What do you get when you combine a book all four of us love, a movie release we've been waiting patiently for over two years to see, and one director who just does not understand the source material?
The answer — you (unfortunately) get a film that had a ton of promise based on a great book that left us bummed... and, honestly, kind of annoyed.
Hear our family's take on the book-to-film adaptation of Mickey 7, including some rants about political commentary gone rogue.
CORRECTION: We incorrectly state during this episode that Darius Blank was not mentioned in Mickey 7. This is inaccurate; Blank is mentioned in the book but not portrayed as a murder-loving psycho as in the film.
Featuring hosts Tim Haynes, Donna Haynes, Rebekah Edwards, and T. Josiah Haynes.
