I’ll Show You… The Witches (1990)

MoviesSeason Two
Written By Elyse Wietstock

Welcome to I'll Show You Mine! This week, Elyse shows James the 1990 film, The Witches, based on the book by Roald Dahl. A movie burned into the brains of many a 90s youth, it's the story of a young boy and his grandmother and their unexpected quest to destroy all the witches in England while on holiday at a seaside hotel, and stop their plan to turn all the children in the country into mice.

We talk about the visceral transformations in this movie, "Cronenberg mice," the terrible changed ending, and nerd out over sweet mouse stunts. Join us, won't you?

Next week: James shows Elyse "WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!" for the Game Boy Advance.
