Wonka Watch: An Unimportant, Unofficial Podcast

We've exhibited almost immense restraint by waiting almost a whole year to pitch new characters, but THE TIME HAS COME! Have you ever wondered what Wonka would do with a wall mounted bass? Thought about his nougat dealer?? PONDERED on the concept of a historical interpreter obsessed with the war of 1812 who's kind of near the factory sometimes??? Well, you're in luck because these questions and ma...

It's time to come clean everyone, we've been living with a shadow overhead. And that shadow is the classic 2007 Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore rom-com Music and Lyrics .

Without the labor of the actors curr...
