HOCUS POCUS - An Unauthorised, Unrehearsed, LIVE Reading 

"You guys wanna play zip zap zop before we start?" theater in 10 words.

okay but jaime was m a d e for this role

Jamie saying tgwdlm but only if they play different characters is genius. Just draw roles from a hat. Give us Robert singing not your seed or Mariah singing let it out or Lauren singing what do you want paul-

ok hear me out: bee movie

Jaime Lyn Beatty is the only person I will accept as Winnifred Sanderson in any new Hocus Pocus remake.

Me - “It’s not live.”..... but it’s live

The fact that Angela owns the Bee movie script shirt. Iconic

Ok but like let’s luck past all of these repeated suggestions- Shark Boy and Lava Girl. No questions needed.

I hope the trend of Jeff playing a character that whines "man" while being tortured continues

During the chat everyone was spamming let’s eat Jemilla and I am so proud I witnessed it

Jeff as the bus driver is truly iconic

I mean holy shit, Angela is bringing straight up Bellatrix vibes and I'm so here for her. The next Helena Bonham Carter?

PSA: Please stop being so rude, personal, and invading on the live chats. It’s so rude, none of _anyone’s_ business, and unneeded for anyone and everyone to know _any_ of the Starkid’s sexualities, relationship status, and any and _everything_ in between. The Starkids are beautiful people who do _not_ deserve such pushy and crude comments, it’s _not fair_ to them. It’s not fair to _ANYONE._ _Please, spread the word, and get people to stop!_ There’s _no_ justifying it! It’s _not_ okay! Whatsoever! Thank you. (The livestream was marvelous, I’m not trying to take away from that, it’s just that this is important information to know. The Starkids crushed it, just like they did with scream!)

can we say "thank you robert" for finally giving our queen jaime lynn beatty a lead role??

When this was announced, I didn't even want to try to guess who would play who; everyone in the cast is insanely talented enough to play any of the characters (though Jaime, Angela and Lauren are definitely the Sanderson Sisters pairing the world needed in 2020), so the final cast turned out marvelous.

Nick Lang is a treasure

Okay but like hear me out: Jeff Blim the bus driver is one of the best characters in this reading I will not be taking criticism

Nick is so undeniably adorable in this and i can’t handle it

Beetlejuice next!? Jeff is Beetlejuice, Lauren is Lydia, Jamie is Delia

Everyone literally hiding out of the frame Jeff: FIGHT CLUB?

These people need so much more recognition, they’re insanely good.

John wearing his suit jacket from his Elmo Keep Venus Please video is the best thing I’ve seen all day like what a power move gotta love him

I love how Joey is so insistent on putting that jacket on Lauren’s shoulders and she keeps smacking him 😂

nick looks absolutely adorable

Jaime, Angela, and Lauren as the Sanderson sisters is the most inspired casting decision ever made and shows off all their skills SO well. I can't stop imagining a Mary Poppins movie reading with Jaime as Mary, Angela as Mrs Banks, and Lauren as Jane 😍

WAIT HEAR ME OUT They do a reading of mean girls and mariah plays regina Or even better, everyone else plays regina simultaneously and mariah plays every other character

Jaime's acting was FANTASTIC. PLEASE cast her as a villain in a starkid show

Are we not gonna talk about how Jaimie just killed it as Winnifred Sanderson when she sang "I put a spell on you"?

If they did “Bee Movie”, that would be such a fever dream. I’ve only seen it twice and it’s just as bad both times. I think it’s a “cult” following because it’s so weird and has some problematic humour but it’s targeted for kids.

