ProCo Episode 144: Wonka in the House – Monopoly

Apple Spotify Rss

Lets crunch the numbers. We got Monopoly, a board game that everyone knows but no one really likes. We got a half hour span of tv air time in 1990. Put those hands together and you have a pretty boring game show that we don’t really want to talk about all that much. Result: 20+ minutes of Willy Wonka discussion and some personal takes on capitalism to boot.

Zach discovers a Mouse Trap game show, Jared knows too much about the second Wonka book, and Adam spins up some impromptu board game trivia.

Talking Points Include: Wonka Talk, The Four Deaths of Merv Griffin, Fixing Presidential Pardons, Sexy Theme Song, Webopoly, Flash Videos, Bad Board Game Varieties, That’s Monopoly Baby Bop
