Hello and welcome to the we Recommend podcast, a movie podcast where every week, we recommend a movie for you to watch and then come back here and listen to us discuss. I'm Jesse, I'm Jason. We have so much time and so little to see. Wait a minute. Strike that and reverse it, thank you. We recommend Willy Wonka the chocolate factory. So you've seen this before, right, hell, yeah, okay, cool. Sometimes I'm just like I don't know if Jason's seen this movie or not.
Speaker 2:I don't think I've ever seen it on, like I'd only ever seen it on television.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think it was the first time watching it.
Speaker 1:Without ads and stuff. Yeah, commercial breaks and stuff. That's funny because one of the Oompa Loompas songs is like don't watch TV, you read books and stuff. They have no commercials.
Speaker 2:And do you think they know how to read? I doubt it, yeah they can.
Speaker 1:I mean, they got to read like the ingredients on their stuff that they're pouring right. I'm sure they got recipes they got to read. I disagree.
Speaker 2:Maybe only one knows how to read.
Speaker 1:I love the Oompa Loompas. Like they have no expressions or emotions. It's so weird when you see them seeing. It's like they're just straight faced the whole time and it's like can they have emotions? Are they brainwashed by Willy Wonka In this movie? I think they might. I think they might be. Yeah, this guy's a straight up freak. So the movie's directed by what's his name? Mel Stewart? I actually don't know him. No, he did like Welcome Back, Cotter or whatever. I think that's the only thing I've ever heard of that he's done.
Speaker 2:I mean there's a few other ones, but I can't really remember them.
Speaker 1:What was it like 1962? This movie is 1971. 1971? Yeah, yeah, he's probably dead Starring Gene Wilder. Do you love Gene Wilder? I love Gene Wilder, I love Gene Wilder and love Gene Wilder. So you've seen the three, so you've seen the well, so you know that. Do you know who Timothy Shalame is?
Speaker 2:Probably I've seen him.
Speaker 1:You see Dune, yeah, okay, he's the guy that's. He's the main character in Dune.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, and he's going to be the new Wonka.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's the new Wonka that's coming out the same day that this is released. Hell, yeah, yeah, boy, it's going to be like the Freakool. So Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, timothy Shalame as Willy Wonka who's hotter?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Probably Johnny Depp Wrong. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure. He's a very strong Gene Wilder.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's got everyone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's a very handsome man. Yeah, he's just so funny. Yes, he's so sarcastic and just a little he's a douchebag.
Speaker 2:I love it, is he?
Speaker 1:He just like does small little things that are so annoying throughout this film and I was like whenever they're walking down the stairs to get into the, the, the room where you can eat everything, and he's like constantly like stopping people.
Speaker 2:Yes, and it's like I love it. He's just building that suspense, yeah.
Speaker 1:It's so great it also stars Jack Albertson as Grandpa.
Speaker 2:Joe, grandpa Joe. And who's this? You know, the wife of Josephine.
Speaker 1:We'll get to Joe soon. We'll get to old Grandpa Joe. You got. Peter Ostrom Plays Charlie. Roy Keener, mr Salt, julie Don Cole Veruca Salt. Leonard Sohn as Mr Beauregard and then Denise Nickerson as Violet Beauregard, nora Denny as Ms TV. Oh, in my notes I just put TV, so it's very weird when I watch TV.
Speaker 2:That's how it sounds is named too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's true Paris Themen as Mike TV, Ursula Wright as Mrs Gloop and Michelle Michael Bohnler as Augustus. Gloop, Gloop, Gloop. I kept saying Goop Like I kept putting in my notes Goop, Augustus Goop. Yeah, it's like, I'm Augustus Goop, so you like this movie, correct? I love it. Yeah, I really like man. It's weird and colorful, Like as a kid, I it's. I mean, I guess this is because I watched horror movies pretty early as a kid, but as an adult, if I just scarier than. I do as a kid.
Speaker 1:I don't like. I just didn't realize how weird it was as a kid. I don't think.
Speaker 2:No, I was like oh no this is normal.
Speaker 1:This is how things should be right. Yeah, yeah Going and people getting sucked up or whatever it's like. It's funny. It is kind of a perfect kids movie, but I feel like it's.
Speaker 2:But even as, even as a kid, you're just like these kids are dropping like flies and you don't even think about it. Yeah, you're just like, oh well, he's gone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's wild, it's I would. I think I'd been. I don't know. I'm trying to think if I would have survived. Do you think you would have as a kid if you weren't here? Or you think you yeah, I think I would have survived, though.
Speaker 2:You would have eaten anything at all.
Speaker 1:I was good at following rules, you know I don't know that I was always told that I was kind of a little bit of a brat as a kid and they're like I think I remember like my parents being like I don't know, we're kind of worried about them and then I turned out to be relatively normal, I guess, when I got older.
Speaker 2:Relatively yeah.
Speaker 1:No, but I love this movie and it's probably one of my favorite musicals, at least in the top five. Yeah, it's great. As far as I know, only singing the rain beats it as I'm thinking right now. So yeah, it's just different.
Speaker 2:I think, yeah, totally different tone.
Speaker 1:I mean, there's only one bad song. Which one is that? The mother song, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's so boring and out of nowhere.
Speaker 1:And it's like when I got to it to take notes, it's like skip 15 seconds, Skip 15 seconds, Skip 15 seconds Smile Charlie. Smile. It's just I don't know the pacing of it. It's like come on, let's get through. Let's get to the one.
Speaker 2:I didn't realize as a child the beginning before they get into the factory takes a long time.
Speaker 1:It does take a long time. There's some great bits in it, like the teacher who's hilarious.
Speaker 2:I love that guy.
Speaker 1:And I do like the very first song. You know, the Candyman Can. That's a really good one and a lot of the like, the guy who's like his therapist and the guy's like. You saw a dream. Where's the chocolate bar? Tell me the weird little computer thing. It's like I'll tell us computer where I can put the chocolate. It's like, dude, you're arguing with the computer. What are you doing? So this is a raw raw doll book.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's just our second or third raw doll like movie based.
Speaker 1:This is the second Because it was just fantastic, fantastic. Mr Fox, yeah, we're a bunch of raw doll heads. Have you ever read any of the books?
Speaker 2:of his? Yeah, I think so. I think we had him at. We did some at school, you know we did. He did a poetry book. I didn't know that, so I think it was like where the sidewalk ends.
