94: Mrs. Doubtfire & Matilda
2026/03/13
It's a Mara Wilson double feature today as we cover two 1990s classics, Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda. Join us as we squee over tiny overalls and swoon over mixed plaids. Editor's note: JoJo's lovely kids were part of our recording session, and as a result there was a lot of background noise to be edited out. I ran it through a noise remover, and so at times she sounds a little over-processed and robotic, but trust me, it sounds better than it did! Thank you for your understanding.
