Episode 151: The Yearling
ABOUT THE EPISODE:
Who would have thought that a Saturday afternoon kid’s matinee of a movie would cause such controversy? Suzan thinks The Yearling is a well made movie for which she is absolutely not the audience, while David’s childhood experience with the genre makes his criteria for a good “boy adventurer” movie quite strict. Will his argument bring down Suzan’s opinion, or will hers raise David’s estimation of this movie about a little boy and his pet deer?
