Don’t say it’s popping, Matt. Keep it together. With the newest trailer for the upcomingMary Poppins Returnswe get an actual look at what the hopeful blockbuster will be instead of hints and teases and… I’m still 50/50. Maybe it’s just my nostalgia and passionate love for the near-perfect first film, but I’m not feeling the charm yet. It could be there, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not coming through fully....