Speaker 1:We always used to do that. That's cool.
Speaker 2:Read that stuff in the elementary school.
Speaker 1:I'm bummed out because, like we never read anything like this in elementary school, we never read this one. We never read anything cool in elementary as far as I can remember. Yeah, bummer, bummer, it's like force me to read Roald Dahl, dude. I think we had the books, that is. I don't remember ever being read to or reading any of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, books are book level boring, book level boring.
Speaker 1:I'd rather watch TV, like Mike TV I got my boy. So Roald Dahl envisioned the Willy Wonka in his book to be more hard, cold and British eccentric, who gave off the illusion that he was a creative genius. Dahl didn't approve of Wilder for the on screen part. He felt that Wilder's portrayal was a little too soft and didn't fit the vision in his head when he wrote it. Which it's like. What do you mean? This guy's a psychopath Like. He might have been like softer, but he wasn't like I don't. He doesn't seem nice until the very end, right, I wouldn't consider this guy a nice guy. He seems like he might be a bit of a sociopath. And Wilder only agreed to do the movie on one condition he wanted to do a somersault Wonka's opening scene. He felt that it would be a great way to set up the tone of the unpredictable, spontaneous personality he was about to portray. Though Willy Wonka never actually somersaults in the book, fans love the Wilder version.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I guess. I mean it was kind of it was awkward seeing that scene as an adult, like I don't know. He just does like a little roll and everyone's like cheering like crazy.
Speaker 1:I thought it was weird how everybody was so bummed out that he had a limp. It's like really, I mean, the guy can have a limp and still be a great chocolate maker right. Who is this handy cat asshole?
Speaker 2:It's like you know what actually.
Speaker 1:I hate this. I love his chocolate, but now that he limps I don't like him. You know what I'm leaving? He's got a terrible cane. Though that thing bends like nobody's business, it's very good of me.
Speaker 2:Almost like it's not real yeah.
Speaker 1:It's made out of chocolate, probably, so. The Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie highlights the ways that imagination, creativity and belief that the best things are yet to come are what can keep a youthful soul alive. However, many Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book lovers are quick to point out that the novel represents a darker commentary. In reality, willy Wonka can be interpreted as a representative of the elite. He runs a factory that operates on the labors of others and benefits from sales marketed towards the young. It's a classic critique of wealth building and, through though mass, by bright colors and lighthearted songs, the film still allows for Wonka to represent this too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he does kind of operate on slave labor.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and as I was like watching it this time, I was like huh, I feel like this especially when he's like everybody go out and buy all the chocolate. I'm like dude. No wonder Wonka at the end of this is like yeah, I'm actually kind of done because I just made $5 billion in like three weeks I was like, oh, I see what's going on here.
Speaker 1:So in the scene where Wonka has the children ride a boat over the chocolate river and through a tunnel, the candy maker Wonka begins to show signs of his imaginations that might imply he's some sort of crazy genius.
Speaker 2:Or he puts like acid and all the chocolate that they were all eating just a second ago Must have.
Speaker 1:When filming the scene, Gene Wilder had never rehearsed it in front of his co-stars and kept many of his acting choices a secret until he was in front of the camera. This resulting, his resulting performance seemed so realistic that many of the children on set believe that Wilder might have actually been going crazy.
Speaker 2:But he was just his acting skills.
Speaker 1:They're all truly afraid. They're like wait, what is this? Like no one told us we're going to see, I don't know, cinapedes and stuff all over the walls.
Speaker 2:That was wild. Super close-ups of crabs and stuff, or a chicken, get his head chopped off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, they're like what is this?
Speaker 1:What is this? What's the point this is supposed to be proving in the film. So the book states that the river that flows through Wonka's factory is made of sweet chocolate. However, for the film, the river on the factory set wasn't completely chocolate. Half of the river you'll see in the film is made up of water and cream. The water and cream were then mixed with melted chocolate. Many parts of the set at Wonka's factory remained hidden. In the scene where the children see the factory for the first time, are the actor's genuine reactions Sweet? Unfortunately, the chocolate river spoiled quickly and left an awful smell on set. Oh, gross. Well, if you put cream in it, of course it's going to stink.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like maybe they didn't think this one through.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like this is going to look so good visually and like now, I'm sure in the let's use real milk, the new Wonka and the new Wonka movie, I'm sure it's it's gonna be CGI or whatever it is.
Speaker 2:Probably gonna look terrible, though it's not like shit right.
Speaker 1:Oh, I don't know. This would have been the part where I'm like come on, wonky, you got at least give us a straw or something. We got to try this chocolate in this river, right.
Speaker 2:It's like it's just the metaphor star. This is just the river that actually goes through London. Yeah.
Speaker 1:It is actually a poop filled river.
Speaker 2:It looks like all the time.
Speaker 1:But I mean, I mean, come on, just, there's no better mixer than a waterfall, oh yeah. So melster the, the director, revealed that it was his daughter, madeline, who inspired him to turn the novel into a movie. She had mentioned that it was her favorite book and it would be great story to put on screen. And that is how the 1971 film, classic film, was made. Unfortunately, roll doll ended up disliking the final version of the film, though he was brought on to write the original draft of the screenplay. It was reported that he was unhappy with many of the small changes made on screen. Looking on the bright side, movie lovers and book lovers now have both works of art to turn to fuck. Yeah, yeah, and it's great. And my favorite Little fact that I got my last one that oompa loompas were known for parting very hard offset. Yeah, even traveling in a limo together to go to bars Hell, yeah, that's awesome. I hope they didn't even take off their makeup or anything.
Speaker 2:I hope they just left it on that'd been great. Just walking on the bar everybody.
Speaker 1:Why are they orange? Where they have the dopest costumes I've ever seen in my life? They're, yeah, just flashing stacks of cash. Yeah, just like this are oompa loompa money baby. We just saw a kid get sucked up in a pipe.
Speaker 2:It's coming to the bar. Oompa loompa.
Speaker 1:They just walk in with violet still blowed up, just like pushing her in Be so awesome. All right, man ready to hop into this?
Speaker 2:film cool.
Speaker 1:So the film opens with some delicious dang chocolates being made. Yeah, look like a Hershey Christmas. That's great. I love that part. It made me, it made it's. My mouth is watering.
