You're listening to the Beautiful Mess Podcast, your cozy comfort listen.

Today we're rewatching the 1991 movie Hook starring Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman and

directed by Stephen Spielberg. I'm so excited. I love this movie. This is one of

my favorite movies from my own

childhood and I absolutely constantly push it on my children. So I think it's

had to be done. Goldie was actually we were watching it yesterday to prep for this and she asked me

she said isn't your podcast for grown-ups and she was like why are you watching a kids movie?

This is a good question, Goldie.

Yeah.

Very perceptive of you.

I know, right?

But I mean, I feel like if you're a millennial person,

you grew up with Hook, probably. I hope you did. If not, I'm sorry because it's in some way society failed you because it really is the ultimate. It is unhinged in all the best

possible ways and there's so many famous people in it. It is just famous person, famous person, it's crazy. So,

great movie. So if you haven't seen it, here's a synopsis.

Basically it's Peter Pan grown up and he has forgotten that he was Peter Pan and

Captain Hook comes back and kidnaps his children and Peter Pan has to go back to

Neverland, remember who he was, he's Peter Pan, he can fly, he can fight, he can crow, and save his children from Captain Hook.

And Captain Hook, meanwhile, is low-key trying to get the kids to like love him because he thinks that it will make Peter Pan jealous and sad and

and that's pretty much pretty much the plot of the movie. It is a two and a half

hour movie though for how short that plot is. This is like one of the longest kids movies that I can think of.

Yeah, I think it actually is one of the longest kids movies of all time.
