    Summary: We're still on holiday break this week so we're resurfacing this episode we did in 2018 on Little Women. "Not so little women." Over the years, there have been many film, stage and television versions of the classic book Little Women. Pop This! producer Andrea Gin loves the 1949 version, Lisa Christiansen prefers the 1994 iteration and Andrea Warner is watching both for the first time ever. Let the debate begin!