Speaker 1:I'm just kind of soothing to watch. I will say this movie gets like the deliciousness of chocolate just right, like when they open a Wonka bar and and it just like opens up and like it looks so much better than any candy bar I've ever seen in my life. Yeah right, because it's supposed to look like, I mean similar to like Hershey's chocolate bar, but I've never opened up a Hershey's chocolate bar and been like Whoa, I know me neither.
Speaker 2:They're a little too thin most of the chocolate that we have here Sucks ass compared to like the other parts of the world.
Speaker 1:Oh really, yeah, I don't think I've ever tried. Well, no, that's.
Speaker 2:American chocolate. Like everybody knows that American chocolate sucks ass.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is it because they put too much sweetener in it. I don't know, much bigger Maybe, don't know, cuz I feel like that's my problem with chocolate. I'm like it's too sweet, yeah, and it's like well, I had to be a little bit bitter too.
Speaker 2:I like the dark bitter chocolate.
Speaker 1:Cuz I'm a bitter boy. We see some kids getting out of school and going to a candy shop. If you ever been to a candy shop like this, I'm straight up. Walks into this tiny little shop just filled with nothing but candy.
Speaker 2:Like I mean it like Disney World, they have stuff like that.
Speaker 1:but my only thing's been going to something and Universal go into the candy shop. It yeah, universal Harry.
Speaker 2:Potter one. I think this candy man is a serial killer.
Speaker 1:I think you know I Love this part and I think it's very delightful and the guy looks like a very fun guy, but it's the part of his hair, it's his hair, thanks. Like back and part it reminds me of the movie Willard yeah, the guy with a rat or whatever like he just reminds me of that actor and I'm like I don't know about this.
Speaker 2:Oh, this the same. Is so funny because he starts saying, yes, delightful and see singing, and then he just starts showering these kids with candy. Yeah, right, and then he and then he pulls, he lets the kids behind the counter. He's like come on to the back room. Like nah you never see these kids. You never see him again. He's just throwing out free candy and Charlie's at the window watching like a little depressed boy. Candy. If you just walked in the door, he would have gotten so much candy Candy thrown at you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for real. They didn't pay for all that. The guy got lost in a song.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but then you know it's good thing he didn't go inside, because he lived to fight another.
Speaker 1:He lived to fight another day, and so the candy shop owner, he's pushing the scrum deli, umptious bars, which is the best thing for a candy bar ever. Then we get the Candy man can song. It just hypes up Willy Wonka Perfect way to start the movie. And then you got old Charlie just wants some chocolate, but he can't afford it. And so he goes out to his newspaper stand and hands out some newspapers, yeah, and at the end of the day he walks by the Wonka factory. And then you get this crazy guy.
Speaker 1:He's just pushing around a car with knives and machetes and Putcher knives.
Speaker 2:Charlie faces murder at every turn, every turn this place is insane.
Speaker 1:It just turns out that was actually jack the ripper. But yeah, it's. It's funny because I mean this movie could be a horror movie. It's so close to being one. This is literally like the guy like when we did the cabin in the woods and you have the Like redneck guy out in the middle of the gas station, that's this guy. He's like the person warning Charlie to not go in nobody goes in, but he still decides, luckily. Charlie is the the final girl, I guess, of the movie.
Speaker 2:He makes it out.
Speaker 1:We see we cut to his Charlie's house. It's filled with like four, like of his grandparents. Yes, I am bedridden, they've been bedridden for 20 years. Gosh darn years. I think they just got a little lazy.
Speaker 2:Like we should cut it should cut to.
Speaker 1:when grandpa Joe stands up, he should just have like Black sores all over his back.
Speaker 2:Oh, just bed, sores, his legs are like toothpicks. His pajamas are like pukes stained.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like it's like y'all don't wash it. I mean, I guess there's like just don't like that house has to stink. I'm like I bet the mother's just going around for breezing them.
Speaker 2:All they eat is boiled cabbage. Yeah, like no cabbage water.
Speaker 1:It's not even boiled cabbage, it's just cabbage water. They pours hill dude. No, they pour.
Speaker 1:They look like at first when they show the outside of the house. I was like is that a barn? No, we're Natalie's. Like that looks like a barn. I was like, yeah, it kind of does. Charlie comes in and gives him a loaf of bread because he doesn't want to have cabbage water anymore. It's a feast, hell yeah, a bread load delicious. Finally got him some money. Yeah, he tells grandpa Joe about the creep and grandpa tells Charlie that he really won't get to close down the factory because Competing candy owners were trying to spy on him and trying to steal his recipes like slug, what is it? Slug, horn or whatever? Slug worth, slug worth, yeah.
Speaker 1:So then we cut to Charlie, who's now at school, where this is hilarious teacher, the teacher is showing Charlie an experiment that will move warts. I love it, because the teacher Asked him was like do you know? Like, do you know anything about this? And Charlie's like no, he's like, of course you don't know. You don't know because only I know. If you knew and I didn't know, then you'd be teaching me instead of me teaching you.
Speaker 1:And for a student to be teaching his teacher is presumptuous and rude. Don't make myself clear. This guy freaking crushes it, man. And then there's a lot of commotion outside turns out that willy wonka has put golden tickets in his candy bars and if you find it, you can tour his factory and get a lifetime supply of chocolate. Like oh what. The teacher runs up like what's all this commotion? Look, willy Wonka is giving out five golden t, or he's giving out golden tickets so people can tour his Factory's like class dismissed. It's like there's only five tickets out there, class read or undismissed. It's like yeah, you just have to buy them and they could be going to anybody. Anybody could get it. Class dismissed again. Such a great teacher. Hilarious, love that guy. British humor, yeah right, oh, it's so good. When I was looking at him I was like is he a part of the?
Speaker 1:He looked similar he looked very familiar. I should have looked that up. So Charlie is hopeful that he'll be able to find a golden ticket. So many people are buying chocolate bars God they look all so delicious, though they do look delicious Look if you're going to do something like this and you're going to take advantage of people and making them buy things, at least you get the most delicious possible thing right.
Speaker 1:It's like what? How am I so bad? You know what People got to eat chocolate? I made people eat chocolate. You going to complain about that? Are you kidding me, bro? I don't know, that's just the way I'm going to look at it. You can't make this movie sad, Miles. I don't care if it's about capitalism or whatever.
Speaker 2:Oh man.
Speaker 1:He's in serial killers. So we see a shrink talking to a patient. He yelled at the guy because this guy's like an archangel, came and tried to tell me where the wonka bars are or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah he's like, like, tell me where the ticket is. He's like the archangel, whispered in my ear where it was.