1:15:30 Nick and his cat... OMG SO CUTE. "Forever and ever and ever"

okay sorry for spamming the comments. Jamie singing was absolutely TOP CLASS. I loved this stream so much. Please do Charlie and the chocolate factory next

you can tell jaime has been waiting for this moment her entire life

Nick Lang as Dani is something I never knew I needed until now 😂💞

Can you do a reading of high school musical. Just for fun.

nick didn't have to snap with his outfit like that

my favourite parts so i have them for later :) 3:13 Lauren’s outfit has me rollingggg 4:07 “is that your house Jon?” “Yeah, its where i grew up” this had no right being this funny 4:38 hi! wowie it is 😅 9:50 “nay” lmfao ily corey 11:08 I audibly snorted with laughter when the camera flicked to Lauren I’m literally crying she cracks me uppp 18:44 Joey trying to cover Lauren up lmfao 20:32 Mariah, Jeff and Corey are losing it and it’s making me laugh so hard 28:45 Nick as Dani (?) is so funny I literally love nick 33:06 did the ‘nnnnow’ sound a bit like mama umbridge to anyone else haha 35:53 yaboz? HAHAHA 43:48 Mariah is losing it lmao 52:43 ‘that was in the trailer’ haha 53:20 Joey really went full send he actually put the lighter on it HAHA 💀 53:36 ‘oh Jaime nice!’ THE DEDICATION HAHA ANGELA HAS A WHOLE GUITARR 55:36 Lauren and Joey both got whiplash LMFAOO from Diane barking 59:32 ‘Jeff blim’ 1:03:56 Lauren I love you 1:08:04 YES A SONG ILY JAMIE 1:09:59 that note omg 1:13:25 ‘Dani is like 8 years old’ Also Lauren dying is such a mood 1:16:46 Lauren has me in tearsss 1:23:04 Lauren again- im cryingggg 1:24:00 NO WAYYY LAUREN IS SINGING I CANT TAKE THIS I LOVE HER SO MUCH 1:35:26 is it just me or is Nick Lang very adorable in this 1:37:40 Lauren LMFAO “Winnie! Goodbye.” 1:39:02 Nick has me crying in the club

they do a TON of work for these streams and some of y'all are straight up disrespectful in these chats smh Robert and crew, THANK you guys SO MUCH for this, these have been such a blast to watch

THEY ARE ALL SO UNBELIEVABLY PERFECT FOR THEIR ROLES

“Mom can we get Disney +?” “We have Disney + at home” Disney + at home: “Woah this is better than the original!”

I vote that Robert re-writes the horrible Percy Jackson related movies (we don't associate them with the books) with the help of the musical

Angela going "BYE BYE LIFE" made me die

I don’t even know what we did to deserve Jamie

manifesting the next reading to be rocky horror

53:24 “it’s protected by magic” gave me “it’s stuck on there with magic” vibes 😂

jaime killed this also i can 100% see her playing effie trinket in the hunger games

Joey’s face while they’re just listing off movies and he’s trying to be like “We can do this when we’re not live...” cracks me up

I'm sorry but Mariah giggling almost everytime Angela speaks is too cute I simply cannot

I want them to do Scooby Doo and have Mariah as Daphne, Angela as Velma, Joey as Fred, Nick as Scooby, and Robert as Shaggy.

I dont need to watch the original now, this is me sorted

The next one should be CLUE! CLUE! CLUE! Think about it. The comedy, the ensemble, the props. It would be hilarious!!!!

18:40 Rob, honey, you didn't have to go that hard but I'm glad you did

01:09:48 please look at robert 01:10:00 please look at jon and mariah you're welcome

I’ve never seen Hocus Pocus before, but this is definitely the best way I could have experienced it

I was going to be so upset if Jamie didn’t sing I Put A Spell On You

Nick Lang's cat is my favourite part of this whole livestream. It was so tolerant

Valentine looks so _pissed_ everytime Nick picks her up lol

Let’s be honest Jeff kinda looks like Jesus

1:08:07 you're welcome.

I'd like to see Corey in a bigger role next time. PLEASE

No one: Me in my head whenever Jamie says it: *sis-TUUUUUUUHHHRS!*

I want a sequel to Hocus Pocus which is 40 years in the future and Max is still a virgin

i wish during jamies song we could see everyones visual reactions because the audio reactions were great

Thank you Robert for doing this. It was a fun livestream and staying after the stream for hours in chat was great fun. I mean we went through some great songs and talked about so many things. It was also hilarious that it took over an hour for the number of watchers to go below 300. Have fun and remember, #Robertiswatchingus

I forgot that Mariah Rose Faith has been in these and I was about to suggest Mean Girls 😂 but like 👀

Ok but if you do inside out Can Jeff please be Joy?

