Aunque en su estreno cinematográfico la película pasó "sin pena ni gloria", el formato de vídeo doméstico la convirtió en una pieza de culto para la generación milenial. La cinta, que cumple ahora 30 años, narra la historia de una niña con una mente privilegiada y poderes telequinéticos que encuentra en los libros y las bibliotecas un refugio ante el desinterés de sus padres. Dirigida por Danny DeVito, quien también protagoniza el filme junto a su esposa Rhea Perlman, la obra es valorada por ser una adaptación fiel del libro de Roald Dahl y por utilizar efectos especiales rudimentarios que han permitido que la película no envejezca. Además, el rodaje estuvo marcado por la emotiva relación entre el elenco, ya que DeVito y Perlman cuidaron de la protagonista, Mara Wilson, tras el fallecimiento de su madre durante la producción.

Continuing on with Roald Dahl's Danny the Champion of the World, chatting with Olivia Tennet about the new Kiri & Lou feature at the NZIFF, and Lee has trouble with the phones.

Spine 700, can you believe it? We've been doing this for a long time. Criterion rewards our dedication with an overly full release of Wes Anderson's adaptation of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009). Mark Gustafson is animation director of this animated movie, but this is less a Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas situation than a Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio, the former of which is a Henry Selick movie that gets mistakenly attributed to the producer and the later of which Gustafson actually has credited co-director status on because Del Toro respects artists. Gustafson and the animation team bring Wes Anderson's vision to life to create one of the most Wes Anderson-y movies Wes Anderson has ever made.

Can heartbreak change who you are forever? Or is the real challenge making sure it doesn't? In this episode of QUESTION EVERYTHING, Danielle sits down with writer, storyteller, and Love Island USA: Aftersun host Tefi Pessoa for an unforgettable conversation about heartbreak, healing, and the version of yourself you lose after being hurt. Most people think heartbreak is about grieving another person. Tefi argues it's often about grieving the person you were before they broke your trust, the version of yourself that loved easily, believed people, and wasn't afraid to hope. Together, Danielle and Tefi explore how to move through heartbreak without becoming cynical, why protecting your tenderness matters more than protecting your pride, and how to heal without losing yourself in the process. What she's learned from her own heartbreak. Why love is still worth believing in after being hurt. How to keep heartbreak from hardening your heart. How she refuses to compromise who she is in relationships. Why she turns to her "tribe" before ending a relationship. What we're often really mourning after a breakup. How to recognize the traits in someone that are unlikely to change. When it's worth listening to friends who tell you, "You can do better." What it's like navigating heartbreak in the public eye. Why there's courage in choosing an ordinary, authentic life. How men and women often experience heartbreak differently. Tefi’s Book Recommendation: Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl.

Was that the shortest episode yet? Maybe, but we've still got plenty to talk about.Was this some of the darkest imagery yet? Yes, probably. But it was also the perfect place to end the episode. Harry gives us some insight into how he wrote and assigned these little vignettes, and how exposing it can be to share something like this at the table. It's been a while since Harry has given this much story time, and he kept the Spoiler Chat channel in our Discord server working overtime.We talk about how TV and film influence Harry's storytelling, especially in this episode. Was our money on the 1989 movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic The BFG being one of the inspirations? No. Were we surprised? Also no.Finally, we discuss some of the things Raidion has seen, and what they mean for him, how we're so totally over messages on trees, and why hand waving is both beautiful and important, and totally ok to do.--Support us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/naturalsixJoin our Discord! https://discord.gg/HNV56DADnJFollow us on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/naturalsixFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natural_sixFollow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natural.sixLove lore?

