I’m sure there was some discussion about whether or not to make an adaptation set in contemporary times but I think they made the right decision to keep it a period drama.

I’m … not sure … that ISWYDT.

Seriously, I agree about the 1970s setting being the right choice. They’re going to get OG (i.e. old) Judy Blume fans like me as well as young people.

I count Judy Blume alongside Sesame Street and Fred Rogers and “Free to Be You and Me” and “Where Did I Come From” amongst the many cultural treasures bestowed on GenX and later generations. Her books made those who read them better and more empathetic humans.

That was lovely; thanks for sharing. Is that Neil Gaiman propping up a stack of books?

Ah, I guess is it Neil Gaiman Palmer :heart_eyes: Thank you, Wikipedia.

But yeah, it was him in the video! A wild Gaiman appears!
