Do not start this episode unless you intend to finish…

This week, we’re talking about the film franchise that no one expected, Jumanji! 

Jack Black is having a moment with the Super Mario Bros. Movie, so we wanted to go back to the start of what was called the “Jack Blackaissance”, – his performance in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. 

Because we love Jumanji, we couldn’t pick just one to talk about so we decided to talk about everything from the original to the upcoming fourth film.

We start out with a very quick chat about the incredible trailer for Meg 2: The Trench (0:07), before we get into the game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind (04:12).

Topics include: how to update a classic, the best character matches and why Jumanji would make a great horror movie.

We tease next week’s episode at the end if you listen to those things (1:07:38). 

In the meantime, let us know what you think about Jumanji and don't forget to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!
