From Mamma Mia, welcome to the spill, your daily pop culture fix. I'm Laura Brodnick. And I'm Emma M. And welcome to the moment you've all been waiting for. I mean, surely you guys have been waiting for this. We've been talking about this movie for such a long time. It is our brutally honest review of Practical Magic 2. So you've the lime coconut song.
I dance like them too, don't I? You do. I mean that obviously that's from the first movie, but that is still going. And then they start fighting. Well, obviously. Did we just do a really honest review of the first movie? I mean, so many people messaged me about that. And guys, we will try and swing. We will right now. We will right now. Double episode, no one's approved this. No one said yes to it. No, we'll we we'll weave in some stuff about the first movie into this one too. I've rewatched Practical Magic, which is obviously the movie starring Nicole Kimman and Sandra Bullock, which came out in 1998. I've seen it a I've seen it upwards of fifty times. I'm gonna say a thousand, but that's clearly an exaggeration.
But fifty times over twenty-eight years is not It's a lot. So the twenty No, I think it's the correct amount.
So you watched it more than like Over the year.
Yeah. No, no, because there were a few years there when I was a twin watching. You know when you're a twin you and you get obsessed with a movie. This is like pre-having like um like social to scroll on. Yeah. You get obsessed with a movie and so you could watch it like every week for a couple of months or watch it twice in a day. That was me
with um Sound of Music, but that's not because that's the only DVD my nana had for a long time.
Hey, but also what a great movie. What a
great and um Embr and Prisoner Groove.
Oh, Emperor's New Groove, a classic. I was about to say we should check, just sorry guys, we'll just do a bit of housekeeping between ourselves. We should check when the um anniversary date of sound of music is because how good would that brilliant review be? So good. So good. But anyway, a a conversation for a different day. Because today we're here to talk about practical magic too. So anyway, my whole point of that tangent was to say that I rewatched it recently before I watched Practical Magic 2 and before. Yeah, we did. Did you have the best time? I lit so many candles. Oh, I should have done that. I lit I had like about it's like twelve candles going. I l I like
The movie itself, like, physically is darker than this second one.
Oh, like the first movie. Yeah, like I don't think it was
like it was barely daytime. Yeah, yeah, from a
lighting perspective. Yeah. So a few times I was like, Oh, watching this movie in the dark is actually the way to go. And the yeah, the point of that to say is like that movie holds up to me as a longtime fan. I almost like as an adult see so much of it that I like better. As a as a kid, like a lot of it went over my head. Yeah. As an adult, I can f a hundred percent see it for the masterpiece it is.
Yeah. Ah my god, I love that movie. But I do remember like the first time I watched it. Um I didn't expect it to be that scary. Oh yeah.
Yeah.
There's a bad bad guy. Yeah, and they're worse than the bad guy in this movie. And there's
definitely some creepy like there's a moment where they just hold a bird up and stab it through the heart. Like it had to die for the spell. But yeah. But that's that's witchcraft, hey.
Bird sacrifice.
You gotta give something to get something. And that's what we learn from witchcraft movies. I wonder that
from the Odyssey.
