Hocus Pocus 2 is a surprisingly good sequel and we're glad we decided to do a movie commentary and reaction video for it cause it's nice to have fun movies on our channel. With all the ridiculousness of the original and some good quality acting from the newcomers, this sequel really does a great job recapturing the magic of the Sanderson sisters

Hi, I think you guys should watch "The Edge of Seventeen".
the walgreen's scene had a slight reason besides the product placement. the walgreen's they filmed at is an actual one in salem. it is built on the site where they supposedly actually hanged witches in the salem witch trials
I also love that the “bully jock” isn’t really cruel, just dumb. Like he genuinely thinks he’s being friendly. Nice new type of character to see
I wouldn’t say he’s a new type of character (he’s the Himbo), but it is a new spin on the trope
@@catdragon2584 and a more realstic one in my experience. The people Ive met closest to the himbo stereotype have all had huge blind spots or prejiduce they accepted as truth just because they were raised around it and never thought to question it. Cruel or dismissive unintentionally. They intention isnt maliciousness which makes it more frustrating them disgusting.
It took me two viewings to realize that the witch the sisters met in the beginning had done the power spell evidenced by the facts that she was alone, she could shapeshift (something we’ve never seen the sisters do), and that she had the purple eyes.
OH, yeah so that's why she lost her coven I get it that's a nice detail!
One thing that my friend pointed out is that the older witch seems very sad for the lost of her coven. So, may be, she used the spell as well and that’s why she warned then about it. I like this theory.
The witch who gave them the book in the beginning is the witch Dani dressed as in the first movie. Check out the outfit
1:02:39 THANK YOU. I don't really view it as a redemption arc either, it just means that Winifred cared for her sisters more than she let on. They were her family. It's a cute movie! I'll probably never watch it again but still lol
I love this version of one way or another. If you have time, y’all should watch the Addams family and the sequel Addams family Values.
Oh heck yes!! 😊❤🎃
Yes!! They are both such fun movies
The Addams Family is awesome and the sequel is a great sequel and even funnier than the first. Granted the villain isn’t as great but the comedy is still gold.
@@forestcatkay14 I disagree about the villain point on the basis of two words: MALIBU BARBIE
I like that they made the witches unaware of a lot of things from the modern times while not making them stupid. Like at 26:35. They don't know what lotions and stuff are so they're intrigued but they're also not fully buying it, with Mary not just being focused on that and keeping an eye on the "40-year-olds."
Considering Salem is a popular halloween hotspot due to history of the witch trials, you could say the popularity of that history gave witches Salem.
I love the "Who are they performing for?" - "YOU!"
This is honestly a pretty good example of how to reimagine/build off of existing properties, they didn’t try and make it more serious, they didn’t try and justify child eating. It was just focusing on the sisters cause they’re the best part, then blended 90s comedy with a more current comedy
I think technically because Billy was Sarah's lover, it still counts for the spell.
I've noticed that while people don't like the kids in this one, nobody really cared for anyone except for Dani. She carried the original movie along with the witches. Me personally I liked the kids in the new one better except for the one friend that was mostly absent.
When I rewatched this for the second time I noticed the girls were set up to be just like the sisters when you look at the color pallet of their outfits. And I believe the mother witch knew not to use the spell because her eyes glowed purple just like Winnie when she gets all the power.
And I get there’s some plot holes especially when them forgetting the salt part. But I’ve argued with ppl on twitter about how she got the book. In the original the story goes the devil himself gave Winnie the book but in this they show the mother witch give it to her. I explained that in the first one they could have made that up to tell over generations (yes they have met the devil but the sisters themselves never say he gave them the book.) Just like how everyone that Billy was her lover but it was one kiss because no one knew the real story.
And during that time anything strange or “magic” was blamed on the works of Satan. Like black cats were at times thought to be witches who could transform.
Great commentary! I’ve been waiting for your thoughts ☺️
Salt was used in the first film too. Allison read it in Book after they burned the witches in the school kiln. She put some round her and Max when the witches came to the house for Dani and Winifred called her a “clever little white witch”. They also put a circle around Dani and Allison threw it at Sarah during the final stand-off in the graveyard.
For some reason, the sequel suggests the witches are surprised that salt can be used against them. Maybe they meant that the witches didn’t realise it can be reversed on them i.e. a circle of salt around the victim will protect them from dark magic but a circle around the witches themselves keeps them contained.
While I liked the film as a whole, part of me wishes that they could have simply made it a prequel instead, following the exploits of the Sanderson Sisters in their youth. Those scenes were easily the most entertaining, in my opinion.
