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. 

Apr 6, 2022

After finishing his morning cup of simple syrup, Willy Wonka headed straight to the delivery truck with a box tucked under his arm containing six chocolate bars. They would be shipped across space and time (”Take that, FedEx!”) to six particular people. The one thing they have in common?

They are all characters played by Timothée Chalamet.

What lies in store for our brave factory goers? Which Timmy will triumph? What is Wonka up to?
