Welcome to Episode 8 of Season 2 of Adapted with Anna and Sam! In this episode, Anna and Sam invite you to experience all your childhood traumas again and again as they discuss The Witches, by Roald Dahl, and the 1990 movie adaptation starring Anjelica Huston and Mai Zetterling. Listen in as our hosts stray from the topic of the day more than once, maybe even more than twice, but it's purely a defense mechanism as they (okay, maybe just Sam) try not to dwell on the Grand High Witch in all her "glory." You can find all the cast lists and other fun trivia on iMDB. Purchase the book and/or movies at Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble, or your favorite indie bookstore, or borrow from your local library in person or via Overdrive.
