The Nightmare Before Christmas is back in theaters, celebrating its 30th anniversary. The film, directed by Henry Selick and produced by Tim Burton, was not a smash hit upon its release, but has become something of a holiday classic over the years. And while there is some debate as to whether it counts as a Halloween movie or a Christmas movie, its spooky themes draw many viewers back to the film every October.
NPR's Scott Detrow spoke with Todd Lookinland, the set builder for The Nightmare Before Christmas, and writer and film critic Jordan Crucchiola, about the enduring legacy of film.

Everything Everywhere Daily - What is Calculus?
As early as 2400 years ago, Greek philosophers were coming up with paradoxes that seemingly had no solution.
Early mathematicians came up with problems that seemed impossible to solve.
It wasn’t until the 17th century that the techniques were finally developed to solve these problems and unlock new fields of science and mathematics.
Learn more about calculus, what it is, and what it attempts to do on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - The Overlooked Mathematicians of History
Conventional histories of mathematics are dominated by well-known names like Pythagoras, Leibniz or Newton. But to concentrate solely on figures from Europe gives us only a patchwork understanding of the rich and varied history of mathematical achievement around the world. Tim Harford speaks to Dr Kate Kitagawa, co-author of ?The Secret Lives of Numbers? to explore the long history of mathematical advances and innovation across civilisations and centuries, from the female mathematician at court in imperial China to the pioneers in the mathematical powerhouses of the Middle East in the first millennium AD.
Presenter: Tim Harford Producer: Jon Bithrey Editor: Richard Vadon Sound Engineer: James Beard
