In the world of mysticism there is “magic” and there are “illusions.” You know, the real deal of bending demonic forces to your whim versus smoke and mirrors stuff. What Orifice Jones does compared to Hakuna Matitties magical stylings, to put it another way.

But in the Jemisphere, those lines be super blurred, because every magician out there can break the laws of physics and shoot magical beams of energy out their holes. Oh, and they all live on some communal floating-island-orgy-space called “Magic Island,” a truly original moniker.

This discussion of the metaphysics of magic is actually relevant; “Music is Magic” is all about the Holograms (and Misfits) taking part in a magic show when things start to go awry. Magically awry, that is.

Don’t let the basic plot fool you: This episode of Jem is unlike most (if not all?) of the others. It’s actually pretty good. Never thought we’d say this about an episode of Jem and the Holograms but our boy Da’Knee the G (Paul Dini if you’re feeling nasty) really did the scripting thing on this one.

So bust out your wands! Adjust your wide-brimmed witch hats! Roll up those floppy wizard’s sleeves! And ride that broomstick right into a magical realm filled with entertaining conversation and smooth audio sounds that can only be accessed by listening to the latest episode of the Jem Girls Podcast.