This is just proof Angela and Mariah are the same person

If anyone wants to actually watch a livestream reading of Clue or Princess Bride, Shipwrecked have done both! Clue is available to all Shipwrecked patrons (as little as a dollar!!) and Princess Bride is available for some patrons of Mary Kate Wiles. They're so good go watch!!

I love how after they finished, Matt is just in the background giggling and occasionally plays a relaxant tune on the piano. Made me giggle

here is where I request a starkid hocus pocus parody musical with this exact cast thank you

ok but jon as the narrator is what I live for

no one: jeff: wHaT aBoUt FiGhT cLuB

I keep thinking about how Jon and Robert are probably just in separate rooms and can probably hear one another and I love it 😂

I love that Joey and Jeff have just given up on shaving 😹

Megamind with Jeff as Megamind, Robert as Metroman, Joey as Hal/Tighten, Lauren as Roxanne Ritchie, and Jon as Minion.

PRINCESS BRIDE PLEASE Joey as Westley Mariah as Buttercup Jeff as Vizzini and Prince Humperdinck Corey as Fezzik and Count Rugen Robert as Inigo Jon as Grandpa/narrator and The King Nick as Grandson and Miracle Max Angela as Valerie and Yellin Lauren as Mother and The Queen Jaime as The Albino and that townswoman who yells at Buttercup There’s basically already narration in it come _ON_ Robert please!!

this was fun, thank y'all special people who stayed for like five hours lmao

I'm going to tell my children these were the originals

Anyone else from the UK who stayed up for the entire stream, i applaud you. I made it until the end of the reading and about 5 minutes into the questions. It’s better then what I managed for scream which was about 20 minutes until i fell asleep.

🗣 Do the Princess Bride and bring Jim Povolo to play Andre the Giant’s character

I vote Daddy Daycare. (Edit: Several minutes later Angela suggested it, too. I'm psychic!)

the way joey kept moving laurens top up her shoulder when it kept falling down 🥺

2:29:39 the cap is off!! I repeat The cap is off!! It's a miracle!

I've never seen this movie and I'm really glad this was my first exposure to it. Also you guys should 100% do Harry Potter

if yall did princess bride it would make me so happy

“Hello, my name is John and I’ll be reading the stage directions.” *Of course you are Paul, OF COURSE YOU ARE*

This was great, but Jamie was especially fantastic! She was born to play this role! She could seriously have played this role at Disney, or if it went to Broadway! Well done! Everything from the voice, to the hair, to the facial expressions were spot on!

No one's talking about how comforting Matt's 'Come Little Children' is and that's upsetting

Jamie killed it like always but oh my god she is a goddess😭😭 also nick Lang as Dani is so fucking cute, his lil witch costume i die🥺🥺

When Nick is holding the cat, omg... He's so cute!!

This is all extremely perfect casting

Okay, but how well cast is Nick goddamn Lang in this though!?

Loved this! Everyone did so well and this is a fun idea. I was really excited to hear you all bring up Coraline for a moment too, it's one of my favorite movies, but I'm excited to see anything you choose next and I hope everyone's quarantine is going well!

Well this was fun! Thanks to Robert for setting it up and also for the people that stayed after the stream finished chatting for ages. #starkidiswatchingus

"Corey knows how to speak his truth... sometimes to his detriment." Damn, say it Jamie!

roberts face the entire time is just joy im so in love right now pure artist

Jamie is killing this role. Incredible range.

I love angela's accent 🥺 *edit* robert's bogan aussie accent i love it-

1:24:23 Lauren sings the 'come little children' song ALSO they should do the hunchback of the Notre Damme

Can we please see this as a full blown musical? Like legit I want to see this fully produced with songs and choreography. You guys are perfect for this

For whoever asked near the end: on brizzy voices and tessa nettings podcast, Lauren said she was a hufflepuff