Speaker 1:And this was the part where I was like, wait a second, I know what this movie's a prequel to Clockwork Orange, nice. I was like, wait, this is like an insane reality and like it feels like we're everybody's freaking out over something stupid. I was like are we just like slowly getting to the brink of where we're at the Clockwork Orange? And of course, of course, as British, as hell, charlie is the gang leader. Yeah, it's like Charlie Grossov to you, I mean, and there's so many silly words like there are in a Clockwork Orange.
Speaker 2:Can't wait to beat a woman with a penis.
Speaker 1:That part's rough, I don't like that part. It's bad, I can't. We're definitely going to do Clockwork Orange soon, oh man. Oh, that movie is crazy. So we see a news anchor telling the world that the first ticket has been found by Gustav Scloop. He's a hungry kid. His father eats the mic, he just bites it. And then, while being interviewed, a man begins whispering in Augustus's ear Super creep. The giant cut on his face. That's Slugworth right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's supposed to be Slugworth, he's just everywhere. Yeah, he's the worst. So we cut to the next scene and we got Charlie's birthday. His mom gives him a knitted red scarf. I love that scarf.
Speaker 2:That looks great. Yeah, that looks pretty cool. It's like a wonderful scarf.
Speaker 1:Everybody helped with it. And then Grandpa Joe just buys him a dang old chocolate bar because he has money now With his tobacco money.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like, dude, you've just been laying in bed smoking tobacco, and then who also wants to go get that candy bar Probably you while the mother was at freaking work.
Speaker 2:I love how much shit he gets now.
Speaker 1:I mean, the dude deserves it. Oh God, it's so, it's so crappy. Can't wait till we get to that part. So Joe, grandpa Joe, really ups his hype. Charlie pretends to find it. He's like look, I found it. Like no, I didn't. Fucking asshole kid. It's like Charlie, dude, it's not their fault.
Speaker 2:I really fooled. You Didn't know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just macked him Like shut up. This is going to change our world. We could add chocolate water instead of cabbage water. So we cut to a peanut factory full of people opening Wonka bars. Ruka salt is spoiled by yelling at her dad to tell the factory workers to work harder. She's the worst. Yeah, she sucks. The guy's like. We'll give you a. It's like you better find it now or you'll all be out of here. The person that finds it gets a pound raise.
Speaker 2:I was like yeah, I want it now, daddy.
Speaker 1:And then like, yeah, dude, she's going off. And then like the mother's, just like she's going to be very unhappy. Oh, she's awful too. But then we see this girl. She finds it Ruka, salt runs down and like I found the ticket.
Speaker 2:I found it.
Speaker 1:I found the ticket about time and then all of a sudden there's just that creepy guy just in the factory and everybody's totally cool with it. It's totally cool, nobody even notices them. And then everybody's just like, oh, she's whispering in her ear, I have no complaints. And then, like the mother's, like, oh, it's better to be happy, isn't?
Speaker 2:it. Yes, thank goodness that strange man is keeping her quiet.
Speaker 1:So we see a news report showing that people are running out of Wonka bars. We see a guy showing some people a computer that will tell them the precise location of the golden tickets. But the computer is a little sassy and won't tell. I won't tell you that it would be cheating, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then he says I'm telling the computer exactly what he can do with a lifetime supply of stuff.
Speaker 1:So good. And then we got another news program say that Violet Beauregarde found the third ticket in America. She's like a weird girl that just loves gum. She's had the same piece of gum forever and just sticks it behind her ear when she goes to eat Gross. And then she's kind of gloating to this one girl that I guess she has a competition with about having like the longest gum. Chewing the longest gum ever, or whatever, I don't know.
Speaker 2:And her dad's like the sleazy auto salesman.
Speaker 1:Like an auto salesman and a politician yes, just like. Keeps trying to take the spotlight and sell cars. And then we see the creep again whispering in her ear. Yep, even the cameraman's like what is this? Should we be like, focusing on this part right here specifically? It's fine, it's just the guy with the giant cut on his face. I'm sure that's just a totally normal cut and has nothing bad about it. And then we cut to Charlie going to his mom's work to walk her home, but she has to work late. He tells her that the third ticket has been found. It's like I was just, you know, I just thought you'd be interested. I was interested about it. And the mother's like dude, I'm trying to, I'm the only person that works in this house. Okay, like I don't care, all right, but Charlie's super sad and he's like it's like, well, there's only three tickets left. And if you're wondering if it's going to be me, it won't be me. You can count me out.
Speaker 2:I just imagined my kids telling me this while I'm working, just rolling my eyes just like, shut the fuck up, you're depressing me. It's like, yeah, you know what we have we have animals.
Speaker 1:We have a Nintendo switch and a PlayStation. Okay, you have it better than everybody. His mother tells him that his luck will one day change. Then she sings the most boring song in the movie yeah, that sucks. Cheer up, charlie. And while walking home he makes a bunch of dumb faces trying to look sad.
Speaker 2:Yes, he does. Oh, it was just mouth hanging open all the time, dude, he looks like a 40 year old child.
Speaker 1:He's got a crazy face. He's been through a lot. Sorry to that guy. So in the Southwest of America someone found the fourth ticket. Mike TV is the kid's name and he loves TV.
Speaker 2:South America. I think it's the Southwest, southwest of America. I thought you said maybe my mind just jumps to the Paraguay.
Speaker 1:The next one is going to be South America. He essentially everybody wants to interview him. He's like get out of my way, I don't care, I'm just trying to watch TV. And then the creepy guy is pretending to be a reporter. He's just like flopping his mic everywhere, not even to the right people, it's so good. And then he begins to whisper in his ear.
Speaker 2:I'm not getting the gun till I'm 12, right, Dad?
Speaker 1:He's like I want a Colt 45, but I can't have one yet. Maybe when you're 12, son? Yep, that's the right age. You know what Kind of age? Well, age well and didn't age well at the same time. So the evening report is covering the last ticket, the Stanley Kale, the newscaster Four, down one to go, and somewhere out there a lucky person is moving closer and closer to the most sought after prize in history, though we cannot help but envy whoever he is, and we may feel bitter. But we must remember there are more important things, many more important things, though offhand I can't think of what they are.
