Robin Williams tribute watch: Part I: ‘Flubber’



So, as promised in my tribute video, I will be doing rewatches of Flubber, Jumanji and Hook in tribute to Robin Williams. I decided to start with Flubber because out of the three, I haven’t seen it as recently, and it was also the first out of the three I watched.

The movie starts with Professor Phillip Brainard (yes … Brainard) waking up in a house clearly designed by Doc Brown. As we see more of his house, where a series of automated contraptions that would make Wallace envious, the opening credits play – and I do very much like the styling as graphs. We then get introduced to Weebo, and I must say, the visual effects have aged quite nicely. I mean, if you look not too carefully, it’s clear she’s greenscreen, and the shadows don’t match exactly, but if you’re just watching, she doesn’t look out of place. It isn’t distracting.

Also, I spent much of my childhood wishing I owned a Weebo. I mean it’s a floating sapient robot with a TV screen that can show media. Who wouldn’t?!

Brainard gets Weebo to show him his schedule. Brainard, living up to the name of being the absent-minded professor, knows he’s forgetting something, but can’t remember what. Weebo, being a bit of a jerk, doesn’t bother reminding him that he’s forgetting his wedding. She does show highlight it on her screen … but only when Brainard is busy burying his head in his hands to help him remember. All Weebo does is tell Brainard she has no idea what he could be forgetting while all the while showing the wedding on her screen. Yeah, big help Weebo!

We cut to Dr. Sara Jean Reynolds, who is the president of the college Brainard works at. She’s somewhat unprofessionally standing on her desk getting her dress fitted (isn’t that something that happens before the day of the wedding? Hang on, lemme ask Beadle. – Yeah, no apparently that’s done months in advance. Also, I have never attended a Western wedding ceremony. I’ve only attended Pakistani ones, which aren’t one day events (there are about three or four, across a couple of months to a year, depending on the family). Depending on which one of the day it is, they last a couple of hours in the early afternoon, or a couple of hours in late evening, or the big days are most of the day early afternoon onwards – is it normal for these weddings to happen early evening? Especially with the reception afterwards? And definitely not on a work day? I can’t imagine you’d wanna spend the day you’re getting married working and then go to your own wedding.  Hang on, lemme ask Beadle. Yeah, no, I’m right. Thought so. So why on earth are these two nutters doing it now. I mean, as is soon established, Brainard keeps missing weddings because of being forgetful and busy – but still doesn’t explain why they have to arrange it on a work day. Heck, even making a whole big day out of it would make it less easy to forget – the fact that he’s having a normal day until the wedding would guarantee to make him forget!). Anyway, Reynolds is on the phone about her college’s financial problems. She then complains about Brainard missing the wedding one was ‘justifiable, twice understandable, [but] three times …’. I don’t know, if the person I was marrying couldn’t remember we were getting married once, I wouldn’t be that impressed, but what do I know?

Brainard arrives at the college on a scooter that seems to use some sort of contraption that blows exhaust out to propel it … I assume electric scooters hadn’t been invented yet. He then absent-mindedly walks into an art class where they’re doing live art (that thing where they get two people to be naked so they can draw them) and starts immediately teaching Newton’s Laws, only pausing to note the bowl of fruit and the dead pheasant on his desk but apparently not the array of canvases or the two naked people in front of him. I mean, I’ve never, obviously, been to an American college, and loads of movies have shown college professors simply stride into a class and start teaching, so I will assume that’s what happens – as opposed to us more logical Brits, who have teachers who actually bother to actually acknowledge their class is in front of them before teaching. Apparently life moves much faster in America.

Despite looking at the art students multiple times during his lecture, he apparently does not notice they are artists and not physicists. While somewhat unprofessional for a teacher to not take note of his students attention, it’s not unprecedented for someone speaking to phase out their audience. I do that when I’m debating. I don’t notice the audience unless I mentally tune in to see their reaction to something I said (although, when I am instructing with my Cadet Force, I do take note to make sure they’re paying attention – but that’s less of a performance than debating. Even so, I am showing better teaching skills then Brainard is).
However he then proceeds to directly refer to the two naked people in front of him to demonstrate attraction. I wonder what things are normally like in his physics class for this not to be strange. He then proceeds to flip his blackboard and when he sees the words ‘Live Art Class’ on the blackboard, then realises this isn’t his class.

