In this special Halloween episode of the Black Girl Charmed podcast, Rae and Nelle re-rewatch the Charmed classic "All Halliwell's Eve." The girls revisit their first impressions of the episode and uncover new insights on the Halliwell's relationship with Darryl, the need for Black hairstylists on set, and pop culture.
This time, Rae's the tipsy one steering the show into chaos, while Nelle delves into the dark historical roots of Phoebe Halliwell's protest and gives a Halliwell-Kardashian hottake to avoid the feelings the episode stirred up.
Editor's note: Hanging was the execution method for accused witches in Salem, but burning at the stake is more typically linked to witch trials overall.
Happy Halloween from your favorite two unmedicated weirdos!
