172: Hook Turns 30

Guess what else turns 30 this year? Steven Spielberg’s Hook.  Feel old yet? No.  Join us and celebrate this family classic. Originally penned as a sequel to J.M. Barrie’s 1911 novel, Peter and Wendy, Hook focuses on an adult Peter Pan, played by our late favorite funnyman Robin Williams, who has forgotten his childhood and Neverland. Enter Captain Hook, played by Dustin Hoffman, who kidnaps his children and forces him to return to save them. He not only reunites with the Lost Boys but once again faces off with his childhood nemesis.  Throw in music by maestro John Williams and stellar performances by all involved, and you’ve got yourself a cult classic you’ll show your kids over and over again.  Episode Timeline: 0:00 – 18:39: News Rocky Prequel Series Being Written by Sylvester Stallone The Cast of Kenobi Announced Jordan Fisher Cast as Bart Allen on CW’s The Flash Knives Out Sequels Sell for $400 Million to Netflix MCU Fan Sets World Record for Watching Avengers: Endgame 191 Times Space Jam: Legacy Trailer What We Watched This Week 18:40 – 41:02: Hook Listen to Past Episodes: 171: Silence of the Lambs Turns 30 170: The Birdcage Turns 25 169: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Turns 35 168: Best & Worst Gangster Films 167: Taxi Driver & Joker YOUR HOSTS: David – @gonzo_mania Ryan – @m.e.r.t_pod Love what you hear? Let your friends know and leave us a review!