"I wrote a book and tried to find an agent and did not succeed. I wrote a second book that got an agent and no sales. I wrote a third book — it didn't even get nice rejection letters. I wrote a fourth book and it sold in three days." — April Henry --- ABOUT THIS EPISODE April Henry is the New York Times bestselling author of over thirty mysteries and thrillers, including Girl Stolen, Girl Forgotten, and Two Truths and a Lie. Her latest novel, In the Blood, follows Tessa, an adopted high school senior who takes a DNA test and discovers her biological father is a serial killer the Portland police have been hunting for over a decade. April's own origin story is just as compelling: at nine years old she killed off a character named Maggie in her first short story, then sent a tale about a six-foot frog to Roald Dahl — who wrote back, took it to lunch with his editor, and got it published in England. Mike and April talk about the nine-year journey to her first published novel, running through the woods in handcuffs for research, the nature-versus-nurture question at the heart of In the Blood, how AI is changing the publishing landscape, and why the best compliment a writer can get is "I stayed up till two in the morning." --- KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Roald Dahl made her believe she was a writer. At nine, April sent a story about a six-foot frog named Herman to Roald Dahl. He wrote back, showed it to his editor, and it was published in Puffin Post. That validation stuck — even though it would be decades before she published again. 2. Four books, nine years, one overnight success. Book one: no agent. Book two: agent, no sale. Book three: not even nice rejection letters. Book four: sold in three days. April's stubbornness and "willful optimism" kept her going when the math didn't add up. 3. A bad library book reignited the spark. After years of not writing, April read a terrible novel from a major publisher and thought: if that's the bar, I can clear it. That anger became motivation. 4. Research means running in handcuffs. April has taken knife-fighting classes, a three-day kidnapping escape course, and attended the Writers Police Academy. She learned that blood-test solution smells like rubbing alcohol — a sensory detail no textbook would ever mention. 5. DNA and family secrets inspired In the Blood. After inheriting old family photos she couldn't identify, April built a family tree and uncovered buried secrets. That curiosity, combined with the rise of consumer DNA testing, became the engine of the novel. 6. Nature versus nurture is the real question. April read memoirs by daughters of serial killers and studied the Minnesota Twins Separated at Birth study. Heredity influences more than we'd like to admit — down to identical twins who independently loved eating ketchup plain. 7. Cold-emailing experts works — if you've done your homework. April reached out to genetic genealogist Leah Larkin (The DNA Geek) with specific questions, not "explain DNA to me." People love to talk about their expertise when you show you've already put in the work. 8. The industry has changed dramatically. When April started, there was no internet, no ebooks, and research meant green-bound periodical guides at the library. Now there's more competition for attention, publishers are more cautious, and 35% of middle and high school students say they actively don't like to read. 9. AI is a double-edged sword for young writers. April caught a seventh grader passing off AI-generated text as his own — tipped off by correct semicolons. Her worry: if young writers lean on AI, they'll never do the hard work that actually teaches you the craft. 10. Trust your gut — that's the takeaway she writes for. April wants teen readers to finish her books believing they could think their way out of a bad situation, and that if something feels off, it probably is. --- GET THE BOOK In the Blood by April Henry (released May 2025) Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=In+the+Blood+April+Henry&tag=rettocasgra-20 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/in+the+blood+april+henry Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/54587/s/in+the+blood+april+henry Also by April Henry: Girl Stolen, Girl Forgotten, Two Truths and a Lie, and 27+ more --- CONNECT WITH APRIL Website: https://aprilhenry.com TikTok: @aprilhenrybooks — https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilhenrybooks TikTok (writing advice): @aprilhenrywritingadvice — https://www.tiktok.com/@aprilhenrywritingadvice Instagram: @aprilhenrybooks — https://www.instagram.com/aprilhenrybooks Facebook: April Henry — https://www.facebook.com/aprilhenrybooks Bluesky: @aprilhenry — https://bsky.app/profile/aprilhenry --- CONNECT WITH YOUR HOST Mike Carlon | Uncorking a Story Website: https://uncorkingastory.com YouTube: @uncorkingastory — https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: @uncorkingastory — https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: Uncorking a Story — https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: @uncorkingastory — https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter/X: @uncorkingastory — https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: Uncorking a Story — https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ SUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A REVIEW — It helps more readers and writers find the show!

‘La máquina del sonido’ nos presenta a Klausner, un inventor obsesionado con una idea aparentemente absurda: la existencia de sonidos que el ser humano no puede percibir. Igual que un perro oye frecuencias vedadas para nosotros, quizá haya todo un universo acústico escondido más allá de nuestros límites biológicos.

