Ep.062 – Madeline’s European Adventure with Allie Jennings

If you believe you must be big in order to be tough, then you should get to know her. She’ll teach you other stuff! She’s Madeline and though she’s very small, inside she’s tall. She may be very tiny. She may be petite. Do you understand how small this child is? We can barely see her! That aside, we’re thrilled to be discussing everyone’s favorite French orphan in her best game. Today we’re joined by the brilliant actor, writer, and co-host of the P.S. I love Rom Coms podcast Allie Jennings to discuss Madeline’s European Adventure (1995).
Allie wasted no time in earning brownie points with the show by telling us she’s been browsing the internet to buy a Nintendo GameCube, reminisces about playing Super Monkey Ball from 8pm-8am as a middle schooler, and how later in life she opened an old jewelry box only to find two of her long lost memory cards solely dedicated to the first Animal Crossing. We also talk about the wonder of Madeline’s glorious adventure throughout Europe.
