Upside-Down Magic (2020)
Whoops! Sorry we were a little late on this one, hope it didn’t turn your world upside-down or anything. Then again, I kind of hope we did because this episode is about everything upside-down! That’s right we are going back to Modern Movie May (in June?) for Upside-Down Magic. So join us as we enter a magical world…I think? Like, it’s not super clear how magical the world actually is or how much people know about it. Also the “magic” isn’t so much like spells and is more like superpowers? I understand that doesn’t sound THAT enticing, but it’s mostly more than the sum of its parts.
Lucas nails his kitten impression and stans his man Skriff.
Emma can’t stand Reina and accuses a character of Naszism.
