Retroist Teen Witch Podcast

In this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I discuss the late-eighties teen fantasy comedy, Teen Witch. This movie has become a cult classic and had many fans, all of whom arrived at that fandom in different ways. My fandom was a slow burn but was acquired without a hint of irony.

I start off talking about how I arrived at that fandom before moving onto the film itself. Then I discuss the people in front of and beyond the camera, the shooting locations, the music, its reception, and much more.

If I cannot persuade you to check out the entire film, please point your browser over to YouTube and search for Top That. Even if you have seen it a dozen times, it will bring a smile to your face.

Production Notes

  • This is episode 239 of the Retroist Podcast.

  • Music on the show is, as always, by Peachy.

  • I edited out a lot about the cast. Sometimes it’s just too much, but I do sometimes feel bad because a lot of talented people here.

  • I discussed Bewitched for about a minute. Edited that out.

  • I discussed It’s Your Move for about 30 seconds. Edited that out.

  • I tried to edit in more movie music, but not comfortable with it. So kept it minimal.

  • Edited out my favorite lines from the film. That was two minutes.

  • I tried out a new section about locations. It was meh. I did keep in a little trivia about the Thriller house, but that is it.

  • I had another commercial break for Skittles, but it was a bit on the nose. Taste the rainbow.

  • I forgot to mention a Gibb on the Saved by the Bell theme.

  • I had laid out the lyrics to Top That, but it didn’t really go anywhere. I edited that out but pulled some out for the stinger. No sirens interrupting this episode, which was a nice change.

  • I played around with the effect I play during quotes. It is less “telephone-like” now and should be easier to hear. I am going to use this setting from now on.

  • I thought I was having some weird microphone issues, but it turned out to be a software issue. That’s a relief. I really like my microphone.

Thanks for listening to the show and I hope you have a great weekend.