He then bumps into Sara and Ruby Martha. There’s a genuinely humorous exchange where Martha asks Brainard how he holds his excitement in for the wedding, and he assumes its hers before Sara exasperatingly points out its theirs. When she tells him when and where, he excitedly points out he’s been to the venue before. Sara points out that’s because they rehearsed last night. Two points: 1. I don’t get why weddings have rehearsals. They’re not performances? Why don’t you just do it then and there? 2. I really think Brainard’s absent-mindedness is now more of mental health problems causing amnesia and Sara should get him to a clinic.

Weebo shows off her running gag of referencing pop culture on her screen to make a point when she shows a clip from The Three Stooges to tell another robot to shut up. Lol, like who’d do that?

Not me!

Meanwhile, Mr. Antagonist (who, if I hadn’t remembered from my very good memory of the last time I watched this years ago, the ominious music playing would’ve let me know his designation in this movie) walks in on Brainard experimenting in a lecture hall (which looks like it’s a converted sports gym? Or maybe that’s how all American colleges look, idk). This is Wilson (the go-to name for rich villains) Croft. Croft used to be Brainard’s science buddy before he stole Brainard’s ideas to make money (he tries to justify it by saying Brainard would’ve lost them anyway. True, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t cut him some of the share? It doesn’t really justify theft!) Croft then describes himself as the less clever of the two, corrupt and jealous of Brainard. Well … he’s aware of his faults … that’s good I guess? But then he tells Brainard he’s there to steal his fiancée. Booooo! As Brainard leaves, Croft starts to evily laugh, but it’s thankfully cut as we go to the next scene.

As Brainard gets ready for his wedding, he asks Weebo if she has a virus that might have deleted the wedding from his schedule. She says that’s a possibility, even though the wedding wasn’t deleted. What nefarious scheme is Weebo playing. Brainard says she does feel hot and that she might have a fever – despite the more obvious solution that any computer scientist would come up with that her cooling system is faulty or she’s simply processing a lot. He then asks her to go ‘aaaaaaah’ (to what end?!?! She doesn’t even have a mouth!!!!!) before realising that perhaps changing something from ‘HOT’ to ‘COLD’ would make his experiment work. He goes to a formula on his computer and there is the word ‘HOT’ written on a formula. I’m not a scientist (except, I actually am) but I’m certain ‘HOT’ isn’t a correct scientific term to use in a formula. ‘Temperature’ would be more correct. Maybe ‘Heat’. What would ‘HOT’ mean? Anyway he changes it to ‘COLD’ (although, then the formula subsequently changes the line from ‘HOT’ to a collection of symbols instead. I see the symbol for ‘change of’ and a natural log). He then runs off to presumably do this experiment as Weebo cancels the wedding in the schedule, and then shows a clip of the Cheshire Cat laughing.

“We’re all mad here.”  – Sorry, not a relevant quote, but I do love that quote.

Brainard proceeds to use a very large distilling rig to do some science. Uses his hair as a catalyst (?!?!). Then he proceeds to pass some electricity through a container, causing a big explosion, for some reason. Incidentally, McDonalds gave out Flubber toys in their Happy Meals once. I got a Flubber play-doh that came in a toy version of that container, so I remember it well 😀
Meanwhile Sara is crying about being stood up again :'( (And Croft Jerkpants is smiling smugly. Jerkface!)

Meanwhile, the container is smoking and whistling. No, it’s not on it’s lunch break (ba dum tiss- oh nevermind). Something is moving inside of it. Tense Disney Music plays as Brainard opens the container and out pops a green Odo!

The green Odo proceeds to imitate climb onto Brainards hand and just be adorable. Think Baby Groot and times by 100. It then sneezes, despite having no nose (ba du- oh forget it). Brainard explains this is because he was at 77 degrees Kelvin, which is almost -200 degrees Celsius, which is rather cold. Brainards begins to play with green Odo, using technobabble to describe its properties, which include ‘phase shift’ (it’s not shifting phase … it’s just changing its shape). This green goo is also ticklish, somehow. It also shows off its amazing elasticity, allowing to bounce a lot, which I’m sure won’t be a plot point later! It also does what Odo cannot do and split. But when Weebo uses flash photography, Odo goes crazy and starts bouncing everywhere and imitating that scene from Men in Black with the the practical joke from the Great Attractor.

As Odo smashes out of the window, Weebo sarcastically comments that the Professor perhaps gave it too much free will. Apparently you can now create sapient life and give it free will. What an interesting philosophical proposal … but this is a Disney movie, so frick that, we got slapstick comedy to move on to!

Odo proceeds to cause a variety of damage to windows and skulls as it bounces through numerous houses. At one point, one guy tries to jump on Odo, and bounces off of him into a wall. I’m sure that won’t be important later!

