatohead8626]

I've been saying this since I saw th movie. The book is literally full of evil spells, is made of human skin and might still be from the devil. The reuniting spell is literally a spell that kills the target to reunite them with a loved one. And those girls are keeping it...WHY!?

[@PinkPopcast]

RIGHT!?!?

[@britlynelmore]

Mary was always my favorite, even as a little girl when the first one came out... but now the roombas...just make me adore her.

[@PinkPopcast]

😂😂

[@clueless4238]

If it helps...in the first movie the LEGEND said they got the book from the devil. I don't think the sisters ever confirmed that. Maybe that will help people feel better. Lol

[@seattlecryptid]

I think I saw someone point out that Dani is dressed as the Mother Witch in the first movie. Cool tie in. 😊 Also I love how chaotically threatening Mary is in this movie.

[@scarletbabushka]

I had to STOP the video to come here and tell you, BENJI, you slayed me with [Angelica Leaves] "where'd she go?"

[@PinkPopcast]

That hit me SO HARD when filming lol

[@PinkPopcast]

😂😂😂

[@crystalrose_pa]

So glad you pointed out 1. How amazing the actress that plays Young Winnie is (you can tell she really studied the first movie) and 2. Billy's sudden accent?? I haven't seen anyone else mention it and it drove me nuts the entire movie. Also, even in the first one Garry Marshall's character was like "It's the Sanderson Sisters, right?" so people have at least a vague concept of what they would look like or at least know enough that 3 witches together with a red haired leader = Sanderson sisters.

[@seattlecryptid]

Billy's accent... Nearly took me out of the movie.

[@crystalrose_pa]

@@seattlecryptid It was very distracting every time he was on screen which was disappointing because the makeup was so on point

[@PinkPopcast]

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with you lol… Even if he had a faint accent in the first movie, it was just that, Faint. And I’m specifically referencing when he calls Winne a “bucktoothed firefly form hell”. He didn’t talk a lot in the last movie but he did talk and you didn’t hear or barely noticed an accent. And in this one the first two words out of his mouth had a HEAVY accent. If you apply the accent from this movie to the last one, The few lines he had would’ve sounded very different 😅

[@seattlecryptid]

@@PinkPopcast exactly! Even with what little Billy spoke in the first movie, his voice sounded americanized at least.

[@MiltonTeal]

The whiplash!! I was dying laughing at the whites kids you know reference and then weeping about aunt Elba. What a rollercoaster.

[@PinkPopcast]

Hah yea we tend to have roller coaster of emotions 😅

[@liveinluv]

Most iconic trio!!!! Also the actress who plays young Winifred really did a wonderful job.👏👏 Love the Pink Popcast videos!!💕

[@junie1032]

I cried at the end too because they remind me so much of my mom and her sisters, and although they are separated by distance I'm fortunate enough that they are still here. I agree that this didn't quite capture the charm of the first one but it was still a great legacy sequel and such a fun time. I actually liked it even more the second time. The songs didn't hit for me either but definitely grew on me the next time around!

[@PinkPopcast]

Yea we’re already finding that we’re enjoying it more rewatching it

[@charysmaalvarez8057]

Actually I remember very distinctly crying at the end of this movie because I live so far from my sisters, but when the movie came out they were visiting and we watched it together before they had to leave The second hand grief of thinking about a world without them really tore my day up and while I was sad to see them leave to go live their life I’m thankful I still have them with me

I got the Angelica joke at the same moment as Rizzo. 😂😂 It's so bad, yet so good. 😂

[@jacquelinecallejas1390]

Just because Alyson in Hocus Pocus SAID that the story was that Satan gave the Sanderson sisters the book it doesn't mean it ACTUALLY happened that way. I can easily picture the Reverend preaching about how "satan himself" gave them the book just making it up on the spot. So I don't see that as an inconsistency or mistake. BTW I read that the reason that Mary says Cowabunga is that she did voice work for a Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon and they say cowabunga there too.

[@lordbyronkeith9488]

Binx told us that Winifred got the book from the devil but he wasn't there and we only assumed that was true. As we saw that wasn't the case.

[@pedronotarangeli]

the witch mother was the one who gave the book to them when she realized that they were different, however, they become witches when they give up their souls to the devil. the book was probably a gift from the devil to the witch mother, which she gave to the sisters so that they could become a new coven. the witch mother performed the forbidden spell, that's why her eyes were purple when she appears and also when she says her coven left. that's why she warned Winifred and her sisters never to do the spell, because she had to lose her own coven to become immortal and extremely powerful. So, in the end, the rumor about Winnie receiving the book from satan isn’t all fake, cause by the end of the day mother witch probably got the book with the devil cause they are all satanic witches.

[@steph0711]

I agree on your opinions of the movie. Rizzo said it the way I felt it: it was exactly what I expected in a good way. Loved the nostalgia and the throwbacks to the first. I loved how we got more backstory to the Sanderson sisters, but the songs weren't a hit for me either. though still fun. Rizzo, I am so sorry about your big losses and my sincere condolences and well wishes to you and your family in these hard times. I totally understand how watching this movie with the grief so fresh made you cry a few times. Your mom and aunts look lovely and I totally get how your aunt reminds you of Bette Midler, she looks a bit like her! I hope she'll be around for years to come.

[@edwinbetancourt7301]

What the youngsters don’t know is that the 90’s charm and feeling was all thanks to Garry Marshall (the “master” in the first one) who helped change the first one to a funny movie rather than the original scary movie it was meant as. He helped change MANY films to their charming magical state (Pretty Woman is a HUGE example as the original film had Julia Roberts’ character die at the end). So the sequel didn’t have the charm because Garry Marshall passed away in 2016. So yes seeing the sequel and the first as two separate films is the best thing. Especially since the original kids didn’t appear so it’s a new adventure.
