This week, Brenna and Joe are headed to Broadway to discuss Tim Federle's 2013 Middle Grade book and his 2022 Disney+ adaptation.
We love the Adventures in Babysitting vibe of the book, which has real stakes as Nate navigates the dangers of NY through rose-coloured glasses. The film mistakenly gives best friend Libby (played well by Aria Brooks) and older brother Anthony (played horribly by Joshua Bassett) more to do...to the film's detriment.
Plus: why this film is the perfect synthesis of Disney's current "Don't Say Gay" woes, and co-star Lisa Kudrow's terrible hair and gorgeous Queens apartment.
