04 — Matilda and Kiki

Let’s ease off the vengeance in favor of some bright and happy kid witches! Today, we discuss witchly qualifications of the titular heroines of “Matilda” (book by Roald Dahl, film by Danny DeVito) and “Kiki’s Delivery Service” (by Hayao Miyazaki). ALSO: Satanism for kids, all-ages concert venues, a supportive sense of sisterhood, and, inevitably, X-Men. Audio samples: “Matilda” “Hamilton: An American Musical” “Kiki’s Delivery Service” Don't disappoint the gods by missing an episode! Subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or SoundCloud!
