Wonka

The unsolicited origin story of renowned chocolatier, Willy Wonka. Turns out he isn’t a completely unhinged cynical hater of children… which is disappointing to be honest. Instead he is an innovative imagineer who will trust and befriend anyone just so he can make his mom proud.

The Quake

Poor Kristian can’t catch a break when another disaster seems to personally come after him. Geologist Kristian must once again convince his loved ones that he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to literal geology. That’s almost as ridiculous as the fact that every member of the Eikjord family purposefully puts themselves in stupidly precarious situations just so we have to watch Kristian fret more.