I'm not gonna lie, I wholeheartedly disagree that the sequel is better than the original. That being said, this was a fun movie but it just didn't feel very fitting as a sequel. I was disappointed that Max, Allison and Dani didn't come back, I thought it was weird to bring Billy back and the kids in this movie weren't as interesting as the kids in the original. I also wasn't a fan of making the main girl a witch. Seemed kind of random. I did however enjoy the Sanderson sisters both the prologue and the present time. It was fun watching Bette, SJP and Kathy reprise their roles.
100% agree!
@@leebrown1213 Because I liked Max and Dani's sibling relationship from bickering to protecting and I always thought Allison was pretty badass when fighting the witches and I thought her bond with Dani was also cute. I can respect that may not be your thing but that's just my personal opinion.
I don't think this one is better, but it was fun, and I think they did well with the nostalgia and the nods to the original. It never seemed overbearing, which is a big problem with bringing back something that's become beloved like this after so many years.
I really want to see a prequel series with these kids learning to become witches and wreaking havoc 😂🎃❤
If it wasn’t for a comment on another reactor’s video I wouldn’t have caught it. But the witch that meets the Sanderson sisters has purple eyes same color Winnie’s turned to when she got the powers. The witch warned them because she had already done it and lost her coven.
I agree with most people on the making the witches sympathetic and they should’ve kept the villainy vibe. But they are sisters and while twisted care for each other.
Missed opportunity for "When you said rekindle an old flame, I didn't think you meant the Black Flame Candle" 😂
I loved the comedy in Hocus Pocus 2, but I really thought the plot was sub-par. Rather than having the new girls find real solutions, they just magically discovered one of them had powers that solved everything. And I hated that they gave the witches a redemption arc. They are evil and literally kill children. So the ending was awful in my opinion. That's something I really dislike about modern Disney. Basically every villain is given a sympathetic background and redemption arc.
This is how I feel as well, plus I personally have never seen the original until recently. I watched the original because I wanted to watch the sequel.
And now having seen both I can definitively say the original is better in my opinion. It’s not nostalgia that says it’s good it’s just good. I loved the reflection of the brother and sister dynamic.
I was actually excited for this but still haven't finished it and had to go back like 2 times already...
I did like the opening with the young witches, that part was very well done.
Okay but Maleficent…..had a pretty fucking dope redemption arc
Ok, the ending wasn't my favorite but I would not say they were redeemed in any way lol
@@bret_hikes7397 eh, they definitely toned it down so we like the Sanderson Sisters more. The original book isn’t from another witch, they weren’t persecuted for being women, they’re straight up evil witches that signed the devil’s book and eat children.
I'm glad Stef caught the lore of how they got book & didn't like the redemption arc they gave the Sanderson Sisters. I just wished they would've remembered the Sisters were raised in witchcraft by their mother as well. As well as kept it from becoming a redemption arc...
I don't see it as redemption just seeing that Winifred loves her family
It was nice to see the Sanderson Sisters again but I just didn't care for the kids in the movie and the storyline. The beginning of the movie made me want a Sanderson Sister prequel movie. I don't think I'll ever watch the sequel again unless someone else wants to watch it, again not terrible but nothing really interesting. There was just a certain charm the original had that this one was lacking.
There’s nobody I’d rather watch this with 🥰 this was funny anyways but you guys just absolutely MADE it 😂 thanks for creating an atmosphere with your channel that just feels like hanging out with friends 😊
Thanks Laurajayne, we really appreciate that 😁❤️ - Sam
Binx was my favourite character in the first movie. Book was my favourite character in this one.
lol @ your shock about the puritans school mascot. my high school had a native american stereotype for our mascot. a few years ago, a japanese exchange student in richland, washington made the news because she wrote an open letter to her high school talking about how painful their "atomic cloud" school mascot was. they were very proud of being the place where the plutonium for the a-bombs was mined. the actual school motto was "proud of the cloud."
I loved them both for different reasons the first one was the musicals and the new one was the jokes.
“So, this is another 29 years after the first one, right.”
Me: wait, that can’t be true. It hasn’t been that long…
Omg, it is 😂
Wow I'm currently stuck in my bed having a really bad anxiety day and this came at the perfect time... thank you!
So, we have a chocolatier at our boardwalk. And if the apples he was waiting for are like those?~ I don't blame him. Normally, I'd rather just slice an apple and dip it in caramel. But these apples typically are coated in caramel and then a layer of white chocolate and then another layer of some other topping(s)~ My favorites are either the apple pie one (cinnamon sugar crumbs) or blue raspberry (blue sugar crystals sprinkles that taste like cotton candy), but they have like a margarita one, various chocolate & nuts combos, candy bars, etc~~~ And they're massive apples, and they'll slice them for you^.^ Way better than a dinky store-bought caramel or candy apple!
