Songful Style: “The Witch Doctor”
I hope all of you had an amazing Thanksgiving if you live in the US. I totally missed Final Friday because I didn’t realize Black Friday and Final Friday would coincide! I was just a skosh busy! On top of that, I also missed the last Monday of the month for Songful Style, but better late than never, right? Shelbee, Suzy, and I are also throwing a link party for Songful Style so make sure you link up! Songful Style is the brainchild of Suzy and Shelbee. They decided to play on the idea behind Style Imitating Art and apply it to music! What that means is each month, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, Suzy of The Grey Brunette, and I share looks based on a song selected by one of us. You can find us on our blogs and Instagram. Our ensembles (pun intended) may be inspired by the lyrics of a song, the artwork of the album cover, maybe the MTV video, or even a memory the song evokes. This month’s selection comes from Shelbee! It is “The Witch Doctor” by Rob Bagdasarian. So, when you go to sleep and wake up with this ear worm in your head, blame Shelbee! Last month, Suzy chose “Look What You Made Me Do” by Taylor Swift. She wanted all of the spooky vibes this song gave. I must admit I had lots of fun with that one! You can see it here.

Reviews for "Analyzing the Mythology and Folklore in 'Charmed: Something Wicca This Way Comes"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to start watching "Charmed" since I'm a big fan of supernatural shows, but the pilot episode, "Something Wicca This Way Comes," left me disappointed. The storyline felt rushed, and the acting was quite mediocre. The special effects were also very outdated, making it difficult for me to immerse myself in the world of the show. Overall, I found the episode to be lacking in substance and failed to captivate me.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - "Charmed" has been highly recommended to me by many people, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the pilot episode, "Something Wicca This Way Comes," was a complete letdown. The plot felt cliché and predictable, lacking any originality. The acting was stiff and unconvincing, making it hard for me to connect with the characters. Additionally, the dialogue was cheesy and cringe-worthy. I am reluctant to continue watching the series after such a lackluster start.
3. Amanda - 2/5 stars - I had heard great things about "Charmed," but the first episode, "Something Wicca This Way Comes," didn't live up to the hype for me. The writing felt weak, and the pacing was off, making it difficult for me to stay engaged. The characters lacked depth, and their actions often felt forced or unrealistic. I was hoping for a more compelling introduction to the series, but sadly, this episode fell short of my expectations. I'm willing to give it another chance, but this episode didn't leave me eager for more.
