Send us a textOn the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are navigating this weird, scary new world of growing up. We watched the 2023 film from Kelly Fremon Craig, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.Ah, the joys of puberty. The changing voice, the new hair sprouting up everywhere, and who knows what the heck is going on down in the bathing suit area. It's a time we all share and remember fondly.Wait, did I say “joy”? Did I refer to it “fondly”? I must be off my rocker today, because puberty is none of those things for anybody. Nowhere is that truth better depicted in the story of Margaret and her evolving life.For week two of our Kathy Bates appreciation month, we've got a heart-warming classic story. Enjoy the film and join us in loving a great performance by one of cinema's all-time greats.(Recorded on November 05, 2024)Links to Stuff We Mentioned:Are You There God?

The Rachel McAdams Picture Show keeps on truckin' with Kelly Fremon Craig's ARE YOU THERE, GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET. Following MEAN GIRLS up with this is my way of showing you the range of one Rachel McAdams: cutting someone down to size with a glance in one movie, masking insecurity as perfectionism for the benefit of her family in another. McAdams has such a power of restraint with her body language that she can tell you everything she's feeling without it feeling performative, like she's trying to bait a reaction out of her costars, but rather that she's absolutely living in the moment. Playing someone whose personality is one geared for support at the detriment of her own fulfillment, this skill is best utilized in the role of Margaret's mom, Barbara. McAdams got so much critical love and dark horse Supporting Actress attention for this role and honestly? Should've gotten the nomination.

This episode we discuss the classic Judy Blume novel, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. and the 2023 film adaptation directed by Kelly Fremon Craig. This story perfectly highlights the trials and tribulations of puberty, family, and the mysterious pursuit of God, all while delivering amazing comedy and beautiful moments between friends and family.
Megan chats with Kelly Fremon Craig about continuously growing up, giving women the freedom to be unlikable on screen, what it means to be a mother and a filmmaker and, of course, her incredible film, Are You There God It's Me Margaret.
After wowing audiences with her feature directorial debut "The Edge Of Seventeen" in 2016, writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig turned her eye toward Judy Blume's influential coming-of-age book and adapted it into the critically beloved "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." The film had its world premiere at the San Francisco International Film Festival and has been picking up several wins throughout this awards season, including most recently, Best Supporting Performance from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association for Rachel McAdams and a Gotham and Critics Choice Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay for Kelly Fremon Craig. Kelly was kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with us about her work on the film, what it has meant to her, the enduring legacy of the 1970 novel, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 96th Academy Awards. Thank you, and enjoy!

With her latest feature Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret gaining momentum on the awards circuit, writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig takes a moment to celebrate the remarkable collaboration between Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater that gave us Before Sunrise and Before Sunset ... and that third one, too. Your genial host Norm Wilner apologizes for mixing up "seven" and "nine" early in the conversation.
‘Oh Judy, baby.' That's Judy Blume impersonating the many male producers who had approached her decades ago to bring her legendary book about a girl traversing puberty, family and friends to the big screen. She wasn't having it and followed advice from her son: Wait for the girls who grew up with the book to be in power. Enter director Kelly Fremon Craig. In a poignant, fun and revealing conversation, the two women tell the story of how they met, what happened after, and the power of “small” stories, as part of The Ankler's In Conversation series, hosted by Janice Min.

The film Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is an adaptation of the 1970 Judy Blume book about a pre-teen girl coming of age. Cinematographer Tim Ives, ASC was drawn to working on the film because with three kids, including two daughters, he was interested in opening up the conversation about girls going through puberty and getting their first period. Tim also admired screenwriter and director Kelly Fremon Craig's work on The Edge of Seventeen. Tim had previously shot the series Stranger Things, so he had a comfort and familiarity with kids in their early teens. Tim also appreciated that Kelly Fremon Craig brought so much enthusiasm, love and commitment to the film, and deeply respected the book by Judy Blume. Though the film is set in the 1970's, neither Tim nor Craig wanted Margaret to feel too dusty and faded. They wanted the film to have a nostalgic feel while still seeming contemporary. At first, they had trouble finding just the right look, until Tim showed Craig a book of photographs by Tina Barney. Her photos influenced the look of the movie, with a very amber, Kodak Gold film look. Tim wanted every scene in the movie to feel like it was a snapshot taken from real life. In his work, Tim most enjoys working on stories with flawed characters with hopes of redemption. He first broke into narrative storytelling through the HBO series Girls, then went on to shoot the pilot for Mr. Robot and several seasons of Stranger Things. Tim enjoyed working on Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret because he likes the timeframe of film, where it's working on one thing for about half a year, with one singular vision from one director. In series television, it usually means working intensely on one thing for almost a year, with a few different directors. Tim Ives' latest project, Love & Death, another period piece set in 1980, is currently on Max. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is currently available on VOD or DVD.

