An unofficial podcast about the Wonka-verse from two people who didn't think they cared about Willy Wonka until they learned a prequel was being made and it rocked their world. You may think, how much is there to say about Wonka, the most forgettable and most memorable franchise? More than you would ever believe. Join us as we count down to the day of the Wonka Rapture, December 2023. 

Mar 16, 2022

Grab your tissues and call your therapist because we’re diving into the wholesome movie, Paddington! Why is Wonka Watch covering a random movie about an adorable bear trying to find his place in the world? Well! The creators of the movie are the same folks working on Wonka, so come along as we speculate what may crossover from Paddington into Wonka.

To keep up-to-date on all things Wonka, be sure to follow us on TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter @wonkawatch.

We'd love to hear your concerns (it'd be unhealthy if you didn't have any). Email us at wonkarapture@gmail.com
