Jay is Enjoying the HBO dramatic series The Penguin, an origin story of the classic DC comics Batman villain. Colin Farrell’s amazing transformation into the title character is phenomenal.

Enjoy Witches!
For hundreds of years witches have been the source of stories and fear. But the origins and creators of these fears are way scarier than what might have been actual practicing witches. A written record of a witch dates back almost 3000 years ago. In the mid 1400s some really ignorant and cowardly men wrote a book that created a hysteria of violence towards women who they accused of practicing witchcraft (whether they were or not)
Have we become wiser and more evolved today? Well, probably not. But we have a ton of witch characters in TV, books, and movies that can entertain us and even make us question the wisdom of how we treat others. Classic characters like Elphaba and Glenda from Wizard of Oz have lasted generations. Cartoon favorites like Maleficent, Broomhilda, and Sabrina gave us opportunities to laugh at the characters as kids.
Then, at the end of the 20th century, the characters in Harry Potter truly showed that witches could be powerful heroes. It really changed people’s perspectives of witches in our culture. Now we see them pop up in all kinds of different ways, both good and bad. We have no doubt that witches’ legendary status will last forever.
Which witch do you watch? Who's your favorite? First person that emails me with the subject line, “I’ll get you my little pretty” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to [email protected]
