Trial Royale: The Witch Trials, Round 3—Final Round

Dave and Neil are joined by the author of ‘The Witching Year: A Memoir of Earnest Fumbling Through Modern Witchcraft,’ Diana Helmuth for the final round of The Witch Trials! In this multi-week series, they’re debating the best witch movie. They start by talking about Diana’s book, the portrayal of witches in movies, and what she thinks about some of the movies they’ve talked about so far (10:08). Then they discuss some movies that missed out on the bracket (44:00), and, finally, debate which movie should win the final poll (1:11:19).

Now it’s up to you to decide! What is the best witch movie? You can vote for the winner at ⁠TheRinger.com⁠, on The Ringer’s X feed, and in the Spotify app, where you’ll find ‘Trial by Content.’ The winner will be announced on the next episode!

You can send your picks for the next topic and a few sentences to support your pick to ⁠TrialByContent@gmail.com⁠. You can also submit suggestions for future ‘Trial by Content’ topics. Is there a great pop culture debate that you’d like us to settle? Send it on over!
