In this episode we’re talking about the new movie Wonka, based on the beloved Roald Dahl character Willy Wonka. The movie turns the clock back to when Wonka was a young man, before he had his famed chocolate factory and stars Timothee Chalamet as the chocolatier to be.

A group of our ATMI producers sat down in our studio to discuss the movie, and snack on a few chocolatey delights too. They talk about how Wonka compares to the other two adaptations of Roald Dahl’s source material, its lack of promotion as a musical, and whether the movie left them with a sweet or bitter taste.

Roundtable led by Roey McCowan.

Hosted by Madison Knutson.

Music by Kendrick Whiteman and Devin Shreckengost.