 Meanwhile Brainard pulls baseball glove out of his cupboard (he doesn’t seem to be the sporty type, but I’ve watched a lot of American movies and baseball gloves just seem to be the sort of thing every American owns anyway, like scissors or plates) and somehow positions himself in exactly the right place in his house to catch Odo when he breaks back in. Brainard incorrectly refers to its amazing inertia, and as it proceeds to break Newton’s Laws by somehow forcing Brainard’s hands around without anyway to do so, Weebo describes it as flying rubber, even though neither of them have seen it actually fly, only bounce in controlled fashion. Brainard names it Flubber, so now I can stop calling it green Odo!

At the church, Sara leaves all alone (she obviously has such supportive friends! Frick Martha!) where Jerkface is waiting for her to give her a lift home (maybe he killed her friends?). Back to Brainard’s house, where he is assuring Weebo his experiment to bombard Flubber with radiation (I could probably make sense of his technobabble explanation and then explain why its wrong, but it’s half two in the morning, and I’m too tired for that, so no) will be safe. Why he is assuring Weebo, a robot who can’t possibly be damaged by radiation in the same way a human can, I am not sure. By somehow bombarding Flubber with radiation, Brainard is able to make it levitate, taking the container it is in with it. Brainard is ecstatic, and Weebo plays a clip of Goofy laughing .. goofily … for some reason.

I’m not sure about the feasibility of this. Sure, a radioactive source of levitation is cleaner burning fuel to cause thrust … but then you’d have all the radioactive waste to dispose of. In any case. Brainard’s watch alarm goes off at 0630, and he starts to get ready for his wedding before Weebo points out it was 12 hours ago. It’s 6:30 in the morning, the day after the wedding. And this, kids, is why you should use the 24 hour clock system. Brainard goes to apologise to Sara, who is obviously pissed at him. Understandably Sara doesn’t care about his explanation for not being there. Brainard tries to demonstrate Flubber by placing him in his back pocket and jumping out of the window, intending Flubber’s bounciness to propel him back up. (Flubber clearly is somehow able to screw over the laws of physics by not losing any energy as heat.) However, Flubber, clearly sick of Brainard’s antics, decides to burst out of his pocket, leaving him to fall to his death. Just kidding, he somehow, despite being a rather aged man, survives the fall unhurt. Sara seems irresponsibly unfazed by this, simple telling him they’re finished as opposed to, you know, calling an ambulance! Also, as Brainyard rolls over on the floor, we see his trousers do not have back pockets … erm.

Meanwhile, at a mansion, Wil Wheaton Wesley arrives, complaining to his dad that he got kicked out of college despite him paying money to the college and getting his organisation to ensure he got straight As in order to get into business school. Evil Boss Dad tells his mooks to find a way to blackmail the chemistry professor so he will change Wil Wheaton Wesley’s grades to an A.

The mooks arrive at …. Brainard’s house? Wait, I thought he was a physics professor? Whatever, he is experimenting with crystalised Flubber when the mooks, sporting quite nice overcoats, arrive. He applies the Flubber to handcream, which he smears on a golf ball, noting that he has smeared it evenly over the entire surface, which he clearly hasn’t done, before dropping it, causing it to turn into a super bouncy ball but still a golf ball, which probably wasn’t the best idea, because golf balls can kill people. The ball proceeds to bounce everywhere before flying out of the window and hits a mook in the head, who is lucky that he lives in a world occupied by Home Alone physics otherwise he’d have a giant whole in his head. His friend seems amused by this, rather than immediately rushing to treat him for severe concussion, while Brainard, seemingly not satisfied with the amount of destruction he has caused his house so far, proceeds to apply the Flubber to a bowling ball. Also, as a scientist, he is not doing very much data logging, so I’m not sure what he hopes to achieve out of these experiments, but to be fair, they do seem to be more prototyping than anything else. I’ll let it pass.

Predictably, the same happens with the bowling ball as the golf ball, (though mostly off-screen. I assume the VFX budget was falling low here) and whacks the other mook, who survives through physics taking a nap. The two balls (hehehhahhehhahhahaa- sorry) had bounced off their heads into the sky, and now proceed to fall back down, hitting both the mooks again. Yay slapstick.

Brainard somehow managed to now liquefy Flubber into a fluid, and places it into a spray bottle, while the two mooks wisely take cover. They decide to run for the car after the bowling ball hits the ground, but do not notice Brainard accidentally spraying the ground outside of them. As they jump onto the ground from their cover, they are propelled into a tree outside a kid’s bedroom, ensuring he requires a couple of years of therapy.

