DIVA FILM CLUB - Hocus Pocus 🎃 🎃 🎃 🧙‍♀️ 🧙‍♀️ 🧙‍♀️ 🎃 🎃 🎃

Big Diva Energy

Di-vaaaaaaas!

It's the single most Diva-fuelled children's film ever made. It's a star vehicle for three ICONS of the Diva-verse with some gloriously inappropriate plot-work and some questionable casting choices (siblings playing a married couple anyone?). We love it. We know you do too. It's Hocus Pocus!

And this is an extra-special, ultra-spoopy Hallowe'en treat (not a trick): the first ever Diva Film Club!

Your Grand High Witches, Holly & Tom - in the age-old tradition of minimal research, maximum opinions - talk through some of the background to the movie, then dive into a watch of Disney's cinematic masterpiece. Along the way, they are joined by their familiars, some amazing contributors, including drag sensation Peaches actual Christ.

If you want to watch along, divas-will-be-doing in this very order (with musical stings in between so you can pause and catch up):

1) Prologue to The 90s

2) The 90s to Appearance of the Witches

3) Appearance of the Witches to The Ball

4) The Whole Ball

4) The Ball to The End
