For our Gaslight/Gatekeep/Girlboss finale, we're paying tribute to our Rotten Queen Sandra Bullock and two of her most unhinged romantic comedies. First up it's the 90's sleepover cult favorite "Practical Magic" directed by Griffin Dunne (yes, that Griffin Dunnen), featuring Bullock and Nicole Kidman in purple shades as a pair of witchy sisters who use their powers to find love and murder a Bulgarian cowboy (twice). After that, it's Bullock's oft-forgotten pairing with Ben Affleck in "Forces of Nature." Directed like a Danny Boyle trip-hop video by Bronwen Hughes, the rom-com update of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" saw Bullock as a free spirited party girl on an unexpected road trip with Affleck as a straight-laced husband-to-be.
Jean Yannarell joins us to unpack Bullock's late 90's run and why "Practical Magic" makes up at least 42% of her personality today. Have two studio comedies ever been so beautifully or daringly photographed? Did "Practical Magic's" jarring tonal shifts throw off critics and audiences at the time? Was Affleck fatally miscast in "Forces?" Has any actor-turned-director ever had a weirder filmography than Griffin Dunne? Does anybody remember Bran Van 3000? And can anyone ever replicate the magic of Sandra Bullock? Find out right here on our Gaslight/Gatekeep/Girlboss miniseries finale.