Meanwhile Brainard has been retro fixing his car with a flux capacitor a Flubber engine, giving it the ability to fly when gamma radiation is injected into it.

“Wait, Doc? You mean this sucker’s nuclear?!”

There’s also a witty moment where Weebo is accidentally trapped in the bonnet, and when Brainard asks her what she was doing, she sarcastically tells him she was flirting with the engine. Weebo objects to flying in the car with Brainard, under the reasoning that she has a queasy gyro and gets carsick. Brainard tells her she ‘won’t blow chips, [as she] doesn’t have a stomach’, which also fails to take into account that Weebo is a levitating robot … surely she should be fine flying!

In a very Back to the Futureesque scene, Brainard flies his car down the street. Weebo, being the sarcy little git she is, plays clips on her screen which I remember even today, despite not seeing this movie in years – including cars crashing spectacularly and Goofy reading a book of ‘how to fly’. Brainard ends up crashing the car into a tree outside the kid’s bedroom again, giving him many more years of therapy.

He ends up at Sara’s house, where she’s having a drink with Jerkface, who gives the glorious line ‘it’s a pleasure to spend time with you without Brainard hovering above us’, as the camera pans up to Brainard hovering above him. They both agree to meet as a basketball game. Croft makes a bet that if Sara’s team wins, she can buy him dinner, if her team loses, she has to go with him into the mountains for the weekend. Sara is clearly freaked out about this, but tells him she’ll think about it, clearly so he’ll leave. Brainard sees Jerkface for being a jerkface and throws an apple into his jerkhead, causing him to fall over (which is more than can be said for when Mrs. Doubtfire tries a similar drive-by fruiting to Pierce Brosnan).

The mooks are trying to explain what happened to them, but only succeed in convincing Dad Boss Evil they’re drunk, until they take off their ice packs to reveal two massive lumps that make them look like Ferengis. Meanwhile Weebo tries to make Brainard feel better by telling him Sara should love him for what he is. Brainard thanks her, but rather coldly, I feel, tells her she’s not qualified to talk about love, and that he has to deal with his heartache alone, as a computer would not understand – which is rather harsh. Weebo goes onto a computer and fashions out of many pictures a female image who she names Sylvia, which she then projects as a hologram. This hologram is about to somehow makeout with Brainard when he wakes up with an idea. As Weebo rushes to delete her female image, Brainard claims to have solved all their problems, by taking Flubber to the basketball game.

Brainard arrives at the court early where he applies it to his feet, allowing him to jump to extraordinary heights. Despite ending with an out of control basketball and himself propelling into the stands even with a bungee cord attached to a ballast, he exclaims his experiment a success!

As he is preparing tacks to give the team he and Sara are supporting a winning edge, Weebo rightly points out this is cheating. Brainard exclaims it isn’t cheating, it’s equalising. The age old argument for using drugs in sporting events, I might mention. He leaves Weebo in charge, making her promise to behave.

If Serenity had been broadcast before this film, this is what Weebo would’ve played on her screen.

Brainard somehow manages to sneak into his teams changing room as OMG IT’S TED BUCKLAND FROM SCRUBS AS THE COACH 😀

Lookin’ bald and sweaty! 

Anyway, Ted is half-heartedly not really giving his team a pep talk (basically describing how the other team is better than them) as Brainyard attaches tacks with Flubber on them to their shoes. Also the team is made up of what Holywood considers nerds to be, short, unfit, ungraceful people who are all wearing glasses (and safety goggles during the match).

Meanwhile, Weebo releases the Flubber. Who proceeds to be very bouncy as Medfield (Sara’s and Brainard’s team) proceed to be trashed royally. Dad Evil Boss is also here, betting against Wil Wheaton Wesley’s old team (Medfield) to his complaints. I’m not sure why they kicked him off, when he can only be much better than the other guys are, unless it’s because of his academic failures, but as I understand it, most schools are fine with people being idiots if they can sport well. But whatever. Brainard gets some fun with Croft as he sits behind him and blows a horn in his face.

Weebo searches for Flubber, who accidentally hits a record player and sets off one of the most memorable scenes in the film where he splits into a group of Flubbers who proceed to perform a dance number to the music. Flubber’s CGI has also aged quite well, and this scene is still fun to watch.