In this episode of Half Hour, we discuss the Broadway production of Giant, now playing at the Music Box Theatre. Written by Mark Rosenblatt and directed by Nicholas Hytner, the play centers on a pivotal chapter in the life of Roald Dahl, examining the tension between artistic legacy and personal controversy. We take a deeper dive into the play's structure and focus, breaking down how its contained timeline shapes the narrative and leaves space for audience interpretation. We also discuss John Lithgow's performance as Dahl, and how the production balances charm, discomfort, and confrontation in its portrayal. The conversation explores the design, direction, and overall staging choices, as well as the production's reception and Tony Awards recognition, including nominations for Best Play and Best Direction. We consider how Giant positions itself within the current Broadway landscape and what it asks of its audience.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete's ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete's “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired.The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”.Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham's vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they'd take if stranded forever. There's also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner.00:00 Portugal Detox & Party Recovery 01:14 Peter Gets Humbled At Tennis 03:00 “Consistency Is Key In Tennis” 04:31 Ross Update & Listener Messages 04:58 Abbey Hates Seeing Pete Lose 05:26 Abbey's Fear Of Tennis Lessons 06:27 Abbey Opens Up About Childhood & Sport 07:20 Abbey vs Peter: Ultimate Sports Day 08:31 The Couple Argument Everyone Has 10:11 Abbey's Strict Family Diary System 12:03 Why Busy Couples Always Clash 12:49 The Weirdest Relationship Ick 13:28 Running Up Stairs Debate 15:14 Abbey Reveals Her Biggest Insecurity 15:45 Abbey Discovers A “Normal” Listener 16:26 Abbey's Celebrity Lookalike Debate 18:05 Couples Sharing Hobbies Goes Wrong 19:14 TV Shows They Refuse To Watch Together 20:37 Hunger Games & Comfort Movies 21:39 The Best Holiday Advice Ever 22:52 Tail's.com Ad Read 24:28 Desert Island Dilemmas Begin 25:35 The One Book They'd Save Forever 27:31 Roald Dahl & Childhood Reading Memories 28:07 Abbey's Disturbing Book Confession 30:15 The Secret To Getting Kids Reading 30:55 Desert Island Albums 31:41 Oasis, Nostalgia & Dad Rock Arguments 34:04 Abbey's Beckham Garden Obsession 35:34 Doomscrolling & “Ignorance Is Bliss” 36:19 Peter's James Bond Fantasy Life 36:40 Peter's Visit To Eton 37:49 Inside Eton's Incredible Traditions 39:15 What Makes Privileged Kids Different? 41:02 The Reality Of Elite Schools 42:40 The Team Debate Luxury & Success 44:18 What They'd Actually Miss On A Desert Island 46:03 Desert Island Guilty Pleasures 47:51 Holiday Packing Essentials 49:20 Things Couples Secretly Judge Each Other For 51:08 Their Most Addictive Habits 52:44 Listener Dilemmas Return 54:33 Final Portugal Reflections 56:17 EndTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Shrink Solves Murder is the first novel by the artist and psychotherapist Philippa Perry. She talks to Anita Rani about her new book and protagonist Patricia Philipps, who like Philippa is also a psychotherapist. However the similarity ends when Patricia turns sleuth after one of her patients turns up dead. Two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green in north London yesterday, in an incident police are treating as a terrorist incident. The attack took place in an area with a large Jewish population and comes amid a wider rise in antisemitic incidents across the UK. The government's independent adviser on terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall KC, has said attacks targeting Jewish people now represent "the biggest national security emergency" in almost a decade. To talk more about the impact on families, children and communities we are joined by Debbie Fox, the chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, which represents the largest Jewish organisations in the UK.The NHS says there are around 6,000 children born each year in the UK with genetic conditions so rare they remain undiagnosed and unnamed. This group of children, known as SWAN children, Syndromes Without A Name, have complex medical needs. Ten years ago Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity funded the world's first nurse specialising in this area at Great Ormond Street. They have now secured a second post. We hear from SWAN nurses Anna Jewitt and Lucy Michaels along with Tali Drumgoon, the mother of Roscoe who is undiagnosed and who's under the care of the SWAN nurses at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Simone Pennant, the founder and CEO of The TV Collective, has just been presented with the 2026 BAFTA Television Craft Special Award at this year's ceremony. It was in recognition for her outstanding contribution, championing diversity within the screen industries. She joins us to discuss her work and what it means to receive the award.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Andrea Kidd

The new play “Giant,” on Broadway, dramatizes the scandal around Roald Dahl, the beloved children's-book author who, in the nineteen-eighties, began making antisemitic statements and invoking stereotypes about Jewish influence. John Lithgow portrays Dahl as he faces off against his American publisher, who presses him to retract his statements. The events that the show focusses on took place more than forty years ago, but they couldn't be more relevant today, as antisemitism surges during a war in the Middle East. Lithgow joins David Remnick to discuss the question of whether to separate the art from the artist—and about his own hesitation regarding his role as the wizard Dumbledore in HBO's new “Harry Potter” series, because of J. K. Rowling's history of anti-trans statements.    Further reading:  “‘Giant' Takes on Roald Dahl and his Antisemitism,” by John Lahr   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Aaron Tracy joins to talk about The Secret World of Roald Dahl, his podcast about the children's author as war spy, improvised medical inventor, and world-class fabulist with a vicious streak. The conversation gets into Dahl's improbable second act as a children's writer, the darkness that made books like James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory endure, and the harder question of how to reckon with his explicit anti-Semitism. Also, a look at why Ronald Reagan sold the Grenada invasion to the public in a way recent presidents have not matched, and why Americans can sometimes be rallied by a rationale as much as by the facts.
