Teen Witch is a movie that we probably should have seen before. But Somehow it only existed in internet clips of teen girls rapping some hilariously dated lyrics. But we are solving that problem this week. Does it hold up? Will our kids enjoy this time capsule of a film? Tune in to find out.
Spoiler, we did enjoy it.
Its not the best movie, its pretty much a Disney channel level kids movie with some weird jokes that you could only get away with in the late 80’s. But its got charm and it doesn’t try to be anything its not. Cant fault that.

Teen Witch is a 1989 American teen fantasy comedy film directed by Dorian Walker, written by Robin Menken and Vernon Zimmerman, and starring Robyn Lively and Zelda Rubinstein. The plot follows Louise, a teenage girl who discovers she is a witch and gains powers on her 16th birthday.
Originally pitched as a female version of Teen Wolf (1985), it was later reworked into a standalone spin-off film of its own. The film features numerous impromptu musical numbers, including rap sequences, and has since become a cult classic,[1][2] aided by midnight theater showings and regular cable television airings (including through annual showings as part of ABC Family/Freeform's 13 Nights of Halloween). The film is also popular for its music and 1980s fashion nostalgia.[1]
