  • Episode 143: The Craft (1996) // Oh, he's sorry, he's sorry, he's sorry, he's sorry...
    Oct 28 2024

    In this spellbinding episode of Back in the Day with John and Jay, we revisit The Craft, the 1996 cult classic that brought witchcraft and teenage rebellion to the big screen. Join us as we delve into the film’s edgy portrayal of high school life, friendship, and the darker side of magic, celebrating The Craft as an iconic staple of ‘90s cinema.

    We break down the story of Sarah, a new student with a mysterious past, who finds herself entangled with a coven of misfit teens exploring the supernatural. Together, we discuss each of the main characters, the unforgettable performances (especially Fairuza Balk's powerful turn as Nancy), and the film's unique blend of horror and teen drama that continues to resonate today.

    Is The Craft just as bewitching as it was back in the ‘90s? Does it still cast a spell over audiences nearly three decades later? Tune in as we talk about the film’s enduring legacy, memorable scenes, and the potent themes that make it much more than your average teen flick.