Hocus Pocus 2 is worth it for that Walgreens scene alone. So fantastic. Also Steph, I respect the Darkness t-shirt. Respect. ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Im late, but I'm pretty sure the sister can't read or can't read too well. Like their parents passed away, it was American colonial times, they were girls, and they were poor. Most, if not all, of the town, couldn't read, so they might know words but don't comprehend them for the most part. Which explains why they didn't understand the spell too well lmfaoo. We love historical accuracy, even if it's never addressed explicitly 😂
Lol I 100% agree about “that” type of extrovert who can’t stop lol
Omg not the "A Thousand Miles" reference at the beginning 😂 amazing. Nice edits 👏🏼
01:01:46 This one joke made snort and loose air, i wasnt expecting that 😂
I had a love-hate relationship with the first but this one IS SO FUNNY that I think I like it more
I really wouldn’t consider it a redemption arc at the end.
Honestly my theory is that the sisters would go to Hevan as the beat form of torture. Remember, they worshiped Satan so being sent to Hell would be like a reward.
Slay they used my local Walgreens for the Walgreens scene 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Honestly, the boyfriend is my favorite of the new characters
Agreed!
Mary was SAVAGE in this movie and I loved that, lol.
Sam, is that an eagle fang karate shirt?! I LOVE IT 😄 I do mauy Thai myself 😂
It sure is haha 😁 I actually want to learn some Muay Thai, but I have so little time these days - Sam
OMG I have been waiting for you guys to react to this! I'm really sick right now so this is a nice little pick me up. Thanks guys!
I haven't watched you guys in a couple of years, but man, this feels like a comfortable blanket. Love it!
I enjoyed this sequel very much!
Stef!! I love your new look and your hair looks incredible!
Bette, Kathy & Sarah did such a great job
Really liked this one! It was funnier than the first one 😂❤
Every time I realize i've run out videos from this channel to binge, yall post a new video :)
Watching both movies as an adult now, with more critical capabilities, I do see how difficult the writing could be for both. Salem witch trials were a real thing where people did harm over fear. Yet these are stories saying withes are real and evil. It’s fascinating and understandingly complicated.
Love this! Can you guys react to the live action Scooby-Doo movies?!
We needed this!!! We've deserved this reaction!!!
I’ve probably binged all of their videos and I still do not understand the different jokes he makes in the intros.. love the channel just wish I understood haha
Aww 🥰 this commentary brought me so much joy and nostalgia!!! I hope you guys plan on doing a Peter Pan (2003) commentary for the Christmas season 🌟🌠 It's a Christmas tradition in my Family.
i thought this movie was really funny overall but imo becca and izzy still deserved more of an apology from cassie. even if the boyfriend was too stupid to get that he was making fun of becca and izzy he still was being mean to them and for cassie to date someone that makes fun of her friends is just not cool and for her not to see that she must be just as dumb as him which does seem to be the case
I think those two should apologize to Cassie, the main character was just insufferable. They literally left their friend out of their group because they couldnt share their friend like any mature person would. If they dont want to socialize thats fine, but dont get mad at your friend for literally making more friends. She came off as jelous and possesive, and honestly she was such a witch(just change that w for a b) to the boyfriend, you could tell he was literally just making conversation and didnt mean to offend them, he even invited them to the party. I only saw one bully and it was her, not the boyfriend
Oh by the way the Walgreens thing was totally an ad. i work there and during October if you bought Halloween items you could get a free poster for the movie. No one wanted them though, ended up with a huge pile of them at the end.
It actually is the head of a lover, it's just that the lover is Sarah's and not Winifred's.
Seconding another person, I’d love to see y’all react to the Addams family and the Addams family values!
I've been waiting for this reaction!
I think I would have liked it more without the plot with the younger Sanderson sisters because I thought that was the better plot out of the two. But I still loved the laughs it gave me
The part where the sisters are erased reminded me of the Zealots being erased into Dormammu in Doctor Strange
Love the video and love the Darkness T-shirt, Stef! Did you go to the show in October?
Lol the okay that’d enough for the day moment … is my life lol
Both of you without hats is tripping me out!!!
Hey guys, please read this.
I always enjoy your movie reactions. I recently rewatched "Ready Player One". I thought it was an good movie and I think you would find it interesting with all the video game references in it.
Funny, I found you guys through your reaction to the first one and subscribed right after watching it. But I just realized I was randomly unsubscribed and here I am subscribing again. Funny coincidence.
4:32 their parents are gone ⚰️🪦
I wish they had spent a little more time on Winifred's arc at the end. She should have spent time thinking she won and should have spent some time going on with her life without her sisters, celebrating at first, but then slowly realizing her life without them is incomplete. Even if it's just a montage, it would have shown her growth, and it could have been comical to see her realize how limited she was without her sisters, even after being all powerful. THEN her character missing her sisters could have felt more earned. Just my opinion.
