E297 A Halloween Holiday Gift and Justice for Book

TOPICS: SELKIES, THE ABDUCTION OF SHAWN HORNBECK AKA THE MISSOURI MIRACLE


A close-up of "Book" in Hocus Pocus 2. Book's green eye looks very wistful or longing.

Hello Hocus Pocus community: It's episode 297 and Em has some thoughts! Including giving all the awards to the actor and/or CGI artist behind Book. We also challenge you (and Blaise) to count how many times we say "lore" this episode because Em is covering the Selkies, a magical seal-folk who can shed their skin and turn into humans. Then Christine brings us the chilling but wildly resolved story of the abduction of Shawn Hornbeck, also known as the Missouri Miracle. And don't forget to tune in to hear all about Leona's rager... and that's why we drink!
