Practical Magic (25th anniversary)

Practical Magic (25th anniversary)

What can we learn from those who have battled addiction? Wesley Geer, known for his role in Korn and as the founder of Rock to Recovery, brings a unique twist to his podcast episode by merging the world of music with the mystical allure of 'Practical Magic.' Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the episode invites Sabrina Santoro to reminisce about this beloved film.

The discussion is peppered with fun facts about the movie's creation, including how Barbra Streisand wanted to buy the iconic Owens house, only to find it was just a shell. The conversation takes a whimsical turn as Sabrina shares her personal 'grimoire,' a Beauty and the Beast notebook filled with manifestations rather than spells.

Listeners are treated to anecdotes about the film's production, like the real tequila consumed during the midnight margarita scene, and the unexpected curse placed on the film by a consultant witch. The episode captures the essence of 'Practical Magic' as more than just a film; it's a cultural touchstone that combines romance, comedy, and a touch of horror, all wrapped in a soundtrack featuring legends like Stevie Nicks.

Sabrina and Wesley's banter brings out the charm of the film's characters, from Sandra Bullock's grounded Sally to Nicole Kidman's wild Jillian. They explore themes of sisterhood, empowerment, and self-discovery, making it clear why this movie continues to enchant audiences. So, if you're ready to stir up some nostalgia and perhaps learn a bit about how magic can mirror real-life transformations, this episode is your perfect potion.
