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. 

Dec 7, 2022

Today, we enter into the Dahlverse and explore Roald Dahl’s book George’s Marvelous Medicine, one of Felicia’s favorite childhood books that is, quite frankly, disturbing. If you’ve ever had the urge to exact revenge on a family member, then this book is for you!

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

If you'd like to help us keep this podcast up and running, you can visit buymeacoffee.com/wonkawatch! All supporters will get a delightful improv song for them on the podcast :).