While I understand why Marvel would want to "age up" Cassie Lang in the form of Kathryn Newton, there's a chemistry between Rudd & Abby Ryder Fortson was amazing. With that said, she's moved onto a new franchise with Are You There God, It's Me Margaret starring the aforementioned Abby Ryder Fortson and Rachel McAdams, has Ryder as the titular character navigating everything from a new town, to boys, and growing up. Directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, the director of my favorite film of 2016 in The Edge of Seventeen, does this film recapture that level of quality?

This week, we review a pair of movies about coming of age and learning to live with yourself.

Then, Sarah introduces Kevin to Kelly Fremon Craig's directorial debut, The Edge of Seventeen, starring Hailee Steinfeld. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Katai is back and to celebrate, she and Kelly went to the movies together IRL in order to cover Kelly Fremon Craig's adaptation of the Judy Blume novel, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," both of which are committed to 1) sensitively telling the story of cis-girl puberty woes and 2) using punctuation in the title (although actually it's missing a comma before "God," but we'll forgive them). They generally gush over the film (pun intended) and talk fantastic performances, humanizing the 'rents, getting misty, as well as tangent on Harry and Meghan and (because we are who we are) annoying Twitter behavior.SUBSCRIBE TO THE TEEN CREEPS PATREON to get ad free episodes, bonus episodes, merch, and more:https://www.patreon.com/teencreepsCONNECT W/ TEEN CREEPS:https://twitter.com/teencreepspodhttps://www.instagram.com/teencreepspodhttps://www.facebook.com/teencreepspodBUY TEEN CREEPS MERCH:https://www.teepublic.com/stores/teen-creepsTEEN CREEPS IS A FOREVER DOG PODCASThttps://foreverdogpodcasts.com/podcasts/teen-creeps*All creepy opinions expressed are those of the hosts and guests.

Kelly Fremon Craig's winning new adaptation of Judy Blume's ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET is as gentle and good-natured as the other film in this pairing, Todd Solondz's WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, is acerbic and off-putting. But both films are frank in their own way about a stage of life that cinema often ignores, so after talking through MARGARET's warm and welcoming 1970s vision of suburban New Jersey adolescence, we bring DOLLHOUSE's grim and grungy 1990s depiction into the discussion to compare the films' respective takes on puberty, peer pressure, crushes, and bullying. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE, ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730. Next Pairing: Erle C.

This Mother's Day weekend Dave, John, and Jeff gush about Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, the sensational second feature film by writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig, adapted from the 1970 novel by Judy Blume. Starring Abby Ryder Fortson, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates, as three generations of ladies in this coming-of-age teen dreamed about accepting religion, friends, and the tribulations of adolescence, it's honestly hard to talk about this movie without gushing about it, so please crack open a beer and get into the discussion with us! We also gripe about producers messing over writers despite having (and losing) billions of dollars, as well as pharmacy stores a la CVS and Duane Reade locking up all of their supply but then their staff being nowhere when you need anything… something has to be done before Amazon swallows them up!

Over 50 years ago, Judy Blume wrote a classic coming-of-age novel about a nice girl who was simultaneously facing a move to New Jersey, sixth grade, puberty, and questions about God and religion. They say good things come to those who wait…the multi-hyphenate host of The JV Club, Janet Varney, joins us to weigh in on if this adaptation was one of those things. Plus, a lot of good and informative strike talk, and a few more ideas for childhood classics to adapt.

