Hook with Roxana Hadadi (Chasing Gwyneth Paltrow: Episode 2)

June 23, 2026 · 2 h

Show notes

Gwyneth Paltrow's godfather Steven Spielberg helped her earn her SAG card by casting her in his 1991 fantasy Hook, where she plays the younger version of Maggie Smith's Wendy Darling. We're joined by Vulture critic Roxana Hadadi to talk about Gwyneth's early accent work, and why this movie is divisive even among the millennials who grew up with it. Plus: daddy issues, cozying up to the Saudis, and choosing Miles Teller over Callum Turner.
