About this episode

Brenna and Joe discuss the 2002 Disney adaptation of Tuck Everlasting, focusing on its changes from the book and key performances.

Brenna and Joe wrap up Book 7 with a look at the 2002 Disney adaptation of Tuck Everlasting , starring Alexis Bledel and Jonathan Jackson (and his schwoopy hair!) The big change in the film is the focus on Winnie and Jesse's love story, as well as an updated time period (and no jailbreak!) Plus: Joe's movie-ruining factoid; Ben Kingsley's villainous performance; and why being abducted on a horse isn't the same as walking. Wanna connect with the show?
