Cauldron Talk with Curtis Andersen

3.25: I've Aged at Least a Couple Days

It's finally here! We're recapping the Season 3 Finale, "The Good, the Bad, and the Luau" and Skye can finally rest easy (maybe?) now that the family secret has been revealed. AND Harvey's mom finally gives birth, which is an equally important season arc that we definitely didn't forget about, even if we don't actually have a credit for her actress. Sabrina has to face off with her twin, Katrina, to determine who is evil and who is good. Given what we've seen of Sabrina's behavior this season, that's going to be a trickier decision than it should be. Would you be the good twin or the evil twin?

3.24: This is Where I Lost My Mind

Break out your reading glasses, it's time to recap Season 3 Episode 24 "Silent Movie." A lot of seemingly random moments come together beautifully in this fantastic episode, although the weird chicken costume in the opening credits is NOT one. Sabrina is also kind of a bad friend to Valerie again but we get some amazing acting by Martin Mull as a silent movie villain. But why do we never find out what's going on with Grammy Kraft? What we do find out is what Paw Patrol and Sabrina have in common, the history of silent film, and our favorite types of pie. Make sure to listen until the end to hear how close Skye comes to solving the family secret...

3.23: I Don't Like This, Back to Books

Sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight. Exit light, enter Sabrina, the Sandman! In season 3 Episode 23, Sabrina gets a job as a Sandman, helping her neighbors fall asleep each night....and then spying on their dreams. She meddles in people's lives (again), resulting in some disastrous consequences while her aunts get harassed by a man in a giant orange cone costume. They have to get Sabrina to solve the family secret or face "dire" consequences of their own. They're so desperate, they even ask Salem to help, leading to one of the most iconic Salem lines in the entire series. Sabrina might still not understand she shouldn't use mind control on people but at least we get some continuity with Freud's return! In between recap discussions, Skye and Laura also make time to talk about bugs and gardening again, plus mall pretzels, class rings, Pauly Shore, company mascots, and Hugh Jackman's blue balls.

3.22: Laura of an Indeterminate Age

This episode is brought to you by the letter "B" for Big Lebowski, Bee Movie, Burritos, Bananas, and Beverages. We're rewatching Season 3 Episode 22, "The Long and Winding Shortcut," and actually get some clues to the family secret solved! Sabrina also gets punished for trying to take a shortcut on solving said clues which leads to the bigger question - isn't all magic use a shortcut? Hilda and Zelda square off in a political fight and we discuss what mascots our imaginary political parties would have. Valerie is suddenly religious, we get an iconic Salem line, and chat game shows. Listen to this episode while you vote!

3.21: This is the Safe Sex Episode

This is the true story...of two friends...who love Sabrina the Teenage Witch...and have their conversations recorded...as they figure out what happens...in Season 3 Episode 21...Sabrina's Real World. (Pls don't sue us, MTV.) Salem sells the rights to Sabrina's life to a skeezy producer and now she's the star of her very own reality show. She tries being boring to get the show cancelled but the producer keeps sending more and more life-threatening and exciting events her way. The aunts are too busy with their own problems to help her. Hilda is trapped in a "Borscht belt" and must make 1 million jokes before it will come off. And her short, bald date is on his way over. Then Zelda gets called up for Grim Reaper duty to deliver bad news to witches (where was the Bad News Reaper before Sabrina kissed Harvey and turned him into a frog?). Everything works out in the end, though. Except for Hilda's love life. And Salem's business plans. And the man that gets athlete's foot. Enjoy tangents about natural disasters as Skye and Laura discuss some of the ones they have lived through, as well as Nostradamus and the V Chip. Make sure to listen until the end as Skye makes headway on solving the family secret!
