Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret (2023)
b'
After 50 years and a few delays, we\'re *finally* talking about Kelly Fremon Craig\'s Are You There, God? It\'s Me, Margaret, only our second Judy Blume adaptation! (We previously talked about the book in our third Book Club episode)
Brenna and Joe adore this gentle, charming adaptation which maintains the gist of the iconic book, with expanded screen time for Rachel McAdams\'s Barbara and a stuntcast grandma (Kathy Bates).
Plus: period comedy, resisting Hollywood conflict, showing blood on screen, and a last minute catch from Brenna about gendered language.
