NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast
Episode 58: @GentlethemE & The Willy Wonka Empire (Free the Oompa Loompas).
NinetyForChill.com: The #Podcast is starting Michael Dubois's proposed Gene Wilder trilogy by discussing his favorite movie of all time, "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory". At least, it was coming into these recordings. Can two ultra-left anti-capitalists watch a feature about the Howard Hughes of chocolatiers and leave with the same respect that they had for this feature as children?
Because of the politics of the guest and host, it does take a little time to get to the feature. The capitalist elements lead them to think about the assholes who praise the fouled up concept. A discussion ensues about Cool Movie Darth's Twitter beefs with conservatives trolls and those who are supplying the Freedom Convoys. It sounds awful, but at least the first set of selfish morons trying to suffocate the vaccinated with diesel fumes were Canadians.
Canadian conservatives lack compassion, but are not too difficult to deal with on Twitter. They still maintain their politeness. You just cannot be too angry at Canucks.
It takes the two about 20 minutes to get back to the focus of the episode. CM Darth cannot help but chat about the more woke wrestling of AEW. This stems from the two talking about the media they watched growing up and the similarities they shared. "Willy Wonka" is a trip to more innocent times, and the two focus of them.
Cool Movies Darth had three primary VHS tapes growing up (five since he obviously wore out all of the original "Star Wars Trilogy"). They were "Star Wars", "Flash Gordon", and "Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory". In contrast, Michael had three tapes as well. These cassettes were "Grease 2", "Titanic", and the forgotten "Chances Are". With a forgotten status, obviously the two went on a tangent exploring the Robert Downey Jr. feature about reincarnation-based, PG-13 incest.
The two obviously love Gene Wilder movies. Current plans for the podcast are to schedule an episode devoted to Mel Brook's debut film "The Producers". That is a film that Michael has yet to see, but he had seen the musical version. He is a big fan of the soundtrack and offers an awkward story of driving an Uber with a Jewish patron and a car stereo set on random.
This a good transition to the elements of "Willy Wonka" that no longer sit well. They had their suspicions of why Bill the Candyman is just giving his stock away and whether or not Charlie ever considered wankering to be a Wonkaer. A weird tribute to Bob Saget comes from these observations. CM Darth also pitches "The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane" because of this scene.
Other ideas we question from this feature are how all movies seem to hate math (except those from James Gunn), how did Wonka keep his factory secure over the past 20 years (was it Tardis puzzles or Jigsaw inspirations), and of course, Roald Dahl's hatred towards children. The two do admire how this initial financial failure did lay the groundwork for matter of fact comedies of the 1980's and how Dahl could figure out away to adapt such an absurd book. Michael leaves needing to see "Charlie & The Chocolate Factory" which maybe what the author may have intended.
Outside of this "Wonka" inspired conversation, Cool Movies Darth discusses his awkward birthday week (How do you unmatch a guy you ask to get a hold of you on Tinder after he makes a half-hour drive before he can even get home?) and returns to Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's Trash Feature Revue. This week, he watched John Leguizamo's "Empire". Be it heroin or chocolate, this episode focuses on addiction and the pain it causes. If only capitalism was gone, there would be no reason for these pushers.

All we need is a theme, movie, director, or actor and a focus on sub 100-minute material. As long as the credits start before the 1:39:59 mark on the runtime bar, the movie qualifies.
