Peaches, peaches, the magical fruit. ‘James and the Giant Peach’ is dark and delightful, warm and wonderful. You’ll learn the value of found family and have the shit scared out of you by a rhino the size of a storm front. Other takeaway lessons: eat the radioactive wriggling rotini the spooky magic man offers you because only good things can come of that; listen to the sad orphan kid because he’s got some pretty good ideas; maybe don’t kill the spider you find in your bedroom because she’s actually super cool and is essential to your adventure across the Atlantic. The ever-excellent Chad Hatter joins us for a particularly significant childhood favorite and brings the background knowledge that really gives this episode that special feature flair. Just peachy.
