Harriet the Spy (1996)
Episode description
"You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life."
On February 26, 2025, the world lost an influential performer in Michelle Trachtenberg. An icon in the world of teen movies and TV dramas, she first came into the hearts of many as the titular HARRIET THE SPY. In honor of her life, The Wives Colangelo are discussing one of the best kid's movies (that isn't structured at all like a kid's movie) that only feels like it's gotten more special as years have gone by. The first Nickelodeon film ever was unafraid to tackle difficult topics, difficult children, and the difficulties of growing up. Get your spy kit ready because we've got a lesbian nanny to learn from!
Rest in peace, Michelle. Thank you for everything.
