Hook - Review 26

Listener, you’ve become a pirate! We’re continuing our ode to Robin Williams with the critically disparaged but cult classic, Hook. We discuss the infamous on-set friction between Steven Spielberg and Julia Roberts, the timeless magic of that John Williams score, and how certain monologues hit very hard as adults. We talk about how Spielberg puts so much of his personal life on screen and why we think he and critics simply got it wrong with this film, especially given its beloved reception among millennials. So dust off those smashing green tights, think of your happiest thought, and fly away to Neverland with us as we review Steven Spielberg’s Hook.
