Welcome to episode 051 of Choose Film: A Reel Retrospective podcast. Knock up some Pancakes, check your glass for any Newts and don't get sent to the Chokey. This week Gary and Rebecca are joined by fellow creative Emma Ruse to discuss the wonderful Matilda. 

Synopsis
This film adaptation of a Roald Dahl work tells the story of Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson), a gifted girl forced to put up with a crude, distant father (Danny DeVito) and mother (Rhea Perlman). Worse, Agatha Trunchbull (Pam Ferris), the evil principal at Matilda's school, is a terrifyingly strict bully. However, when Matilda realizes she has the power of telekinesis, she begins to defend her friends from Trunchbull's wrath and fight back against her unkind parents.
