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. 

Feb 9, 2022

Is it getting hot in here? Or did I just shove a handful of warming candies in my mouth and now I’m burning alive? Bust out your spectacles and find a cozy chair because we’re gathering the book club for two deleted chapters from the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory manuscript. Enjoy more dangerous candies and a new level of evil from our favorite chocolatier, Roald 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

If you'd like to support this podcast, you can buy us a chocolate bar at www.buymeacoffee.com/wonkawatch This helps us gather more Wonka materials/media and helps keep this podcast going. Thank you!