Thanks! Happy Halloween from Minneapolis, Minnesota USA 👻🎃🕯🍬🧟♂🧙♀🐱
Thank you so much for continuing to support us 😁❤️ - Sam
Los amo, pienso exactamente igual. A las personas nunca les va a hacer suficiente las secuelas a clásicos, cualquier otra cosa no les hubiera gustado. Para mí siguió una línea, mantuvo los chistes y las actrices principales. Me encantoo! Fue una buena mezcla para ambas generaciones.
Good editionnn!!
I'm really hoping these guys react to Bodies Bodies Bodies soon. That will be hilarious and those fake idiots are hilarious!
The amok jok was a reference to the original
Shame we skipped over One way or another. Great cover of the song.
I hated the ending. Winnie should’ve gotten PISSED and UNLEASHED HER WRATH. She would feel TRICKED. Then when she got book back, he could’ve tricked her by having her read the same spell that banishes her to… wherever lol. She could even still have the same moment where she would recognize the kids as formidable and saying “value thy sisters” or something. The same message could’ve happened without them turning her into a blubbering mess. Also the pace was weird. She also went from MOURNING to JOKING about her sisters WEIRDLY quickly. It was just… off. All in all though, I did enjoy the film a lot and will watch it every year :)
Now react to "THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL"
You should do Enola Holmes 1 and 2
Yessss, thank you 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷💗💗
@the movie budz
I don’t know how to recommend movies on UA-cam except on comments so please
React to how to train your dragon
Kungfu panda
I will really love to see your reaction to it
Thanks
Book did not "choose" Beka he was protecting Winifred and the sisters. Book loved Winifred he always did his tear was was I love you mama always.
I don't like that the Sanderson Sisters lost to teenagers once again. Hahahaa
Do you have Patreon? If not you should consider getting it cause I really would like to see full reactions
UA-cam unsubbed me from yalls channel. THEM FIGHTING WORDS UA-cam. Ugh I can’t believe they would do this to me. I re-subbed but god thats so infuriating.
Also Hocus Pocus 2 should have focused on their younger selves and how they’ve come to be especially the younger days of how tortured women were if they wanted a real sympathy route.
The haircut change … looking good budz
I’m not sure why the salt was a new plot idea . In the first one they used salt ! So I’m not sure why the witches were shocked that salt could stop them?
I have all the fleshed out my own version of hocus-pocus too and I mostly wrote this when they first announced that there was going to be a second movie and so I think I went into this movie with my grand ideas and was a little disappointed at the subpar plot line. I also didn’t want the Sanderson sisters to have a redemption arc I wanted them to stay big bad.
Why is cobweb such a perfect cat name
of course, Allison uses salt against them in the original, for which they call her a "clever white which." Major plot hole for me.
Why is that a plot hole?
@@laurajaynenolan2149 because they knew that salt was a problem for them before and suddenly they're surprised by it
@@funsalmon I don’t think they were surprised by salt, it’s the fact she did magic with it.
@funsalmon I actually just commented that ! They used salt in the first one to block magic (like a barrier) and now the witches are shocked that salt works . Like uh yah - fully agree plot hole central
Guys next react to a hayao miyazaki movie- Howl's Moving Castle!
Hey try the movie Orphan or Lovely Bones?? Just a few ideas.
You guys should watch Strange Magic!
I have an issue with Gilbert both as a character and his motivations. Firstly, Gilbert is a villain. If for no other reason he brought back three which is that eat children. However, the movie does not treat him like a villain and I have a problem with that because he brought back three which is who eat children. Like all the wacky slapstick shit that happens to him I don’t care about because he should go to jail. Secondly, as a character his decision making baffles me because he has a black man decided he wanted to bring back three olden day white women which is who are known for killing people and doesn’t see why that would be a problem clearly. Thirdly, and I’m not sure if this one should be myself but like his explanation for why he wants to bring them back is dumb. It also doesn’t track again with the fact that he is a black man who is a little black child witnessed three witches blowup and then still stayed in that town. Even if his family made him stay in that town once he was old enough to leave I don’t know that many black people who wouldn’t have. And I love magical realism and suspend belief for the sake of the movie but like I just want them to acknowledge that he is a villain and that his decision making is dumb.
could yall react to 'bedazzled' with brendan fraser? i feel like it fits really well with the vibe of this channel
🖤
Loved this one
It's about time!🧙🕯️❤️
Gilbert said making the BF candle was messy so what if he made them from Ice and his minion who were trapped in the cages?
Real hot take on Hocus Pocus 2.
If y'all are still reviewing female led movies, Eve's Bayou may be a good movie to add to the list.
