What happens when you revisit Hook — Steven Spielberg’s fantastical (and sometimes divisive) 1991 take on Peter Pan — more than 30 years later? This week, Jeff & Josue are joined by special guest Jess Groves, who brings her unique blend of Neverland skills to the conversation. From Robin Williams’ heartfelt Peter, to Dustin Hoffman’s larger-than-life Hook, to Julia Roberts’ pixie-ish Tinker Bell — and even Maggie Smith as Wendy, already stepping into her ‘forever old’ roles we’d later recognize in Sister Act, Downton Abbey, and Harry Potter — we dive into whether this movie still soars… or if it’s weighed down by nostalgia.
