Wonka Director Paul King on Why He Chose Timothée Chalamet + Calah Lane on Playing Noodle in Wonka and Learning From Co-Stars   + Movie Review: Drive-Away Dolls + Trailer Park: Twisters

Mike talks to director Paul King about how he brought his vision to life with Wonka. Paul talks about why he wanted Timothée Chalamet to play Wonka, what he loved about the original that he didn’t get to include in his version and how he feels about people being surprised to learn the film is a musical.  Mike then talks to Calah Lane who plays Noodle in Wonka. She talks about what it was like seeing herself on the big screen for the first time, her process of learning lines and what she learned from her co-star Timothée Chalamet. In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Drive-Away Dolls. He talks about Margaret Qualley's standout performance, the film's hard R-rating and what it did right and what it lacked in its 1 hour and 20 minute runtime. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Twisters, the sequel to one of his favorite movies of all-time. The question is does he hate it or love it now that the first look has arrived?    New Episodes Every Monday!
