About this episode
Mark is joined by the mystical and magical Sabrina Santoro to discuss major movies in their lives: The Craft and Twister! The 90s thrillers about the dark side of Mother Nature turn 25 years old this month, and you may not immediately think they have much in common, but they do: terrifying CGI, great soundtracks, grieving heroines, connections to the Wizard of Oz, and more. Plus, Mark loved these movies so much, he brought candles to elementary school and wrote a Twister remake script starring his teachers.
