Blockbusters: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Explicit content warning

07/29/21 • 63 min

Finally! Amye convinces Jennie to sit down and watch the beloved 1971 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and it's worth it just to hear her reaction to the dreadful Grandpa Joe. Other discussions include Jeff Bezos and his interesting journey, more Bon Jovi news-whether you want it or not, and get ready Gen X: everything is a test or a trick.

Next Episode

Blockbusters: Children of the Corn

In this 1984 adaptation of the Stephen King short story, a bunch of kids kill all of the adults in a small farm town in Nebraska. Instead of partying and doing normal kid stuff, these kids get real passionate about corn and the upcoming harvest. We discuss our old school field trips and possible exploitation of the Amish, Jennie thinks all gingers look alike, and Amye passionately tries to clear Stephen King's name.
