WWTD 147 - Tuck Everlasting: Do You Fear Death?


Listen Later

Every so often Vicky, Nolan and Jill will encounter a Disney movie that raises an interesting philosophical question for them to really sick their teeth into. TUCK EVERLASTING, another in the "adaption of a beloved children's book none of us have read" series, could have raised interesting questions around what it means to live a "worthwhile" life or if living forever is truly living if you just mostly sit around a cabin with your immortal parents and immortal mopey older brother. And sure, we give about the same amount of time to exploring those questions and themes as the movie does (that is, not much). But mostly we're hung up on the age old question of just how creepy is it when a guy who looks seventeen but is actually 104 is obsessed with a girl who looks twelve but is actually played by a twenty year-old actress. Also whatever Ben Kingsley is doing in this movie is incredibly distracting. All that and more on this week's We Want The D!
