“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!
