Dear Evan Hansen: New Movie Discussion

**Please see disclaimer before listening**

This week on the pod Dave, John and Jeff engage in a civil discussion about the polarizing new film Dear Evan Hansen, which was released theatrically 9/24/2021. We are a positive criticism podcast where each host has to drink anytime we say anything negative about a film. The critics said so many negative things and we hate those kind of critics. They were probably right about this film but f them anyway. We got to work in an attempt to find the good in this movie musical starring Ben Platt, Julianne Moore, Amy Adams and Kaitlyn Dever. The movie was directed by Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being A Wallflower), written by Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul.

**disclaimer- This conversation covers topics such as teenage suicide as two different characters in the film struggled with this issue. We also discuss how it was used in the plot, which can be a difficult conversation to hear. If you are struggling or know anybody struggling with harmful thoughts, call 1-800-273-8255 and skip this episode.**