Speaker 2:I'm sure there must be something. Let's just hope it's not a brown kid.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, what the hell. That's what the newsman was saying there's just not a lot of color in this, that is true, it is a very white movie, very white movie indeed, I know but as soon as they say the guy from Paraguay got it, they're like no, no fucking way. God dang it, it's gotta be a prank. There's no way. Someone from another country.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, wow.
Speaker 1:Wow, jason, just wow. So grandpa wakes up Charlie in the middle of the night to open up a Wonka bar and he's like, oh, they're getting so excited, which side should I open? Oh, do this side, and they open it. And it's nothing. Charlie's like, that gold ticket probably makes the chocolate taste terrible. Anyways, jesus Eeyore, it's like dude you know, what? At least you have life, man, and you have all four of your grandparents, they all live with you.
Speaker 2:They all sleep in the same sticky bed. Where they poop dude, they can't walk where they poop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, well, they've got the chamber pot under the bed, this guy like holes right under their butt and they just go. Oh, I don't know how bad does this house think they don't shower? Is the mother going to a mall sponge bath? Oh grandpa joke. This is me off in a second. So we cut to an auction where they auctioned the last case of Wonka bars in Britain. It goes for over 5,000 pounds and I guess some like your highness gets it or whatever.
Speaker 2:We cut to a woman Like the queen of England comes out to buy it.
Speaker 1:And then we cut to the person that got it, whose husband has been kidnapped. The kidnappers ransom is her box of Wonka bars. The FBI guys like all right, ma'am, like all you have to do is give up the Wonka bars, let me think about it. So then we cut to the news report saying this last golden ticket has been found in South America. Grandpa Joe is upset for Charlie. And then we see Charlie just straight up, just quietly crying oh, kill myself, I promise God.
Speaker 2:he's such a bummer.
Speaker 1:It's a huge bummer. So we're back to Charlie's teacher, because he wanted it more than anyone else in the fucking world. But he's also the only polite child in the world.
Speaker 2:He also didn't want it enough, bad enough to make a counterfeit. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:And you know what? Maybe you should have broke into the candy factory. And then we cut back to the teacher. I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the tests we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest. Pencil's ready, yes.
Speaker 2:I love when they talk about percentages and you're like Charlie how many did you? Open Two. I can't do just two. I'm not that part of the teacher, you're a math teacher.
Speaker 1:Man, I'm like what are you talking about? It's just, you know, if I went home and was like what's your teacher say today? Well, he wants us to take tests, that we usually take tests on Friday about what we learned throughout the week and we have to take it on Monday before we learned it. Um, I'll be back. I'm going to your school, you're learning nothing. We have to get this man out of here. I love it. It's chaos. So we cut to after the class. We see Charlie's walking the streets and he finds some money in a gutter thing or whatever. He decides to go buy some chocolate. At first he buys a scrum dilly umpshuss bar, but then he decides to get a classic Wonka bar. There's a lot of commotion outside. Turns out the last one could ticket was a fake ticket. Charlie goes to open his bar and it has the ticket in it. Oh, and this woman immediately grabs his wrist.
Speaker 1:Immediately get murder turns into what's his name from King of the Hill. We see everybody going crazy for him and Charlie runs home. We're running homes, slug words, slug worth. Stops them and ask him to give his ever lot. Get to ask to get the everlasting gop stopper from him and he'll give him 10,000 pounds when he towards the factory.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I think slug worth. This guy can see every person on earth and he knows whenever the ticket is found.
Speaker 1:Well, since, we'll find out, he works with Willy Wonka, I'm assuming he has like a special invention that allows him to travel the world, or I got that.
Speaker 2:I can only or they planned it in advance and they knew who was gonna get the Bro. He's probably.
Speaker 1:But he can travel through TVs. Maybe that's what he's doing, fuck yes. So he gets home to show everybody. At first they don't believe him, and then he's. Then they read it. It's like, oh my gosh, it's true. Charlie can only bring one person. He wants to bring grandpa Joe, not his loving mother, who needed a scarf, works hard every day.
Speaker 2:Taking care of this grand, grand work that day.
Speaker 1:That's true, even though.
Speaker 2:I feel like if she misses one day of work, they are all gonna die right and After 20 years he finally just stands up and walks. It's like hey, grandpa Joe, did you ever try walking?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then he has the audacity thing that I've got a golden ticket and Charlie does, it's mine. It's finally mine, like I love it. He gets up, he starts dancing, they start pulling out clothes and just throwing it everywhere.
Speaker 2:It's making a huge mess.
Speaker 1:That mother's like I was. I'm gonna put you back in that fucking bed, like. And then Charlie tells them about us like words. And I like to think that as they exit the house, the mother turns to the other three grandparents get your asses up she gets in the bed and grandpa Joe spy.
Speaker 2:She's like it's on you now.
Speaker 1:It's like you guys get up. Y'all've been lying for 20 years. I bet you're the ones that killed my husband.
Speaker 2:I wonder if his dad died in like the war, some Some like that.
Speaker 1:I don't think it said chocolate war the chocolate. War against the verminous like I would. I would have loved at the end of it. Actually, charlie, I'm your father. Will he want cuz your father? To make it even worse for the mother. Just like are you?
Speaker 2:Just kills him.
Speaker 1:We find out like the father died during childbirth.
Speaker 2:It's like how does he died during childbirth?
Speaker 1:I don't know it would just be even worse for the mother. It's like I did everything. How did you die Just to make it even more ridiculous for the mother.
Speaker 2:Here's Something else that's depressing. So how do you think Charlie is like 10?
Speaker 1:He's I don't know, I don't, I don't so well how he's like 10 years.
Speaker 2:He's probably like in fourth or fifth grade, right, something like that. Yeah, so it's like nine, ten years old. Yeah, the grandparents have been in the bed for 20 years, mm-hmm. So that means 10 years ago and dad's still around. They're fucking in the house like right next to the grandparents.
Speaker 1:Maybe they had like maybe they. Maybe when the father is around, he's making more money. And like they had a better house with a couple more beds, like I don't know, it's just like the grand grandpa Joe's.
Speaker 2:Like that's my son, he's really getting it to the other girl, that's my daughter.
Speaker 1:She's really taking it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think grandpa Joe was the mom's father. Oh, great George and Georgina. Well then, that's, parents then switch it in reverse, like get her son.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't hear that bitch weekend. I know y'all aren't doing it uncomfortably loud sex Don't worry. We want to hear it behind the sheet.
