The Devil You Know: The Shining vs Colossal
Mara Wilson | Strong Female Leads
Mara Wilson (Matilda, BoJack Horseman) truly feels like a best friend when chatting with her, and can talk about anything with ease and humor. We cover psychological studies, attractive 90s looks, and very specific movie genres in addition to discussing her acting career, her book (which I love) Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, and how she curates such a perfect Twitter feed.
