Hey listeners! Campbell and I had several more thoughts on Annie that we just had to share. Here's a quick peek at our thoughts on the overall tone of this version versus the 1982 film, turnaround time on internet meme production, and how we would go about kidnapping Annie if we were the fake parents (hint: our way is better). 

This whole movie feels like a commercial. This week, Raven and Campbell talk about wasted talents, modernization of musicals, and how technology removed any stakes in the 2014 version of Annie.
