    Can an Emmy-nominated actor make the Glasgow Wonka experience a stage hit?

    That bizarre Wonka experience set in a creepy warehouse in Scotland is apparently getting a musical, with comedian Riki Lindhome (of Garfunkel and Oates fame) involved.

    It’ll be called Willy Fest: A Musical Parody, and the producer, Richard Kraft, hopes people who watch it “won’t be left in tears,” according to the BBC.

    Prepare your final popcorn bowls for the last Twitch Prime Video Watch Party.

    A Twitch help page says it’s ending the feature that lets people watch Amazon Prime Video and chat together on April 2nd, as its usage has “declined over the years” since its 2020 rollout.

    The feature lives on for Prime Video subscribers. But if you and your friends want to watch Ricky Stanicky or whatever, the host will need to have an ad-free subscription.

    “The bundles, they are like children to me.”

    Larry Hryb, aka “Major Nelson,” did a little reminiscing on Threads this week, posting videos from his time with Microsoft’s Xbox division, which he departed from back in December.

    One video is him running down features of the original incarnation of Xbox Live, but I’m more interested in this parody of defunct electronics store Crazy Eddie’s commercials — something the company did regularly.
