We welcome the lovely Michael Chau (@srirachachau) onto the show to talk about yet another real doozy, Tim Burton's massive hit remake CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY. We discuss the film's strangely adversarial relationship to its beloved predecessor, Burton's tone-deaf restorations and destructive additions to the narrative, Johnny Depp's bizarre, catastrophic lead performance, Freddie Highmore's blank ass face, and somehow a lengthy discussion of Aaron Rodgers and his rancid personality?
We had a blast, check it out!
