Movie Review: The Craft: Legacy
This week on End Credits we’ve got politics and magic! As the United States recovers from their election, we will take a look at the pop culture presidents we wish we had and the ones we’re glad we didn’t have. For the magic, we’ll be reviewing the new legacy sequel of a 90s classic about the self-described weirdos who made spells in school cool before Harry Potter.
