Whimsical Will's 20th Summer Movie Adventure (July 9, 2005)Whimsical Will, a longtime member of the Dr. Demento radio show, has released his 20th Summer Movie Adventure, and no, it's not about Star Wars, The Fantastic Four, or even Bewitched.This time, his target is on "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a fantasy adventure that will be released in theaters this coming Friday. It's a rough remake of the classic Gene Wilder "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." "A Trip To The Chocolate Factory" is a break-in interview record where Will asks questions that are answered by excerpts of popular songs, both in the fields of Top 40 and the genre of Dementia. The sketch will be played on the Dr. Demento show the weekend of July 9 and 10. You can visit his website http://www.whimsicalwill.com/.
