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. 

Jul 1, 2022

Mega YouTuber MrBeast created a video where he recreated Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory, and then put 10 contestants through a series of tests and trials to see who would win. So, you know what that means . . . we have to cover it! HA. How accurate is MrBeast’s recreation? How angry does this make us? Does MrBeast have to been inducted into the Wonka-verse as our 13th Wonka?
