The RSA gang is back with an extra podcast this week! This time the gang visits one of the most classic movies of all time, and one of Gene Wilder’s best films, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children - but will the lad find the last remaining one and have all his dreams come true? Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy film directed by Mel Stuart from a screenplay by Roald Dahl, based on his 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It stars Gene Wilder as candymaker Willy Wonka. The film tells the story of a poor child named Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum) who, upon finding a Golden Ticket in a chocolate bar, wins the chance to visit Willy Wonka's chocolate factory along with four other children from around the world. Filming took place in Munich from August to November 1970. Dahl was credited with writing the film's screenplay; however, David Seltzer was brought in to do an uncredited rewrite. Against Dahl's wishes, changes were made to the story, and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film. The musical numbers were written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley while Walter Scharf arranged and conducted the orchestral score. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was released in the United States on June 30, 1971, by Paramount Pictures. With a budget of $3 million, the film received generally positive reviews from critics, but was not a big financial success, only earning $4 million by the end of its original run. It received a nomination for Best Original Score at the 44th Academy Awards and Wilder was nominated for Best Performance in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical at the 29th Golden Globe Awards. The film also introduced the song "The Candy Man", which went on to be recorded by Sammy Davis Jr. and become a popular hit. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory has since become highly popular on repeated television airings and home video sales. In 2014, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress, as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.

Season 3 of Ready, Set, Action Commentaries begins! Before James Cameron's Titanic there was a black and white version of Titanic, only thing is, this movie isn't 3 hours long! Also, when is 20th Century Fox gonna start handing out our checks, cause the gang seems to do a lot of their movies. Of course the story of Titanic begins of course in 1912. This story of course has the same ending, the ship sinks. The story follows an estranged couple as Richard Sturges follows his runaway wife Julia onto the ill fated RMS Titanic. Richard is forced to stowaway in third class with a family he purchased a ticket from.

During the voyage, Julia's daughter Annette becomes the love interest of one of the ships passengers, Giff Rogers, who is played by Robert Wagner. Julia also runs into a priest who has been defrocked over alcoholism. Giff and Annette at first don't hit it off, but on the morning of April 14th they begin to. Julia intending on getting her children away from the lavish lifestyle of the rich, tells Richard that his son Norman is not his, but is the result of a one night stand she had after an argument with him. Richard, ashamed at this news he tells Julia how he will no longer claim his son and that he no longer wishes to see him. Everything comes together unfortunately on that evening, as Titanic strikes an iceberg and begins to sink, putting thousands of people in mortal danger. There aren't enough lifeboats for everyone aboard, Richard in doing the right thing, makes sure that the family he tagged along with gets on a lifeboat safely, as well as his family.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE! Thought the gang was done? Nope! A surprise podcast to end season 2 of the show! We end season 2 of the show and go into season 3 in a couple hours with a tribute movie reaction to Matthew Perry, and the gang does it with one of Perry’s most under appreciated movies ever, as he teams up with one of the greatest comedic actors ever, the ever lovable Chris Farley! The story begins in 1804, a drunken tracker named Bartholomew Hunt about to be hanged. When all of a sudden, a man named Leslie Edwards arrives to pardon his execution! He has a motive behind halting this execution, he would like Hunt to join him on his journey to chart a map to the Pacific Ocean. There’s one problem, Lewis and Clark have already began their journey to the Pacific. Now Hunt and Edwards have joined a crew of bumbling idiots, a priest, and a translator who wants the men to keep eyes off his “property”, his woman. Now the two must brave the wilderness with the unlikely group of men and brave Native Americans, wild animals, and for some reason Spaniards! The men and the leaders of course have their differences, and wow is it big differences. On a stop at a tavern the men lose their translator, who has since bitten off the ear of Bidwell, one of the men in the group. They lose him to an unlikely Spanish villain only known as, Hidalgo. Hunt though, comes to the rescue, in a weird way. He challenges the men to a drinking duel, which this drunken idiot, WINS! Edwards soon begins a love interest in Shaquinna, the Native American who was owned by the French translator Guy Fontenot. A very awkward love interest. This movie then goes on to continue some weird adventures, wacky slapstick comedy, and lines that you just don’t expect to hear. Join the gang as they finish off 2023 with a hilarious underrated and under appreciated Chris Farley and Matthew Perry movie, Almost Heroes!

Episode 2 of Band of Brothers is the day of all days, D-Day. The largest invasion in military history begins. The men of Easy Company begin their war with jumping out of planes as the allied forces jump into Normandy. They are the first wave of the military on D-Day and must help destroy German artillery that are firing onto the beaches of Normandy. The Germans are firing upon Utah Beach, killing American Army men. Dick Winters begins his war without a weapon and must lead his men in this first battle of the war with the allied forces behind enemy lines. Winters is forced into this position due to the leader of Easy Company dying during the jump into Normandy. The war has begun, and now the men of Easy Company must stick together and help one another in this deadly war, and they must help one another survive so they can end this war and go back home to their families.

We have finally reached our first HBO series! Mike and Inika begin a 10 episode 5 week journey and join the men of Easy Company of the 101st Airbourne. Band of Brothers! In this first episode the men begin their training for war. The men of Easy Company don't have it easy, it has nothing to do with the training. It has to do with the power hungry CO they have, First Lieutenant Herbert Sobel. A man with the ability to be a strong officer, but unfortunately his leadership skills and ability to read a map and battlefield tactics are something that the men of Easy Company are worried about. They don't want to follow an officer who will get men killed because of his inability to have battlefield tactics. We also see how the other officers are butting heads with Sobel, Lieutenant Richard "Dick" Winters. Winters became one of the top men in this series and the war itself. As the men face issues with their officers and other issues, they also prepare their minds for the war they are about to fight in. Many men know they will not come back home alive.
