217. Teen Witch with special guest Alex Steed

Movies That Made Us Gay

"TOP THAT!" We conjure one of the most important pieces of filmmaking to come out of the 80s this week, and watched Teen Witch staring Robin Lively with our friend Alex Steed. After a flop theatrical run in 1989, this kooky teen comedy about a sixteen year-old named Louise who discovers she has magical powers, ended up in heavy rotation on Disney Channel where it got its devoted following. Ya'll this movie is an insane explosion of late 80s camp! Complete with denim yoked skirts, crimped hair, and the whitest of rap battles, the famous musical sequences (Top That, and I Like Boys) have been burned into everyone's brain since. We discuss Joshua Miller's stealing the movie with his insane portrayal of younger brother Richie, Louise's Doctor Manhattan-level witchy powers, and what this movie has in comon with Teen Wolf and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The rules of witchraft as laid out in Teen Wich may be muddy (did Louise erase her nerdy/hot blind date from existence?), but the fashions, catchphrases and spontaneous rap battles will always be a part of our collective consciousness.
