Podcast appearances and mentions of Mara Wilson

Miss Honey stans, grab your chocolate cake—our Book Club Month wraps with Danny DeVito's charmingly chaotic Matilda film review. In Season 8, Episode 20 of the So Many Sequels podcast, Josh and David dig into Roald Dahl's pint‑sized heroine, telekinetic justice, and the 90s VHS afterlife that turned a box‑office underdog into a cult classic. We debate Trunchbull nightmare fuel, gush over Mara Wilson's book‑devouring genius, and crown the weirdest narrator choice in movie history (sorry, Danny). We also tackle banned‑book controversies, the power of found family, and why Miss Honey would make a killer narrator. Plus insider trivia on chocolate‑cake chaos, box‑office flops bigger than a newt, and our own nostalgic tales of conquering multiplication like Matilda.

Jason Fraley interviews Oscar-nominated composer David Newman, who conducts “Matilda: In Concert” live with the NSO Pops at the Kennedy Center this Friday and Saturday, including a special Q&A with Danny DeVito and Mara Wilson. He reflects on his career from “The Mighty Ducks” to “The Sandlot,” from “Tommy Boy” to “The Nutty Professor,” from “Anastasia” to “Ice Age,” as well as his favorite film scores by his legendary father Alfred Newman, brother Thomas Newman and cousin Randy Newman. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

Chelsea is joined by writer and performer Ruby Karp (I Don't Trust Adults) to cover Mara Wilson's memoir, “Where Am I Now?” They unpack this introspective and honest look at child stardom and a career in the arts, from Mara's days on the set of “Matilda” and “Mrs. Doubtfire” to what it was like to cross paths with fellow child actors like Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart, and have mentors like Robin Williams and Danny Devito. Chelsea and Ruby reflect on storytelling as survival and what it takes to make it through young fame with your wit intact. Trigger warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including suicide.

Michael and Rob welcome Jeff Somogyi to talk about Les Mayfield's remake of Miracle on 24th Street, starring Mara Wilson, Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, and Dylan McDermott. We have differing opinions about its quality. How much does it makes sense? How does it compare to the original? And how well does it communicate its ideas about faith, truth, and capitalism? We get into all of it in this funny, thought-provoking conversation.

It is officially Christmas, and you will know Kieran's guest from some of the most iconic family movies, including Miracle on 34th Street and Matilda…Mara Wilson joins Kieran to chat!

You remember Mara Wilson as a young girl starring in films such as Matilda, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Miracle on 34th Street. You probably don't remember her in Idyllwild Arts Academy, because that was not a film but an arts-based boarding school in California and you probably didn't go there with her. In this languid and relaxing interview, Mara shares her stories and experiences at a school where, unlike her films, there was no telekinesis, Robin Williams dressed up like a lady, or real Santa Clauses.Follow Mara Wilson on Instagram @marawilson.

We wrap up Family Movie Month with what can best be described as “Carrie” for kids. (With a surprising scoop of “Texas Chainsaw  Massacre” and an important connection to “Scream 2”!) Despite its spooky undertones (and Roald Dahl roots), “Matilda” is also an enthralling coming of age story featuring small legend Mara Wilson,  Embeth Davidtz's Icon to the Introverted, Miss Honey, TV royalty Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, Best Supporting Jean Speegel Howard and Pam Ferris tearing the scenery from limb to limb as Trunchbull.

MOVIE NIGHT! Join Tom, Dan & Sarah as they scrub the Rust off the Root to "send you on your way" to a place where learning is magical, and where tyrannical parents, megalomaniacal principals, and regular cops always get what they deserve: suffering. That's right, we're watching the 1996 family film masterpiece, "Matilda!" Bringing vivid life to the Roald Dahl classic, Mara Wilson earns our enduring praise as an iconic magical child, burning a joyful streak through a depressingly-authentic world of anti-intellectualism and stifled childhoods. Danny DeVito directs and co-stars this tour-de-force alongside some all-timer performances from Rhea Perlman and Pam Ferris. Tune in for the play-by-play on why this might just be a literally perfect kids movie. Contained within: return of scream team, teachers are the real troops, Brucey: Hero of the People, and Trunchable's Lunchables.

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss how narrator André Santana skillfully performs Chuck Tingle's thrilling Hollywood horror novel. Screenwriter Misha Byrne has just received an ultimatum from the studio executives — their algorithm says to kill off his beloved queer TV characters, or else. Misha refuses, and Santana captures Misha's initial angry exasperation, then his escalating terror as he suddenly faces deadly characters from his horror films. Scripts of certain mysterious scenes are performed by a full cast of authors. It's both a spine-tingling horror story and a moving exploration of queer identity, humanity, and storytelling.  Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

“Oh... as I hold this cold meat, I'm reminded of Winston. God rest his soul.” We watched “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993) with MTMUG All Star Joshua Clement and we don't do laundry, we don't do windows and we DON'T do diapers. Listen, it's been 30 years since this family comedy was released and our ideas about gender identity and expression have come a long way. That being said, we firmly believe Robin Williams did not have a malicious bone in his body or thought in his heart when he committed Euphegenia Doubtfire to film. The queer sensibilities are rife throughout Daniel Hillard's (Williams) journey to become the matronly Mrs. Doubtfire in order to spend more time with his kids. From his gay brother Frank, played by icon Harvey Fierstein, to Robin's manic (and still hilarious) performance channeling Mrs. Doubtfire. As time goes by, we are finding ourselves understanding Miranda (Sally Field) a bit more - that pony was INSIDE the house! Don't get us started on Pierce Brosnan serving up body in the pool scene - we'll be rewinding that one, thank you very much.  We also love (and grew up with) the Hillard children played by Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and little bitty Mara Wilson.  This cast is perfect, the jokes still hold up and Robin, as always, serves up a master class in comedy.  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Twitter: @MTMUGPod Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

The boys take a look at 1998's "A Simple Wish" starring Martin Short, Kathleen Turner, and Mara Wilson. This movie is so bland that I felt the only way to really represent it was to make the blandest description. throwbacktheaterpodcast@gmail.com

Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss this lively murder mystery that revives Maupin's series well known from its PBS and Netflix adaptations.

