How Far I'll Go - This is Not Moana

Episode 167 - How Far I'll Go by Keala KendallWhat if Moana was worse?Sam and Kaitlyn discuss How Far I’ll Go, one of the newest entries in Disney’s Meant to Be series and unfortunately, this one was a major disappointment.We came away asking:• What lesson was this story even trying to teach?• Why does the plot feel like “What if Moana was dumber?”• And how did a relationship built around loving someone out of abusive behavior make it into the final version?We unpack the characterization, the story choices, and why this feels like a weak showing for a new author entering the series. Sometimes adaptations miss the magic and this one left us more confused than charmed.New episodes every Monday at 8 AM EST ✨Next week: The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare by Lilian Jackson Braun⏱️ Time Stamps00:00 Intro01:08 About the Author04:39 Background10:28 Age Level & Content Warning13:08 Judge a Book by Its Cover14:04 Discussion01:17:55 General Thoughts01:20:08 One Question for the Author01:21:52 Rating01:23:36 Read Again?01:24:03 Favorite of the Series so Far01:24:40 Outro📖 Follow the AuthorKeala KendallWebsite: https://www.kealakendall.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kealakendallBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kealakendall.bsky.socialTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kealakendall🔗 Connect with Us on SocialsFacebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575460276754Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lunar_skulk/TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/lunar_skulk⁠⁠⁠⁠🎧 Listen Wherever You Get Podcasts
