- TV & Film
Fine. Fine. No problem at all. We'll talk about the actual movie.
Also: Happy holidays! Thank you for a great year! We'd normally have an episode coming out on Friday, Dec. 22, but we're taking a break and shall return on Friday, December 29 with a very special mailbag episode. And after that, we're on to episodes 99 and 100, where we'll revisit the movies covered on our very first episode (Dirty Dancing and Star Wars). It only took us seven years to get to a hundred episodes.
Time stamps:
00:02:15 — Thoughts about the new movie Wonka, which we haven't yet seen
00:08:59 — Our histories with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
00:11:43 — Pre-movie predictions
00:23:23 — History segment: Roald Dahl (author of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory), the strange development of this movie and its entanglement with the Quaker Oats company, director Mel Stuart, and star Gene Wilder
01:00:47 — In-depth movie discussion
02:12:06 — Final thoughts and star ratings
