“Listen, you little wiseacre: I'm smart, you're dumb; I'm big, you're little, I'm right, you're wrong, and there's nothing you can do about it.” In this week’s episode, we dissect Matilda, a film released on August 2, 1996, starring Mara Wilson, Embeth Davidtz, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Kiami Davael, and Pam Ferris. Join us as we discuss superpowers, scammers, the chokey, chocolate cake, speedboat salesmen, (more) women who hate children, the magic of reading, and more!Notable Mentions + References in This Episode:Roald Dahl’s Tantrum Over Pencils Nearly Ended His CareerWhen Roald Dahl's Editor Decided He Was Too Much of a Prick To PublishPam Ferris “Matilda” Interview (1996)Pam Ferris As Trunchbull: A Masterclass in VillainyBehind the Scenes - MatildaItty Bitty Pretty One Scene - MatildaSend Me on My Way - Rusted RootMatilda Meets Ms. Honey Scene - MatildaBarbie & Ruth Have a Heart to Heart - BarbieMean Girls (Episode 148)Connect with us:Instagram: @in_hindsight_podTwitter: @in_hindsightpod Thanks for listening!