Erin and Paul review two films about girls coming of age in New Jersey: the new Judy Blume adaptation ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME MARGARET, and Todd Solondz's 1995 cringefest WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE.
Judy Blume's 1970's classic book, "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." The novel wasn't initially well-received when it was published, being banned in libraries and schools, including the one Blume's children went to. It follows an 11-year-old Margaret stepping into the world of adolescence (breasts, boys, and periods included) and exploring her religious identity along the way. Her father, Jewish, and her mother, Christian, kept religion out of Margaret's upbringing to allow her to decide her faith for herself. Now, the story has the film treatment by writer-director Kelly Fremon Craig. For this edition of the 1A Movie Club, we discuss periods, adolescence, and grappling with your identity.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast.

The first few months of the year have a reputation — arguably an unfair one — as a dumping ground for films unlikely to draw blockbuster crowds or notice from awards-giving bodies. Here at The Next Picture Show, we don't subscribe to the idea that no movies of value come out during these months, but we will acknowledge how rarely one of these films makes it onto our final Best of the Year lists. So before summer movie season commences and wipes our collective cultural consciousness of what preceded it, Scott and Keith got together for a special one-off episode focused on ten such films. Whether they end up being the best of the year, or just the best of the first third of the year, they're worth a closer look. Please share your picks on the year's best so far, along with any other comments, thoughts, or questions, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Kelly Fremon Craig is a writer and director who has earned awards and nominations for her first feature, The Edge of Seventeen. Her second feature, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, is based on the very famous Judy Blume novel of the same name. A main theme of this film is what it's like to undergo the complicated process of puberty, which is ironically similar to Craig's experience with the screenwriting process. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and director Kelly Fremon Craig, discuss: How this film brought a sense of relief from embarrassment Why the worst place to create from is a place of self-consciousness Accepting the complicated emotions that arise during the writing process Trying to render the truth of an experience Letting kid actors give their authentic reactions on camera Giving actors the freedom to play and create on set How she decided to shoot a very specific scene in the film Figuring out how to shoot more intimate moments without crossing the line Why directors need to get different versions of a shot Watching all the different takes and pulling out the nuggets What Kelly hopes this film will inspire viewers to do Memorable Quotes “I felt such a crushing pressure not to screw it up.” [5:44] “I love creating a set, an atmosphere on set, where everybody feels safe to try even their wildest ideas.” [16:54] “I like that ‘fly on the wall' style of shooting where you feel like you're eavesdropping.” [24:12] “Every single different version is a different tool in your toolbelt.” [26:54] “It's treasure hunting on set. You're just looking for little diamonds.” [29:04] Mentioned Resources: Are You There God?

It's been more than 50 years since the publication of Judy Blume's middle-grade novel “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret,” a coming-of-age tale that has become a classic for its frank discussion of everything from puberty to religious identity to life in the New Jersey suburbs. Despite its grip on generations of readers, though, the book has never been adapted for film — until now, in a screenplay written by the director Kelly Fremon Craig and opening for wide release on April 28. To mark the occasion, our editor Elisabeth Egan appears on this week's podcast and talks with the host Gilbert Cruz about the novel's importance to her own 1980s New Jersey girlhood.“For me, Judy Blume was one of those writers — and I know that all readers have them — who just explained the world and talked about things that we did not talk about in my family,” Egan says. “I loved her constant theme of moving to New Jersey, as my family did when I was 6 years old. Most of all, I really loved her books for young adolescents, especially ‘Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.' It's one of those books that I remember where I was sitting when I read it, and it kind of had a profound effect on my life.”Also on this week's episode, Miguel Salazar talks about the Nobel-winning Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez, and offers his list of essential books for readers who are eager to approach García Márquez's work but unsure where to start.“He is a mammoth figure, not just across Colombia but across Latin America. He was the face of the boom in literature in Latin America in the mid- and late 20th century,” Salazar says. “García Márquez still today remains today kind of the point of reference for American readers, and a lot of readers across Latin America, to understand their region. I think he's most people's first author when they turn to the region to understand it through literature.”We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.
