Nutty Bites: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before – Dinner and a Movie – Dog Days of Podcasting 2018

To All the Boys I’ve Loved is a Netflix teen movie that I really enjoyed. It’s fluff but I like fluff. Sometimes you just need a teen movie to kick back and veg to. I thought from the trailer the main character was adopted. That’s what got me watching only to find it was a mixed race family, also cool. I get excited by adopted families on TV because I have two adopted brothers. It’s something that seems pretty rare on TV, and when it is done, it is often bad.

Update! Wait a second, THIS is the movie I heard about where the author refused to sign off on any adaptation where the main character was played by a non asian! This was huge! I’m so happy that the movie I had read about was good! Many execs said that the race shouldn’t matter when casting and the author said if that is the case then cast an asian. The character is Korean-American, and while it is not the main topic of the movie, it is essential to the character. Wow! I’m so excited now. You can read more by an avid fan of the book.

I’m going to miss Dog Days of Podcasting. I love having all of these familiar voices in my ears. I count all of these podcasters as my friends and many of them go silent over the rest of the year. Till next August I suppose.

I’ve been thinking and praying a lot about my friend Scott Pond lately and especially today. You can find out more about his struggle here. #PondyStrong #TeamPondy
