We revisit the American Girl universe for the first time in years to watch American Girl: Corinne Tan The Movie. We may have struggled to find things to love in this short movie aimed at tweens, but you’d better believe we found a spot for podcast fave John Cho in our reimagined HBO casting.
Previous episodes we mention
Inventing the Perfect College Applicant from New York Magazine on January 29th

They do still make American Girl books! Corinne to the Rescue
American Girl: Corinne Tan The Movie made us think of these movies and shows for grown ups:
- Bad Moms
- Edge of the Unknown with Jimmy Chin on Disney Plus
- What I Learned in Avalanche School by Heidi Julavits in the New York Times
We cast the gritty HBO reboot of the movie with:
- Awkwafina or America Ferrera as Corinne’s mom
- Simu Liu or John Cho (podcast fave!) as Corinne’s dad
- Ariana Greenblatt as Corinne
