Hi! First, I'm so glad that you are back! I've been checking in with your podcast since last August and was concerned when it seemed you just went off the grid. I'm very relieved to know that you and your family are ok, and I hope everything is going well for you all! Needless to say, I was thrilled when I checked your podcast last month and you had posted a new episode! I just finished listening to your most recent episode on witches and it was great, and the long list of movies, shows, cartoons, etc...featuring witches that you provided was cool. I'm just chiming in here because I didn't hear you list the movie Bell, Book and Candle, which is a really great movie! It stars Kim Novak, playing a witch, and James Stewart, who is absolutely entranced by her. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it! (And a big bonus is that Elsa Lancaster, who played Bride of Frankenstein stars in it as well, and she is AMAZING in it.) That's all, I 🎃 your podcast!!!! Please keep it up, and please stay spooky 👻!!!
