About the episode
This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron revisit Bewitched (2005), the big-screen adaptation of the beloved 1960s sitcom. Starring Nicole Kidman and peak-era Will Ferrell, the film opts for a meta “show-within-a-show” premise that never fully commits to being a rom-com, a satire of Hollywood, or a straightforward comedy. Directed by Nora Ephron and packed with an overqualified supporting cast, Bewitched isn’t aggressively bad—it’s just strangely flat, hesitant, and uninterested in letting its funniest actor actually be funny.