Speaker 1:Gross, just gross. So we cut to anyway. We cut to the next day and they're in front of the Wonka factory. All the other kids are being brats, but Charlie's being a sweet little angel, fluffy hair. Yes, the clock strikes 10 and Wonka comes out. He has a limp and everybody's real weird about his limp. Everybody gets super quiet. But Wonka slowly walks and then his cane comes out of his hand and he looks like he's about to fall, but then he does like a somersault and everyone goes fucking.
Speaker 1:Now that we know he can walk normal. We love the guy. Even our dog loves them so glad he's not Right.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's just like I couldn't do it for with someone handicapped, apparently. So he welcomes everybody in and now they're off. He has everybody take off their coats. It's got these cool little coat and hat hangers, golden hands that can move. They grab the stuff. Yeah, that was cool. He tells everybody a hurry because we have so much time and so little to see. Wait a minute, strike that and reverse it. Thank you, love it. Wonka has them all signed a contract that is ridiculously long and impossible to read. Towards the bottom All the parents are super sketched out, but the kids say screw it and they all sign it. Charlie and grandpa say they have nothing to lose, so they sign it anyways.
Speaker 2:I like how none of the the guardians of these children had to sign anything.
Speaker 1:It was just the kids, just the kids. The adults could. I think the whole point is the adults could do anything. Right, because he knows like well, the adults are gonna do anything. They want to, just kind of like the theme of the movie, yeah, I guess. And they're off. They go into a room with only one door. They're all freaking out when they get in there and they can't find the door. One cuz like oh, wonder where the door is. It could be anywhere, I'm sure I'll put it here somewhere. They're like oh, here's the door. If I say that's the door you went out the first place. Wonka's like is it? Let's see, opens in. It's a completely new room. Oh yeah, I love how they're just immediately.
Speaker 1:Disuspective ready to leave now they're so did and like grandpa, joe and Charlie, like this is cool, this is like if I saw that be like whoa, oh, let's get in this factory this place is insane, a fun house. So they go through the next hall and the hall gets smaller and yeah it looks like it's a really long hole, yeah, and it's tiny.
Speaker 1:It's the hall getting smaller. If I was next to like, are you serious? You're kind of dumb, but it's awesome. And so one of the parents like I doubt we'll get out of here alive. And then Wonka says you should never, ever doubt something you're not sure about.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love how he never want answers anybody's questions. He was just like. All questions have to be submitted in writing. Yeah, well, answer all at the end or please call this number.
Speaker 1:So in the next room he says everything is edible eatable. You can eat everything. It's the chocolate room, eat my ass Wonka. So we get the best song in the movie, pure imagination. Yeah, it's a wonderful. I sing it all the time. I'm really Jean Wilder singing. I assume I didn't say anything about it. It kind of sounds like I'm right. So lovely, I love it. And why he's singing? He's telling everybody's like making sure they all don't run ahead of on me. It's kind of being Little goofy with them. I love it.
Speaker 2:I wish more actors had to be able to have another talent.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, a lot of them do it seems like usually, if you're an actor, you're pretty classically, classically yeah. The kids are. Often they can really eat anything, everything they. It's kind of gross at times, yep, like when they're the violet I believe she's the one that's eating like all these, like huge gummy bears. Like he knocks the gummy bear off, she takes a bite out it. Dude, they're so gross, the huge.
Speaker 2:Those things.
Speaker 1:You got a. What's her name? Veruca salt. She's like trying to bash this ball and then she gets it open.
Speaker 2:This puts her hand in his it's just handful of chocolate, so gross she's just like licks it and sticks her hand back in yeah, and then, like a goose, this is just going ham on this, like chocolate fudge bars or ball or something.
Speaker 1:Yeah it's a badass room. And then in the song you have the gene wilder just sitting down drinking like a little tea cup Like that looks like a flower, yeah and then at the end just takes a bite.
Speaker 2:That's awesome. Great love it this room is amazing.
Speaker 1:I want to eat it. I want to lick stuff. It's my favorite.
Speaker 2:Oh, the part where they lick the walls Kind of weird.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're gonna get there? Oh, that's not even yet.
Speaker 2:That's not yet.
Speaker 1:That's like right before they get to the. That's before the geese room.
Speaker 1:Okay so we see a giant chocolate river. It has a waterfall that mixes up the chocolates, the only way you can get the chocolate, just right. Then we see oompa loompas from oompa, from loompa land. Who is this other country that has terrible beasts that could eat them all? They don't believe them, though. We see a goose is shrinking the chocolate and a goose is falls in the river and ruins the chocolate, like please get some help, help, please murder. Wonka doesn't help. And a goose this gets sucked into a pipe. He gets stuck in the pipe.
Speaker 2:I love how Charlie is the only one that tries to save him. Yeah, not even like the kids, mom.
Speaker 1:Everybody's like well, whatever, I'm sure nothing will go wrong. And I love this part cuz he, once he's stuck in the pipe, it's like, uh, it's like, will he get out? The suspense is terrible. I hope it lasts. He plays his little flute thing or whatever and we get our first, first oompa loompas on, cuz a goose is shoots out the other pipe. Yes, and it's. This is interesting.
Speaker 2:They got to get him out before he gets tossed in the boiler.
Speaker 1:Yes, exactly, and it's essentially a song about not being greedy, yeah, and not overeating Like a straight up home fat. They hate these oompa loompas.
Speaker 1:They go hard judgey, they don't hold. They don't hold back. So everybody is now suspect of Wonka. But he doesn't care and tells them that to hop on his boat and like, while they're getting on it they go through the his river and she's like oh, one of the parents is getting like seasick and he gives her, like here, chew on this. It turns your spit into set. Seven different colors and then violets, like spitting is such a dirty habit, walla.
Speaker 2:Picking her nose and then.
Speaker 1:I love it cuz he's got Gene Wilder and he has this hilarious face like I know worse one. It's great. And then we're into the tunnel and we get the weirdest part of the movie.
Speaker 2:I love it. I think it's one favorite part.
Speaker 1:He does like this weird song. We see the images on the wall like extra close-ups of birds eating other bugs, chicken getting the head cut off and like super close-up of a crab, which really freaks one person out. I was like it's just a crab, that's freaky, yeah, but it's awesome, yeah, that's awesome. And then everybody's freaking out and he's like stop the boat, they're immediately at the entrance of the engine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he goes Horde on this smart. He tells them no touching and no telling. He says slug was would do anything to get into this room and like everybody's like it's an insane messy room. My TV, some exploding candy and like explodes back.
