Hello everybody, you're listening to you are good feelings podcast about movies I am one

of your co-host Alex steed I will be joined by the wonderful Sarah Marshall my co-host

and a few moments. We're joined in this episode by Carolyn Kendrick who is our fabulous producer

and music director. We thought this was going to be a bonus episode actually but we've been

trying to get together a good fellas episode this was to come out this week for a while but

once in a while I'm reminded that this show is organized by a couple of toruses sometimes we

just aren't able to get things out according to a plan or a schedule or an agenda so we have

hook this is the movie people have been asking for since we started the podcast especially back

when we were called why our dads which was a show that was a more forward about exploring

relationships with dads of course this is a movie about a dad who's you know relearning how to

be a kid which was once very very important to him which was his whole life philosophy until

being a grown up being a pirate took over this perspective so yeah this is this is about that

a lot of people have asked for this movie so I'm glad that we're finally able to cover it I didn't

know until we covered this movie that this is not loved by critics my experience is summed up in

this great av club piece that asks is hook Steven Spielberg's worst movie or just his most

excessive and Jesse Hassinger in that piece writes the following I was 11 in 1991 when hook came out

and the exact right exennial age to forgive the movie its myriad successes and embarrassments

just as those a few years older than me are liable to forgive the goonies in those a few years younger

may forgive hookahs focus on and on in both directions throughout the history of chinchy kids movies

that was me you know I was a kid when this came out it was like a big movie and I just assumed

that everyone loved it had Robin Williams in it what's not to love we talk a bit about the

critical assessment in this episode and we talk a little bit about you know maybe why it fell flat
