Practical Magic 2 — The mental health benefits of watching spooky movies with your besties

Let's have another round of midnight margaritas, shall we?

In this spoiler-free episode, I explore Practical Magic 2 (2026) and the mental health benefits of watching spooky movies with your besties. 

I talk about:

• What Practical Magic 2 means to a generation of fans who love the original 
• How PG horror movies make the genre more inclusive
• The mental health benefits of bonding with co-viewers
• How horror movies are also an opportunity to bond and regulate through physical touch
• The importance of fan tribute movies
• How the 3 of cups tarot card portrays the spirit of gathering and celebration embodied by Practical Magic 2
