Aunt Jet

So yeah, we have the movie starts and like I said, they're like, oh, remember that curse we said that was broken in the first film? Well, guess what? Still a thing.

And now we find out that Aunt Jet played by Diane, the beautiful Diane Wiest, who, you know, as far as I saw, was the only woman who was allowed to exist without Botox on her face.

Well, I thought Stockard Channing looked great, too.

She's had work done.

But I'm just like, if she's so powerful, why have people got to work?

Yeah, I don't know.

And then it's weird that like that's another plot hole to like the aunties, you know, Aunt Jet and what is it, Francis? Yeah.

Yeah.

And then that person does die in some way.

Unfortunately, the death beetle has started chirping for Sally and Jillian's Aunt Jet.

And so she's realized that her time is up.

And before, she's just found a text that has called to her.

But rather than a traditional brood love portion, they use love spells and conjuring rituals.

Early in the story, Aunt Frances, played by Stockard Channing, and Aunt Jet, played by Diane Wiest, help a desperate townswoman perform a dark and obsessive love spell, which involves a ritual with a bird to make a man lover.

Now if you haven't watched the movie, can you guess what bird was used to cast the spell? If you guessed a raven or a crow, you're wrong.

The bird was a dove, and it makes sense to use a dove because a dove symbolizes peace and love.

And you can find that recipe online.

Not my kind of poison.

Now, in the original, Sally, Jillian, Aunt Frances and Aunt Jet get tipsy and dance around the kitchen to Harry Nilsson's song, Coconut, while sipping on this drink.

This became one of the most iconic pop culture moments of the movie.

It was I felt like the movie was I mean, I sobbed multiple times reading the book and it was funny because spoilers.

But in the book, like when Aunt Jet dies in the beginning, it was like, oh, that sucks.

Jet's going to die right away.

And I was like, I'm not sad or whatever.

yeah it's way more developed so when it

happens you're like yeah okay i could see that twist coming sort of but i don't know there's something rushed about that arc too i think at the end of the day this whole movie just feels like a rushed to to the end it does sort of thing

yeah which is funny because the one thing that i thought wasn't shortened and rushed that was more developed was aunt jet's death in the beginning

I agree with that.

Played by Stockard Channing.

And Aunt Jet.

Played by Diane West.

And they look after...

All right.

So our cast back, obviously we have aunt Franny played by Stockard Channing.

We have aunt jet, right? Bridget played by Diane West.

There is Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens.

When this happens, the two little girls, which are Sally and Jillian, go to live with her aunts.

And the aunts are Frances and Jet, played by Stalker Channing and Diane Wiest.

And they invite the girls in their home.

We find out later, mom dies of a broken heart after her husband dies.

So later they're sitting down to lunch with their aunts and the aunts were the voiceover.

They were telling the little girls this whole story.

Aunt Fanny believes that Aunt Jett is like hogwash.

This is not real.

I know.

And Diane Wiest, um, back as Bridget Owens, AKA Jet.

[laughs]

Jet, such a cool nickname.
