    Practical Magic

    This episode we look at the cult classic movie Practical Magic, directed by Griffin Dunne in 1998, and the novel it was based on by Alice Hoffman. Yes, there are plenty of themes to discuss, such as love, fate, and the bonds of sisterhood, but more importantly we have to talk about Midnight MargaritasTM, phone trees, throwing syrup, and holding onto your husbands (girls!)

    The Princess Diaries

    This episode we go back to an early 2000's Disney hit, The Princess Diaries, directed by Garry Marshall, and based on the novel by Meg Cabot! This film showcases the talents of film royalty Julie Andrews and the fresh talent that was Anne Hathaway, but the silly and sweet tone of the film a significant departure from the novel, which doesn't shy away from all of the frustrations and drama you would expect from a young teenager circa 2000. Both have their own distinct sense of humor, but which one will we prefer?
