Please PLEASE do Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!!

I watched this film many times as a child on a VHS tape my father recorded for us off of a TV airing which was the height of technology. I am interested how my re-watching experience will be 20+ years later without the accompanying 1993 commercials.

Bedknobs!!! ‘Witches defeat Nazis’ is an evergreen theme. I know all the lyrics to all of the songs and they randomly pop into my head at irregular intervals (”teach my tongue the transcendental rhymes!”).

You need to rest before LOTR. You’re talking hours and hours, and hours. Thank you for your service! 🧹 🛏

Please, whatever you do, find a priest, a rabbi, a shaman and whatever other holy people you can gather up to safely dispose of Johnny Appleseed in a very hot fire.

Omg absolutely Bedknobs and Broomsticks. I'm so tired of no one in my life wanting to talk about it because they don't know what it is.

Congratulations on your new home with two houses!! I was blindly, hopelessly in love with John Henson when I was in eighth grade. My sister (who briefly worked in ~The Industry~) had a pair of signed Talk Soup boxer shorts! Because it was the 90's, they were also functionally a parachute! I'd love to see B&B next (out of respect for the dead), and LOTR as.a holiday/New Year release!

On the edge of my seat for LOTR, but honestly I love everything you write so whatever.

I'm just patiently dying for LOTR but I've never not loved a single Butt News, whether I've seen the movie or not. That's the power of BN!

And now to be the commenter who makes an off-topic suggestion...has Hook been suggested? As a quasi-holiday movie perhaps?

My 43-yo ass randomly did a solo Bedknobs and Broomsticks rewatch less than a month ago. I do know it’s just a coincidence, but I basically NEVER watch movies/TV by myself, so the fact that I chose that specific title from my childhood is…something. Anyway, it was delightfully absurd and mostly held up. Would love a Butt News review of it!
