Wonka 2: Chocolate Boogaloo | Chapter 273

Episode Summary This week's episode is a sugar rush of nerd news and chaotic commentary as the crew celebrates Cinco de Mayo with tacos, tangents, and just a hint of cinematic existential dread. From Marvel potentially rewriting its own history with an Endgame re-release, to accidental spoilers slipping out faster than multiverse variants, to a surprisingly passionate breakdown of Wonka 2, things get weird… in the best way.
