About this listen

"Titanium card? How the cuss did you qualify for this??"

Oh boy, oh boy. We are talkin' Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson, the two most scrumdiddlyumptious storytellers. An absolute phizzwizard.

Topics include Dahl's heroics in WWII, his anti-semitism, his tips for writing, his career in espionage, and how he began writing with the help of C.S. Forester (Not E.M.), James and the Giant Peach, Dahl's children, metaphysics in The BFG, Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach writing at Gipsy House, and Tanner sneaking off from a family reunion to drive to the premiere of Moonrise Kingdom.

We also attempt to rank Wes's other films using a self-conscious tier system and Matt wins cool points for placing Bottle Rocket higher than anticipated.
