In this episode, The Stinas dive deep into the life and work of legendary composer Alan Silvestri, with a special focus on his enchanting Practical Magic film score. They discuss the behind-the-scenes drama of Silvestri stepping in to replace Michael Nyman’s lost score—was it just a business decision, or does some lingering resentment still haunt the halls of Hollywood?

As a follow-up to Season 2, Episode 57 on Michael Nyman, this episode explores the twist of fate that led Silvestri to film scoring—despite having no prior experience—and the phone call that changed his career forever. The Stinas also take a detour into the unexpected: Silvestri’s winery! Who knew the man behind some of cinema’s most iconic themes also had such a passion for fine wine?

But that’s not all—expect some fun surprises, including an AI-generated fan fiction segment and another epic rap battle showdown. Plus, The Stinas open up about their own imposter syndrome and why Silvestri’s journey is proof that sometimes, the magic finds you.

Grab your margaritas (or a glass of Silvestri’s best vino), and let’s get into it! 🍷🎶✨

Welcome Hellhounds! In today's episode, we step into the shadowy world of the black dog—a figure both feared and revered in folklore, magick, and music. From the spectral hounds of British legends to the symbol of depression and fate, we unravel the deeper meanings behind this haunting archetype.

We'll then analyze the Black Dog in the film - was it there to warn Michael of his impending doom? Or was it the grim reaper coming to collect his soul? And was Michael himself, the Black Dog? We'll also take a look at Michael's fashion choices which could be subtle nods to his destiny! Was he in fact a sacrifice the aunts made to the gods of the Owens curse? This leads us to the connection the Black Dog also has to the Resurrection scene and the crossroads deity Hekate (Mighty Hectate Make it Right!)

We’ll also take a closer look at Nick Drake’s chilling song Black Eyed Dog—a track steeped in mystery, sorrow, and the inescapable pull of mortality. Was Drake drawing from the ancient legends of black dogs as omens of death? Or was he channeling the metaphor Winston Churchill once used to describe his own battle with depression?

Light a candle, settle in, and keep watch—because once the black dog comes calling, it’s hard to ignore!
