In this PART 1, we unravel our favorite film and book(s) to learn all about the different views these characters have relating to sex. We jump back in time to history's first empowering slut LILITH, as well as Inanna, Ishtar and Ereshkigal. Then we slide into ADAM and EVE's DMs and talk about the fall of Eden, the W ..read more

"Not without my Tiger's Eye!" What do you do when there's a "Blood on the Moon?" You grab your Tiger's Eye of course, that is if you haven't misplaced it! In this week's episode, The Stinas unravel new theories regarding Gillian's Tiger's Eye - the only crystal acknowledged in the Practical Magic film. We'll explore the possible answers to our burning questions: Why was it only in just a few scenes? Was Gillian only wearing it to keep Jimmy's power at bay? Why does it disappear after Jimmy's is dead and buried? Where did it even go? And were these all conscious decisions made by the writers of ..read more

"Get the bird..." This week we're talking about DOVES! Did you know that before Doves were synonymous with peace, they were sacred to Aphrodite and the ways of amore? Perhaps this is why the Owens Aunts utilize these small birds when love-lorn women come knocking at the back porch door to the Magnolia Street house, searching for a love spell.

This week Kristina gets stuck in some kind of accent while we explore the beautiful and haunting illustrations of Monsieur Gustave Doré.

Michael Nyman is an English "Minimalist" composer who was hired to compose the score for the film Practical Magic. However, just before the film's release in theaters his score was ultimately scrapped and replaced by the score as we now know it by Alan Silvestri. The original pressings of the Warner's soundtrack CD featured two cues from Nyman's rejected score. When he was replaced by Alan Silvestri, the soundtrack was re-pressed and Nyman's cues were replaced by two (shorter) Silvestri cues. In today's episode, The Stinas not only discuss this composition kerfuffle, they also deep dive on th ..read more
