588: "Stampede!!!" | Jumanji (1995)

Grab the dice and watch out for monkeys, because we’re diving headfirst into the stampede of sound, spectacle, and emotional storytelling that is Jumanji (1995). It’s a jungle-in-a-box, people! Vines through the ceiling, carnivorous plants in the kitchen, and a board game that makes Monopoly look like a nap.

Robin Williams swings in as a man-child with jungle PTSD, Bonnie Hunt brings the therapy and the sarcasm, and two traumatized kids have to survive a suburban safari of crocodiles, monsoons, and—you guessed it—giant freakin’ mosquitoes. Roll those dice, face your fears, and join us as we crack open this wild '90s time capsule—because in Jumanji , the only way out… is through.
