About this episode
It's a world of pure imagination as we talk all things Wonka with our delightful guest, friend of the show Tena Quesada. We talk 1971's "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" with Gene Wilder, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with Johnny Depp from 2005, and 2023's "Wonka" with Timothee Chalamet. We had a good time. Get your chocolate on!
Tena says:
I am a fan of all kinds of cinema, from high-brow foreign independent films to silly Shazam comic movies. I draw the line at Rom-coms and Hallmark films, which make me want to run screaming from the room. After teaching English to high schoolers and university students for 25 years, I decided to become a law blog writer for a small U.S. company. I love research and writing comes easily because I am a voracious reader. Living in Costa Rica means the fruit is always fresh, the sun is always hot, and the coffee is always phenomenal. My husband, son, and son's girlfriend are doctors so dinner conversations can get a little gross, but life certainly could be worse!
