What We Think

Teen Witch is about as non-woke as you get, a harmless 80s romp with simple morals and no ideological fuss. Woke dial barely moves.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Teen Witch plays it straight as a light-hearted teen comedy with magical elements. Identity factors like race and gender don't disrupt the story, and most characters display a mix of strengths and flaws. The focus is on charm, awkwardness, and fitting in, not forced representation or unchecked empowerment.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film lightly teases tradition but doesn't tear down family, religion, masculinity, or moral norms. Main characters deal with typical teenage insecurities and relationships, without subverting gender roles or rewriting culture, just classic coming-of-age hiccups and a dash of 80s camp.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

‘Teen Witch’ sticks comfortably in its 80s lane. There’s no soapboxing or ideological browbeating, and it doesn’t seem to villainize alternative perspectives. It’s your standard, cheesy, pluralistic high school experience, albeit with spells and questionable rap scenes.
