For millennials of a certain age, "Hook" is a beloved favorite. It's got stars (Robin Williams! Dustin Hoffman! Julia Roberts!), it's got production value, it's got the beloved Peter Pan IP, and it's got the most famous film director of all time. Only problem is... Spielberg hates it! Most of the stars didn't enjoy it! It was largely savaged by critics and was considered a commercial flop upon its release! How on God's green earth did this film miss!?
Join us in Neverland (the imaginary one, not the real-life horror show one (OK but we do spend a second there, too...)) as we dive into all the good and all the bad of "Hook," Steven Spielberg's 1991 Peter Pan extravaganza.
00:00 - Intro / This movie is bonkers
