Thanksgiving leftovers, holiday haze, and a whole lot of screen time—this week we’re unpacking what we watched after the big meal.Everything from a Stranger Things rewatch and a November movie binge to a spoiler-free look at Wake Up Dead Man. We even have sports with a college football breakdown and a look at Disney’s massive Zootopia 2 opening.What leftovers did YOU watch this week?

For Food & Family Month, the So Many Sequels crew unwraps one of the strangest and most iconic family films of all time, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971). Gene Wilder delivers one of cinema’s most unpredictable performances, and we break down why his version of Wonka is still the gold standard of chaotic candy moguls.

From unsettling tunnel boat rides to bratty children meeting VERY questionable fates, we revisit the film’s dark humor, musical numbers, and the surprisingly emotional heart at its center. The guys share their childhood memories of the movie, debate Wilder vs. Depp vs. Chalamet, and explore how the film became both a cult classic and a meme factory.

It’s nostalgic, bizarre, deliciously weird, and the perfect pick for Food & Family Month.

Are we ready for Woody and Buzz to battle… an iPad? The Toy Story 5 trailer is here, and the "Millennial Dad" energy in the room is off the charts. We break down whether the franchise has finally run out of batteries or if Pixar is about to deliver a necessary critique on screen time. Plus, we’re asking the hard questions: Is the new Michael Jackson biopic doomed by its own casting?
