What if a board game could trap you for 26 years… and when you finally escape, you’re Robin Williams in full survival mode? That’s Jumanji — and it’s way darker, weirder, and more heartfelt than you might remember.

In this episode of What If I Don’t Like It?, Scott and I revisit the 1995 classic after traveling to Keene, New Hampshire for the 30th Anniversary celebration — inflatable animal stampede, restored theater screening, scavenger hunt, and all.

We dig into:

• The secret lore of the Jumanji game (and its Zathura connection)

• Casting “what ifs” from Tom Hanks to Sean Penn

• Robin Williams’ incredible professionalism on set

• The CGI vs. practical effects magic — and the wheezing rhino that stole the show

• How a movie can still shape a community 30 years later
  

From behind-the-scenes chaos to wild trivia, this is part movie deep-dive, part travelogue, and a whole lot of 90s nostalgia.
