Description

What can I say, we've waited 29 years for this. Were you thrilled with it? Disappointed in it? Eh about it? Like parts and hated other parts? Do you think they will make a third film? Or maybe just turn this into a tv series to follow three new witches? Who knows what the future will hold, but "they're witches are back and there's hell to pay..."

I met up with friends on the night this film was released and we had two "Char-boo-terie" boards along with a themed cocktail and more alcohol for shots. One of us partied a little too hard during the film, but you will hear about that during the episode. Let's just say we had to record another day.
