Book Vs. Movie: Matilda
The 1988 YA Novel Vs. the 2022 Musical Film

"Matilda the Musical" (based on the 1988 Roald Dahl novel) tells the story of Matilda Wormwood, a bright young girl with telekinetic powers. Neglected by her parents and bullied by the tyrannical headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, Matilda finds solace in books and bonds with her kind teacher, Miss Honey. With the support of her friends, Matilda stands up to injustice, ultimately using her powers to bring about change and find a loving home with Miss Honey. It's a tale of empowerment, resilience, and the importance of kindness. Which did we (the Margos) prefer of all of the adaptations?

In this ep, the Margos discuss:

  • The original novel, the 1996 film, and the stage musical 
  • The differences between the different adaptations
  • The cast of the 2022 film includes Alisha Weir (Matilda,) Emma Thompson (Miss Agatha Trunchbull,) Lanasha Lynch (Miss Honey,) Stephen Graham (Mr. Wormwood,) Andrea Riseboro (Mrs. Wormwood,) Sindhu Vee (Mrs. Phelps,) Carl Spencer (Magnus,) Lauren Alexandra (The Acrobat,) Winter Jarrett-Glasspool (Amanda Thripp,) and Andei Shen as Eric.

  • “The Smell of Rebellion”
  • Matilda: The Musical (2022 movie trailer)
