This week, we're looking to magic to lift spirits and end this terrible year. Our picks have literal and metaphorical spells, along with other types of witchery.

Plus, Erin and Amy develop the haunted house for 2020, complete with news tickers, Goop eggs, and jack-in-the-boxes with terrifying refrains.

If you haven't had the pleasure, watch this video for the mehhhh noise that exemplifies 2020.

And listen to "I Put a Spell on You," the song from Nina Simone that inspired this week's episode.\\xa0