Speaker 2:It's awesome. He's like it's not ready yet because it's not powerful enough. Yeah, we're supposed to like blow your teeth out of your face.
Speaker 1:And he tastes like he goes around, he picks up a clock it's like you don't want to waste time and like throws the clock into, like a face. He goes and taste the soccer shoes.
Speaker 1:Yeah he tastes some brew and like, throw some shoes. Goes to another one. It throws a coat in it. It's like, oh, it's like they're like what is it too hot, no, too cold, and there's a jacket in it. It's so funny, that's so clever. And so then he goes and he shows his most secretive machine. And then you get the classic like meme where he's like lanes down and he's a smiling oh yeah, so great. He shows the everlasting gobb-stopper machine. All the kids want one and he decides to give them all just one. He tells them to never give them or show them to anyone else, or I'll kill you.
Speaker 2:Yes, you'll all get your face cuts like it's like Surprise, you're all of you, but one is gonna die today.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then we see another weird machine that produces gum. That's a full meal. It's like a three-course meal, mm-hmm. Violet gets super excited and takes it and choose it, even though Wonka said not to. When she does it, he's like no, don't stop. But she slowly starts turning blue and bloating. Violet, you're turning violet, violet. One of the best lines ever put to screen. Wonka says that she's getting filled with juice and she has to be squeezed or she'll explode.
Speaker 2:You imagine what she looks like when she's getting juice, like where's it gonna come out of? I?
Speaker 1:I'm assuming Nothing roasts and only her mouth and ears. Yeah, just like. And I'm sure they'll probably use it and drink it. Wonderful dangle freaks here.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's what the oompa loompas eat.
Speaker 1:They just yeah, they have. They just make people chew this gum and then they eat whatever comes out of the people. I'll just swarm on her.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the blood. The chocolate river runs with blood. The oompa loompas are dang-ass reeks, so they might.
Speaker 1:Oh, and then we get the next oompa loompas song. It's song essentially just about manners. And then after the song, and they push her out, called her a cow, yeah. And then why is there getting ready to go? Wonka's like where's fancy bread in the heart or the head?
Speaker 2:This is like one of the most quotable movies ever.
Speaker 1:Oh, willie. And this is where we get the lickable wallpaper.
Speaker 2:Yeah it's so gross. I love it. You see, grandpa Joe, it is a tongue. It's like flicking up and down.
Speaker 1:They didn't really look to each other. It's like this is so gross.
Speaker 2:If my kids came home from the factory tour, they're like we get to lick the wall.
Speaker 1:We also drink a river of chocolate and he's like if you see you pineapple, it tastes like pineapple. The strawberries tastes like strawberries. The snozzberries tastes like snozzberries, snozzberries, snozzberries.
Speaker 2:Who's ever heard of a snozzberries?
Speaker 1:We are the music makers, we are the dreamers of dreams.
Speaker 2:Yes, so cryptic and great, and she just goes back to look at the wall. Yeah, it grabs her face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like a tongue without air, so weird. And next up we get the fizzy lifting drink, they think. So next up we get the fizzy lifting drink. They want to try, try it, but it's still too powerful. Grandpa Joe's till Charlie to drink it anyways, grandpa Joe. There would have been no issues if they just took the mother like grandpa, kids are dropping less than right Maybe let's not grandpa.
Speaker 1:But they begin to float up and it's a really fun thing, but they realize they're going up too high and they're gonna get sucked up in the fan. And the only way to float down is to burp. Thank God for grandpa Joe's indigestion. These are the worst burps they're all, they're all fake. They're so terrible.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I need some like deep guttural and I love when you watch it.
Speaker 1:You can see their mouths burping the whole time, but like you, only hear like one burp.
Speaker 2:Well, charlie's burping like crazy, but it's just like those little fake burps that you can do. They're just annoying and not. Yeah, exactly like. And they're like, I can force myself to burp.
Speaker 1:It's probably why I have acid reflex, because I force myself to burp as a joke. Next up is the geese room. They lay giant golden eggs. They have a machine that can tell if an egg is a good egg or a bad egg. It's the egg decatur. We see that bad eggs fall down a hatch. Baruka wants one, the geese, but Wonka won't let her have one.
Speaker 2:I want it now.
Speaker 1:They're not for sale. And then she randomly breaks out in song, which is kind of crazy, and she's like this essentially just being the biggest brat you ever did see, and Like she's throwing things around the oompa loompa's, like I can't wait, I hope, I hope it's time for a song, for I thought it was interesting in the 2005 one when they did squirrels and set of geese.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, that was actually a pretty good scene, yeah, and then.
Speaker 1:So after, towards the end of the song, she gets on the egg decatur and she falls through because she's a bad. She was a bad egg. She falls. We learned that she falls to the garbage shoe. That leads to the furnace her father jumps in after. And then we get the next oompa loompa song. It's a song about how she shouldn't be a spoiled brat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, or you'll get burned alive and hell and father.
Speaker 1:And then I love the next thing they're beginning to leave. I don't understand. The kids are disappearing like rabbits.
Speaker 2:Well, at least we have each other and they have to be you cuz you know you guys don't have, you probably not gonna have kids. I don't know that but like it, the moment, we're not sure, I'm not sure not playing on it, but like I feel like that's what he did too. He's like kids are terrible. Kids are terrible. I can't wait to take them to my extreme death factory.
Speaker 1:So they hop, hop on the Wonka mobile. It's powered by everything carbonated, essentially. Oh, it's a machine that goes really slow and spews bubbles all over everybody. Cuz like grandpa Joe's like I bet this is super fast, I'm sure it's gonna go extremely fast. It's like I'm kicking it up to a high gear.
Speaker 2:Barely go like the steamroller from Austin Powers. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:And we see grandpa Joe and Charlie. They're having a great time, while the two up front, the TV people, they're like hey what's going on? But then we get this great shot of them going into this portion of the wall and they're getting squished and they're coming out the other end completely clean, fucking school. And then they get to the end and MikeTV asks why couldn't we have just walked? If the good Lord wanted us to walk, he wouldn't have invented roller skates. Yes, ah, gene Wilder, rip, rip.
