Hook (1991)

As we progress through Steven Spielberg month, we decided to throw in 1991’s Hook, because what the hell, right? Hook is a reimagining of the Peter Pan story. After leaving neverland to bone Wendy’s granddaughter and have some kids, Peter Pan has become a shitty father and a surprisingly good businessman, although he has forgotten where he came from or who he was. After his kids are kidnapped one night, he is transported back to neverland by Tinkerbell and must remember who he was or lose his Kids to the dreaded Captain Hook. Starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Bob Hoskins, and Julia Roberts. Hook brought in $300 million from a $70 million budget and became a childhood favourite for a generation. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent discuss progressive pirate relationships as we try to determine if this is one of our happy thoughts or if it deserves the hook!
