from One of Us is a Filmmaker - a Nostalgic Movie Podcast · host Orion & Cassiah
In today's episode, Orion and Cassiah chat about the movie adaptations based on books by the iconic children's author Roald Dahl, debating which ones are 'good' and which ones are 'bad'! We're mostly keeping it old school, throwing it back to our nostalgic childhood classics such as 'The Witches' (1990), 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' (1971), and 'James and the Giant Peach' (1996) - but also expect some more recent adaptations such as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (2005) and 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' (2009). So give it a listen, and join us in a world of pure imagination!
