MOVIE CLUB: Mamma Mia (Or Is It DADDA Mia?) With Garrett Bucks

A juicy, earnestly silly over-think of Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again (Sarah’s preferred Mamma Mia) in which Sarah’s friend

Garrett Bucks

joins us with a spicy-hot take on the three (three!) dads of Mamma Mia. When Bucks is not thinking about the rich, layered texts that are Mamma Mia and Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again, he keeps busy doing Dad Stuff, as well as working as an anti-racist organizer and educator, and authoring the Substack Newsletter

The White Pages

. If you like his take on Mamma Mia, you may also love his memoir, The Right Kind of White.
