Also, "Podcast" is a portmanteau of "iPod" and "broadcast". I think the Playable On Demand is a backronym

2025-10-21 02:08:57 +0000 UTCGeorge, if it helps -- the reason everyone keeps mentioning the "limp" moment is because of the trivia aspect you didn't finish explaining -- the reason Wilder insisted on the limp then somersalt was that he wanted to start right away with the idea that Wonka couldn't be trusted -- that he could absolutely fool you at any time. That's why he did the limp/fall. This remains the most faithful (and best) adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, despite Roald Dahl's silly snit fit when the movie came out. The Burton/Depp adaptation is weirdly humorless, and even though the Dahl estate insisted it was the most faithful -- it also includes a creepy, unnecessary, and non-canon Wonka backstory, even if it does include some of the actual Oompa Loompa lyrics (which -- aren't that great?). The entire thing is just an exercise in eccentricity without the warmth or humor of this one -- or of Gene Wilder's timeless interpretation of Wonka, which is whimsical, warm, funny, and a little lonely. Meanwhile, the Chalamet fanfic is sweet, but while it's not a bad movie, all of the music is very "samey" and honestly, it's too sweet to be Wonka for me. Chalamet just seems sort of sparkless and it was like everyone was afraid to make Willy as a character as edgy and fun as he was in the books and Wilder film. For me, this one will always be the best one.

2025-08-29 02:35:15 +0000 UTCThere’s a movie called Jackpot starring Awkwafina and John Cena where the premise is people trying to kill the lottery winner. I enjoyed it but I don’t know if there’d be any interest for the channel.

2025-08-24 15:45:49 +0000 UTCI now want Wonka to be a sith lord and this is how he auditions for an apprentice.

Peter Dillard
2025-08-24 03:37:40 +0000 UTCAmong the many oddities in this movie seems to be a reference to Operation Paperclip. The fraudulent winner is a picture of a nazi located in Paraguay. I like the implication that even a nazi would risk exposing themselves if it meant getting a tour of Wonka’s chocolate factory.

Cameron
2025-08-23 22:16:49 +0000 UTCFor some reason, it turns on automatically, but only on certains youtube channels. That doesn't happen to me with Cinebinge tho. It's terrible, I don't understand how would anyone prefer to listen to a robotic voice instead of better subtitles.

2025-08-23 19:56:30 +0000 UTCSo about the portrayal of the children in this movie, and its effect. In the two decades before this movie came out, the average US fertility rate was over 3.17. In the two decades after this movie came out, the average US fertility rate was under 1.88. I rest my case. :-) ?

2025-08-23 19:38:23 +0000 UTCRoald Dahl's story is wild. WW2 fighter pilot for the RAF, later became a spy working in DC, and in that position used his charms to woo important women and sleep with them in order to get secrets and try to influence them.

2025-08-23 19:12:09 +0000 UTCNot to mention, of course, Gobstoppers. Sadly they don't actually look like the ones in the movie, though, which has always been disappointing.
Jeff K
2025-08-23 16:56:24 +0000 UTCOh and Simone picking up on the Wonka reference in Super Troopers reminds me: I hope that next time one of you visits the other, you pick up some beers and watch Beerfest, which is actually my favorite Broken Lizard movie by a pretty wide margin (Super Troopers is actually only #3 for me; I'm a big fan of Club Dread).
Jeff K
2025-08-23 16:00:48 +0000 UTCAh, such a classic. This is one of those children’s stories that has layers of deliberate socio-political commentary. In addition to the whacky factory shenanigans, we see that most of the people who finds the tickets in the first place are wealthy people who game the system. They can afford to spend money on buying candy bar after candy bar that they have no intention of eating, and wasting their time opening them as well (Or having staff do it for them). Charlie was even originally supposed to be black to hammer home the messaging even more, but that was forced to be changed. Perhaps the wildest bit of behind-the-scenes trivia/darkest joke is that the picture they use for the man who faked finding the ticket is actually a picture of Martin Bormann, Adolf Hitler’s personal secretary. The fate of Bormann was unknown at the time they made the film, with many theories that he had escaped Europe at the end of WWII and was living somewhere in South America. So they put this in to say that he had cooked up a scheme to fake a ticket. Martin Bormann had actually died in May of 1945, but his remains weren’t found until the ‘70s and it wasn’t confirmed until the ‘90s.

2025-08-23 15:42:19 +0000 UTCYou two are peas in a pod - not. There is a theory that Snowpiercer is the sequel.

2025-08-23 15:27:07 +0000 UTCThere are actual Wonka candy products for sale and most of them are pretty good. I believe Nestle owns them but kept the name. Some of their candies are fun dips, bottlecaps, laffy taffy and actual Wonka bars.
Nick Scholz
2025-08-23 15:25:07 +0000 UTCYou guys mentioned in the trivia about how no one knew Gene Wilder was going to do his little forward roll beforehand, another layer to that is that Wilder chose to have Wonka's intro be a bit of a deception, going from frail to spry and acrobatic to show that in his factory, nothing is what it seems. Also: you might remember in a third season episode of Ted Lasso, Higgins references the kids in Willy Wonka and says, "I'm sorry Rebecca, but those children are dead." Final tidbit: this was the first and only film role for Peter Ostrum. He turned down a three film deal with the studio and ended up becoming a veterinarian instead.

2025-08-23 15:04:33 +0000 UTCTrue story, Roald Dahl, the author of the source novel wrote the screenplay of “You Only Live Twice.”
Stuart Sutcliffe
2025-08-23 15:03:07 +0000 UTCNot really. A comedian wrote an article for Cracked, and the internet did what it does best. Ignored all context, and spread it everywhere as fact. Good breakdown here: https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2017/10/whats-a-snozzberry/

2025-08-23 14:48:36 +0000 UTCI haven’t seen the Chamalmet one yet, but my brother was watching the Depp version on network TV after it left theaters and I could only stand about 10 minutes before I had to leave the room.

2025-08-23 13:54:33 +0000 UTC8:08 ~ The computer operator ("What would a computer do with a life-time suppy of chocolate?) was played by Tim Brooke-Taylor, a member of the comedy troupe "The Goodies" whoes TV series of the same name ran for 9 years and had me in stitches for pretty much my whole childhood. If you can find it, I highly recommend reacting to it. 15:34 ~ "I know this is not a Final Destination movie..." said George, right before the kids started leaving the movie, one-by-one, in increasingly bizarre ways.... As for the other Wonka movies; the Timothee Chalamet one is excellent, the Johnny Depp one... well... to each their own, I guess.
Lachlan Caldwell
2025-08-23 13:31:59 +0000 UTCWorst candy- those orange circus peanuts. My favorite? Reese sticks- wafers with pb in the middle, covered in chocolate. So glad Simone caught the Snozzberry connection to Super Troopers.

2025-08-23 13:08:27 +0000 UTCAwww, as much as I love 'sexy-George-as-a-girl' photo-shops, this has to be one of my all time favourites. You got the expression just right, Simone, well done!
Mike FromOz
2025-08-23 13:05:49 +0000 UTCThe Tim Burton one is more text accurate, but no soul. And the Burton take on Wonka is completely wrong. This is far closer to the book in spirit.
