Episode 178 - Flickers from Witch Mountain

It's another sausage party on the podcast as we look at two Disney movies from our childhoods that meant a lot to us. Featuring psychic power, gangs of children, flying saucers and more than a few screen legends, these two films left very large marks in our young, malleable brains! We start off with 1975's "Escape to Witch Mountain" where the villains are played by Donald Pleasance and Ray Milland! We follow that up with 1978's "Return from Witch Mountain" where the bad guys are Christopher Lee and Bette Davis!!! Both films are directed by John Hough and have Ike Eisenmann and Kim Richards as Tony and Tia, a brother and sister pair who start off knowing very little about their pasts but who come to understand much more over the course of the two movies. Both have that unmistakable Disney energy and charm and they really took us back to our childhoods. If you have to pick one, make sure it's the first film but they both are worth your time if you don't mind some cheese in your movies.Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
