Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Chapters 18 & 19: Nick’s Down Bad

We’re almost at the end of Part 2 as Sabrina gets godlike powers and sends herself crashing back down to earth. We discuss the Phoenix parallels (both the mythical being and X-men character), Nick being down bad, the under explored potential of mortals living with witches, the hierarchy of the witch world, Hilda’s (literal) body count and the mandrakes embodiment of Sabrina.

We’ll watch just the Part 2 finale next week to close out the spooky season!
