    I *love* how Avaryl made sense of the uncles and Casper not looking very much like themselves when they were alive.
    The theory that the longer you’re deceased/a ghost, the less you resemble your living self is pretty fucking brilliant. (Even though I highly doubt anyone involved in the film thought it through that far! Hahaha.)

    After watching Capser meets Wendy as a kid, I used to believe I was a witch too and had an invisible ghost friend named Casper. What girl doesn't look back at her witch phase fondly.

    I had this movie on VHS and watched it soooo many times! Christina Ricci and Thora Birch are my favorite young actors from the 90s and I remember being sooo happy they both were in Now and Then.

    As a long time fan, I have to say that I have never felt more in sync with Avaryl as I did watching this video. I've been obsessed with Christina Ricci since I was 5 years old and saw her as Wednesday Addams for the first time. Casper is one of my all-time favorite movies, so much so that I have a "Can I Keep You?" tattoo. Avaryl, I'm so happy to know there is another die hard Ricci fan out there and seeing you reference Now and Then and Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain made my whole day! I am so happy that you guys chose to do this!

    I remember going to the cinema to see that film. I feel like the nineties had a few gems like this, ie kids movies that combined spooky elements, celebrated odd kids without being too obvious about what set them apart from other children, were both entertaining and clever. The atmosphere and tone in Casper are brilliantly constructed and suck you in within minutes of film.

  • @BRANDIRENEBBY
    @BRANDIRENEBBY 5 років тому +4

    I couldn’t adore this episode more 😍 Casper was my favorite movie as a child and I insisted on watching it over and over and over again. I went through more than one Casper VHS. It was such a struggle for my poor mother to explain to me that I wouldn’t be able to watch it around some other children because it scared them. I couldn’t accept that. 😅

    1) I was about ready to slap Andrew for not knowing Eric Idle, but thankfully he pulled through in the end
    2) Andrew *definitely* needs to watch Animaniacs. It is a cornerstone of my sense of humor. And as I’ve gotten older I’ve only related to Slappy Squirrel more and more.
    I’m loving the choices for this Shocktober so far! Keep it up!

    Although I haven't yet seen this movie, I grew up when the "Casper" cartoon was a literal fixture on TV. I can still vividly remember all the lyrics to the theme song 🎵, and actually had a somewhat huge white terrycloth-covered talking doll. You just pulled the string sticking out of his back, and the cartoon voice uttered 10 different things. White terrycloth gets really filthy really easily, but because of the hard plastic talking mechanism, it could not be washed. So "Casper" sort of became an Hispanic ghost...
