Neal StarbirdGUEST
We maybe even said this on our previous shift notes, actually.
Neal StarbirdGUEST
But if you've ever seen Haunted Honeymoon, where Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner play radio stars in the 20s or 30s or something, and that whole thing is them, there's this whole intro where they're finishing a spooky radio show, and they're jumping back and forth onto the same mic, and it always just kind of feels like, I feel and that having that image in mind makes it feel fun instead of like an inconvenience, I guess.
Julie Cowden-StarbirdGUEST
And also I would find it particularly difficult to record the scripts as they are, the jokes, the bits between the muckawains if we weren't in the same room, because we would have to be in different rooms to record separately.
Julie Cowden-StarbirdGUEST
Right.
Jon RichardsonHOST
You don't know.
Charlie BakerGUEST
Gene Wilder's good.
Charlie BakerGUEST
When he falls over, that's a good bit, isn't
Jon RichardsonHOST
it? And you can't burp that much that big.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.HOST
And that's what
Kyle QuimmHOST
happened with Gene Wilder.
Kyle QuimmHOST
Yes, Gene Wilder.
Kyle QuimmHOST
That's
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.HOST
true, Gene Wilder.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.HOST
He snorted, unfortunately.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.HOST
He saved Gilda's soul.
Natalie JeanHOST
I cannot.
Natalie JeanHOST
First off, they do AI Gene Wilder's voice into it.
Natalie JeanHOST
It's disgusting.
Natalie JeanHOST
It's like truly evil.
Gilbert GottfriedSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yes, absolutely.
Barrett LeddyGUEST
Gene Wilder.
Barrett LeddyGUEST
We all know the genesis of it.
Barrett LeddyGUEST
But when it became a brand of itself, when did that happen? Because they revive a lot of things like bottle caps.
Jason LiebigGUEST
Yeah, this would be a great commercial for our new candy brand, and it will be a Wonka candy brand, and that's how we will get into the candy business.
Jason LiebigGUEST
And that's what they did.
Jason LiebigGUEST
Quaker Oats, yes, those Quaker Oats, they funded and produced the original Willy Wonka movie with Gene Wilder.
Jason LiebigGUEST
And they very rapidly were going to come out with some candy.
JohnHOST
And then I, for whatever reason, I just kind of landed on this show and I didn't make it through the whole thing.
JohnHOST
Cause so what they're doing is Netflix has essentially recreated Willy Wonka's chocolate factory on what I assume is a soundstage, even though they have some like exterior shots, they're probably just AI because they made an AI Gene Wilder.
JohnHOST
Why not make an AI factory too, but whatever.
JohnHOST
So yeah, It's your basic, like, we bring 20-ish people in and then we're whittling them down through random challenges and bullshit and it's all candy-themed and whatnot.
JohnHOST
I think she might have finished it.
JohnHOST
She was just like, I just want to know how it ends now.
JohnHOST
But between AI Gene Wilder, which I was like, you couldn't have got some Gene Wilder impersonator.
JohnHOST
You had to do the AI Gene.
Nick Allen-DucatHOST
The original
Susie O'NeillHOST
starting Gene Wilder, yeah.
Susie O'NeillHOST
It was
Nick Allen-DucatHOST
pretty cooked, the premise, if you think about what happened to the kids when they go in there.
Susie O'NeillHOST
Although looking at it now, I don't know why I wasn't because it looks really creepy because a chicken actually gets decapitated in that scene.
Susie O'NeillHOST
Isn't that bizarre? They would never do that now, would they, in
Nick Allen-DucatHOST
2026? Gene Wilder's doing like a weird sort of song thing and there's heads popping up next to him and Oompa Loompas running around.
Susie O'NeillHOST
That didn't scare me, but I do remember a movie that really scared me.
Junaid NiaziHOST
directed by Mel Brooks in 1974 and purposefully shot in black and white.
Junaid NiaziHOST
Gene Wilder plays Frederick Frankenstein.
Junaid NiaziHOST
He's a respected scientist and physician teaching at an American medical school.
Junaid NiaziHOST
The movie opens with him lecturing a room full of medical students.
Kevin SullivanGUEST
When I'm down, I used to do a lot of lookalike videos or whatever on the internet.
Kevin SullivanGUEST
And I have a whole separate account for Gene Wilder.
Kevin SullivanGUEST
So I do Willy Wonka.
Kevin SullivanGUEST
I have the costume.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
I guess they won't get it.
Alex WilshinHOST
And then it's narrated by an AI Gene Wilder voice.
Alex WilshinHOST
Oh, no.
Alex WilshinHOST
Like I said, dude, this is the most insidious display of capitalism ever concocted.