Speaker 1:So, they have to put on special suits before they go into the Wonka vision room. Wonka came up with a machine that can teleport chocolate through TVs and children. They have to use really big chocolate bars, though, because they shrink to very little and normal chocolate bars? Yeah, they can make them huge. It's like what if I would just be like? Nah, I just want to eat that actually.
Speaker 2:This is a machine that Willy Wonka uses to snatch your kids out of your house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it can work both ways, apparently. So MikeTV decides he wants to be sent through television. Wonka, stop, don't come back. He gets shrunk into a really tiny person. I'm a TV star. Yes, that's how he should stay. So we learned that the only way to fix him is Wonka's going to put him in the taffy pulling room, stretch him out, oh man, and pull and pull comes up, starts whispering in his ear. It's like no, don't worry, you won't be accountable.
Speaker 2:He just gets quartered.
Speaker 1:His limbs torn off. His mom starts feigning she's trying to talk. It's like no, don't speak. Some moments have no words. And then we get the next impolimba song, which is a song about how you shouldn't watch TV all day you shouldn't do a little shit. They don't have commercials, and I didn't pay attention to this when I was growing up because I watched a lot of TV.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it did. I was watching it on the television.
Speaker 1:Well, you were reading it. It's like a pleadious.
Speaker 2:I did do that. I did do that.
Speaker 1:Wonka is very dismissive, charlie and Joe tells them the tour is over and doesn't offer them the chocolate. Grandpa Joe goes in to find out why. Wonka tells them that they because they had the fizzy lifting drinks and it was in the contract. He gets this tiny little glass and rings out and most of what he's saying is etc. Etc. Etc. Makes no sense. I said good day, I said good day, sir. Yeah, charlie, feeling sad, grandpa says you know what, we'll go to Mr Slugworth or whatever and give him the gop stopper.
Speaker 1:Fuck, yeah, get that money. But then Charlie, feeling sad and bad, decides to give his gop stopper back to Wonka. Well, I love his office though. Yeah, everything's cut half, Even pulls out a piece of paper like the contract and only has half of it. But after Charlie gives up his gop, stopper Wonka then starts celebrating, tells Charlie he's won and he brings out his friend and it turns out that Mr Slugworth was just somebody he knew and it was a test.
Speaker 2:This is my life partner, Slugworth. Yes.
Speaker 1:It's like now that I'm a billionaire because I sold all that chocolate, we're going to go live on an island and be happy. He had to make sure Charlie was honest. Wonka wants to take them up in his glass. Wonka Vader. It's like isn't this just an elevator? No, it's a Wonka Vader. Because every time he brings out a boat or a car, he just says oh, this is my Wonka something and then someone's like it's just a car.
Speaker 1:No, it's my Wonka car. He really wants everybody to know what it is. So it's very. It's a. He's like oh, I've pressed all these buttons, but I haven't pressed this one. Charlie, why don't you press it?
Speaker 2:That's going to shoot us out of the building.
Speaker 1:So they're going to fly through the glass factory and he says, hold on tight, I'm not sure what's going to happen next. Oh man, I love these little shit, not dangerous. Wonka tells Charlie that he can have the Charlotte factory. I can't go on forever and I don't really want to try.
Speaker 2:And you can't ever let anyone in because they will call the health person. Exactly what are they called? Health inspectors?
Speaker 1:Health inspectors. He explains that he wants the child to take over the factory because an adult would change everything.
Speaker 2:Don't forget it, make it all safe and shit, yes.
Speaker 1:And then it has one of the best lines to end any movie. Don't forget about the child that got everything he ever wanted. And then Charlie's what happened. He lived happily ever after. And then they hug and it's the end. Lovely, they shot it Turns out. Wonka was just being a little sneaky.
Speaker 2:He was very sneaky, couldn't just give it away to anybody.
Speaker 1:A little sneaky snike, we will cut to. So best movie ever, right, that's amazing. I give it five Willy Wonka chocolate bars out of five, Five walks. I give it five giant geese. Give it five violets turning violets. I give it four dead children out of five.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly. So we're going to go to our first category the good, the bad, the ugly, the fine. This is where we talk about what we loved about the movie the good. We talked about what we didn't like about the movie the bad. We talked about what didn't age well the ugly. We talked about what did age well, the fine. So what's the good for you, my man, gene Wilder? That's exactly what I got. Fuck, yeah, man.
Speaker 1:That and the pure imagination song. Yeah, that was really good. We are soon going to do Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein and whatever other Gene Wilder movie we can do. Wow, especially Young Frankenstein.
Speaker 2:Natalie loves that movie. What's his name? Marlon Brando? Is that the guy who did the or is I'm not thinking of something else the director of that stuff?
Speaker 1:Okay, no, it's Mel Mel Brooks Brooks. Yeah, so then we got the bad. What do you think the bad is?
Speaker 2:Just a bunch of white kids. I feel like they could have. They sent these bars all over the world, which means there's probably other kinds of races. Yeah, exactly Maybe they could have included, been more inclusive of this selection.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's definitely. It's just like. This is how movies were back then. A lot it wasn't inclusive enough. Mine was the mother song. Yeah, it sucked ass. Bad, not very good. So what's the ugly?
Speaker 2:Maybe that's what I meant for to be the ugly. Oh yeah, okay, so the bad would be the see the Charlie's stupid face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, his 40 year old child face. It's just mouth and open he's got. He had pretty bad like expressions. So my ugly was grandpa Joe. Yes, boy, as a kid you don't notice how terrible of a guy is. There's a lot, he don't. He just was a lazy bum, just sat in bed for 20 years and then he almost made Charlie lose everything because he drank some fizzy drink.
Speaker 2:Oh man, terrible Dangerous guy.
Speaker 1:So the fine, what age? Well, mine was the weirdness of the family. Pure imagination, yes the pure imagination song and just the weirdness and how it's almost a horror movie. Cool weirdness that's great, that's definitely one of my favorite parts. So next we go to the double feature. What's your double feature?
Speaker 2:I guess, like the new, the new Wonka coming out with Tim Shamilamalon.
Speaker 1:Timitian Shamilamalon. That is why we're doing it. I picked Matilda or Wizard of Oz. Oh, yeah. Matilda's Mr Wengeble. It's a Roll doll movie.
Speaker 2:I read Matilda a lot when I was a kid. It's one of my favorite books because she had telekinesis.
Speaker 1:Do you know who directed that film? No, danny DeVito, I'm gonna say Robert DeVito.
