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.

Do you know what Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) was missing? Hilarious physical comedy from an animated cat and mouse! We analyze the (unnecessary, unwanted, uninspiring) movie Tom and Jerry: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Hot takes, angst, and eye rolls accompany this episode. ENJOY.

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
