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. 

May 4, 2022

As Wonka Scholars, we decided it was high time we contributed to the Wonka franchise by pitching our clearly superior candy creations! From the delectable to the frightful, these candies are sure to make you say, “Wow, are they okay?” Even more frightening is that the WONKA TRAILER EXISTS OUT THERE IN THE WORLD. AHHHHHHH.

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
