As Walt Disney World debuts a new Mary Poppins Returns-themed restaurant, Aaron joins his close friends Albert Gutierrez and Jonathan Harvill for a DEEP dive into the 2018 movie musical starring Emily Blunt and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Their conversation was recorded in early 2019 but is only debuting now.

In this, the first of a multi-part discussion, On Main Street shares general impressions of the film and considers some of its biggest criticisms. (The next episode will look closely at each of the movie's songs.)
