Practical Magic is just as good as I remember

Welcome back to One Woman's Trash, where every week I, Natalie, take a look at the movies and pop culture perceived to be trash and decide if they're actually total garbage or a hidden treasure!

This week, we are jumping off our roofs straight into the 1998 classic Practical Magic! Despite sitting at a shocking 29% on Rotten Tomatoes, we break down why this beloved film is an absolute treasure. We dive into its wild genre-bending shift from rom-com to dark sisterhood horror, the way male characters are used as narrative accessories rather than the focal point, and how its exploration of generational trauma, town gossip, and women reclaiming their power still resonates today. Plus, I share why that chaotic trailer completely misrepresents the core story, a hilarious piece of set trivia involving a real witch's curse, and why midnight margaritas will forever be iconic.

Before the main event, we jump into this week's Trash & Treasure:
