And what darkness from his covert past seeped into the stories we read as kids?

The true story is stranger than anything he ever wrote.

Listen to The Secret World of Roald Dahl on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah, also a great question.

There's kind of two times, I'd say, because actually the first real moment, I think, again, putting aside, oh my God, the pipe, we shot this, the crew laughed.

Oh God, we have something, you know, putting aside the table read that we hear for the first time and you go, oh, this is special.

Putting aside all those moments, I'd say one that really stands out is when the Red Band trailer came out.

So in like-

January or something.

We shot it in the summer and it came out in the summer.

It was one year.

And, and in like that winter time, they released the red band trailer, which if you remember, red band trailers were a very big deal.

It was awesome.

You'd go to the movie theater and you'd see the previews and that'd be like, you know, green, giant green screen.

The following preview is rated PG and you see the trailer.

And then very occasionally the screen would be all red and you'd be like,

What is this?

What's happening here?

And the trailer itself was rated R and it could only be seen before other R rated movies.

And that got sort of that became viral in the very beginning days of virality.
