This week Rolando and Nicole discuss 1996's Matilda, directed by Danny DeVito and compare it to 2022's Matilda the Musical, distributed by Netflix.

The two praise DeVito's creative decisions in adapting the Roald Dahl book and the memorable performance by Pam Ferris as The Trunchbull. How do they compare to the musical adaptation of the book? Do the musical numbers emotionally elevate the property like Matilda's telekinetic powers lift the Trunchbull? Listen to find out.
