One of THE Moments in Movie History ITF Read & Watch: Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1964 novel & 1971 film)

Published: Dec. 21, 2023, 6:20 p.m.

Roald Dahl might not have liked it, but Gene Wilder\u2019s performance as chocolatier Willy Wonka is the stuff of movie legend, and Mel Stuart\u2019s adaptation of the children\u2019s novel holds up to this day. In episode 295, Luke & James debate which of many iconic scenes is the most memorable, try not to drink from the nasty brown river, skewer the reprehensible Grandpa Joe, take a trip down the tunnel from hell, and choose which of these children really deserves their fate. They finish by casting their vote on which was better: the book or the movie! Relive a classic before you join Timoth\xe9e Chalamet for \u201cWonka\u201d (2023)?