Recently, Mara Wilson was talking about her favorite (and least favorite) romance tropes on social media, so I invited her onto the podcast to tell us all about it. You may know Mara Wilson from Matilda or Mrs. Doubtfire, but she's currently working very happily as an audiobook narrator, most recently for Chuck Tingle's Camp Damascus!Please note: we don't talk a lot about the films she has been in, because this was recorded while SAG-AFTRA and the WGA were on strike.

Em "Matilda", uma garota-prodígio negligenciada pelos pais finalmente realiza o sonho de ir para a escola. No entanto, ao chegar lá, Matilda se depara com um ambiente tão hostil quanto o de sua casa. Amante dos livros e com um grande senso de justiça e empatia, a menina une forças com seus colegas e a Professora Honey (Embeth Davidtz) para enfrentar todos os problemas, entre eles a terrível Diretora Trunchbull (Pam Ferris). No podcast, nós relembramos o quanto "Matilda" marcou a nossa infância com todo o carisma da atriz Mara Wilson e a direção estilizada e bem-humorada de Danny DeVito, que conta ainda com ótimos efeitos especiais. Nós também identificamos aspectos do filme que ficaram datados e elegemos nossas cenas favoritas. Você também vai saber o que as crianças do elenco andam fazendo hoje em dia. O cinematório café é produzido e apresentado por Renato Silveira e Kel Gomes. A cada episódio, nós propomos um debate em torno de filmes recém-lançados e temas relacionados ao cinema, sempre em um clima de descontração e buscando refletir sobre imagens presentes no nosso dia a dia.

[School of Movies 2023] This, folks, is arguably the greatest adaptation of one of Roald Dahl's books made to date. Taking everything that was great about the 1988 book (one of his last, only followed by Esio Trot, The Vicar of Nibbleswick and The Minpins) and one of the abiding favourites for many kids and previously-kids who aren't entirely sure if they have truly grown up yet. It's about a schoolgirl who develops telekinetic powers that she uses to banish a truly horrific headteacher. But that is merely the skeletal plot, there is so much there about being lonely, being neglected and abused and using your frustrations for something positive (making this the Anti-Carrie). And that was conducted in the beloved Mara Wilson and Danny DeVito film from 1996.  But in turning this thing into a successful West-End musical Tim Minchin added some truly memorable, frequently brilliant songs, a whole sub-plot about a story Matilda is weaving together, even more significance for the role of Miss Honey (played with astonishing fragility by Lashana Lynch). It's also a little less mean-spirited than a lot of Dahl's work, which makes it more suited to newer generations.  Alisha Weir absolutely kills it as Matilda, and Emma Thompson is unrecognisably foul as the monstrous Agatha Trunchbull. This film adaptation of the musical play adaptation is a Netflix-funded production, so should be possible to see right now. And with Wonka on the way from the director of Paddington, we hope this is the beginning of a 2020s Dahlaissance.

Mara Wilson expertly narrates a queer horror novel about an evangelical religious community in Montana and the gay conversion therapy camp at its heart. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss this new audiobook from internet sensation Chuck Tingle, read with skill by Mara Wilson. Rose Darling is twenty, and while she never went to Camp Damascus, she knows people who have—they just won't talk about it. The novel takes a sharp turn into the surreal in the first chapter when Rose vomits up mayflies at the dinner table and her parents pass it off as a fluke. Wilson narrates with emotional depth, conveying all of Rose's intelligence, inquisitiveness, and fear as she's hunted by otherworldly beings.

In this new series, Mara Wilson narrates as the audacious heroine Sister Holiday, a queer, tattoo-covered nun brimming with a talent for solving mysteries. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile contributor Kendra Winchester discuss Wilson's incredible performance as this nun with a chip on her shoulder. She creates Sister as a chain-smoking paradox, and listeners will be delighted with the depth of her emotional range as she delivers Sister's dialogue. It's a hard-boiled, sexy, and sometimes very funny whodunit. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by Zando.

Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, and Daniel Radcliffe are all survivors of today's "cult," and so is our guest, Mara Wilson, star of 1990s cinematic classics like Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire. Mara was only five years old when she started appearing in major commercials, and the next ten years of her life were a dream come true—full of glamour and accolades... and intense pressures, isolation, creepy stalkers, and other shocking experiences that make the world of child stars seem VERY culty. This week, with Mara's help, Amanda and Isa attempt to figure out if this secretive wing of the entertainment industry—responsible for what former child star Alyson Stoner once called the "toddler to trainwreck pipeline"—is as cult-like as it seems.

Mara Wilson (writer, actor - Mrs. Doubtfire, Matilda ) opens up about body dysmorphia, living with severe OCD, and the grief of losing her mother at an early age. She details what it was like working with the late, great Robin Williams on Mrs. Doubtfire, her struggle to overcome her "cute" image she became well-known for during those years, and how that fed into her body dysmorphia. Mara discusses growing up a sensitive child, her family's own intergenerational trauma and how it tied into her own mental health struggles, imposter syndrome, and living up to labels. She considers her experiences with therapy and medication, her spiritual journey, and the differences between dating boys and girls. Mayim and Mara debunk the myths of severe OCD and explain what living with it is really like.Mara Wilson's Book, Where Am I Now?: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/318758/where-am-i-now-by-mara-wilson/BialikBreakdown.comYouTube.com/mayimbialik
