Host Martin Kessler welcomes film writer and curator Vanya Garraway to discuss the various film versions of J. M. Barrie's oft-adapted Peter Pan, from the 1924 silent film to last year's Peter Pan & Wendy. Giving their personal assessment of each movie, they dig into the history of the free-spirited boy who refuses to grow up, what makes it such an enduring tale and the sadness inherent in this story of pirates and fairies and a ticking crocodile. Along the way, Kessler and Garraway discuss which Captain Hooks are too sexy, why a Peter Pan story needs a Wendy and yes, they dig into the Tiger Lily issue. Tying Barrie's original work to the thematic concept of what nostalgia really means, they break down the highs and lows of each film adaptation to determine the value of a great story told over & over again.