At half time, Barnyard Brainard proceeds to apply Flubber cream via handshake to members of the team. Apparently the superbounciness, instead of throwing everything into chaos, actually increases Medfield’s skill as they proceed to kick butt and score hoops (as well as defy the conservation of momentum when someone who is pushed backwards proceeds to then bounce in the opposite direction). Apparently despite all the superhuman bouncing, no one decides anything illegal is going on, and the referee allows the match can continue as there is no rule about jumping too high. No, but there presumably is about using bouncey shoes? Someone should probably check? One of the kids notices the tacks in his shoe and proceeds to take it out, causing Brainard to run down and spray some Flubber onto his shoe under the pretence of cleaning them. He also uses the excuse of being a teacher to get down there, so that might explain why he was able to get into the changing room, even though it’s an away match. As per movie convention, the underdog team wins, but only at the last possible second. Sara almost hugs Brainard in celebration but no. 🙁

The mooks tell Boss Dad Evil that the same thing that let the team win was what Brainard was working on. Meanwhile Brainard tells Sara that Flubber won the match for them. Sara seems surprisingly unimpressed and stoic. She doesn’t seem to even be rebukful about the cheating. She just sort of leaves with Croft.
Also I just realised that Brainard is cosplaying the Doctor.

I know Flubber came before Smith’s Doctor, but timey wimey.

Brainard goes home and starts bemoaning his situation to Weebo. Humorously, he starts drinking …. bottled water, in what must be a parody of the trope of the hero drinking away their sorrows with alcohol. As he ‘dumps his emotional baggage’, as Wikipedia puts it, Weebo, being the crafty little git she is, starts filming him. He also says he’s absent-minded (he uses that exact phrase) because he’s so madly in love, which I guess could be true, but usually if your forgetful through being in love with someone, it’s because you’re so busy thinking about them (speaking from experience here, guys), which is not Brainard’s case. He’s absent-minded, but he’s also preoccupied with his experiments, not Sara. But whatever. Weebo remembers a show she watched earlier where a girl explains that because she loves a guy, she wants him to be with the person he loves, even if it’s not her, which is a nice bit of foreshadowing, I guess, and causes Weebo to go to Sara’s, where she rudely wakes Sara up by shining a light at her face through the window (although, as she rightly notes, she can’t ring the doorbell). She shows Sara what she just recorded of Brainard professing his love for her, but it unfortunately falls into the trap of showing it from the film’s angle. Brainyard should be looking towards the screen here because that’s where the camera is. Somehow this speech convinces Sara to give Brainard another go, even though it’s nothing more than he said earlier about still being in love with her. It still doesn’t really justify, in my opinion, him leaving her at the alter for three times in a row, but whatever. Sara returns to Brainard’s home with Weebo and makes out with Brainard, who then go for a ride in the flying car, where Sara is now oh so willing to listen to Brainard’s plan to use Flubber to raise money for the college. When they return, they’re ambushed by Evil Dad Boss, Wil Wheaton Wesley and the two mooks (who were all apparently waiting in the darkness of his garage all afternoon). Evil Boss Dad tries to get Brainard to sell Flubber to him, but Brainard wants to give Flubber to the college to sell, telling Dad Evil Boss that if he wanted money, he wouldn’t have become a teacher … which is a fair point. Evil Boss Dad tries to give them An Offer They Can’t Refuse and when they do refuse he gives them the You’re Going To Regret It look and leaves. Meanwhile the two balls (haha-ahem), having been blessed with comic timing, fall back down and clonk the two mooks again.

Brainard and Sara go to Product Placement Ford to sell their idea. The boss of Ford tells his secretary that he’s busy and to send Brainard a hat (oooooh) but his secretary tells him they’re right outside his window. Which they are. Floating. To be fair, it’s a really efficient way to pitch a car.

Meanwhile, the two mooks smash into Brainard’s house (which causes Flubber, despite being locked in his container, to give a really funky growl). As they break in to look for Flubber, Weebo comes to the defence. Wooo, go Weebo! She proceeds to wack one mook across the head. Then the next mook. And then sounding the cavalry charge, she proceeds to fly straight to another mook when-

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 The mook whacks Weebo with a baseball bat, smashing her into a wall and then the floor, where she lies on the floor broken, leaving Flubber to cry.

Brainard and Sara return to find the house broken into and Flubber hone. Brainard finds Weebo’s broken and bleeding body. This was seriously one of the saddest movie moments for me as a child, Weebo’s death. Even now, rewatching it, I am getting teary. It is an absolutely heartbreaking moment in the film.
There’s a nice moment where Brainard talks about how, when he created Weebo, he had accidentally created a ‘spark of life’ that he could never recreate. Brainard and Sara search on his computer for ‘Stork’, a file name Weebo displayed shortly before her death. Displaying Weebo’s human form, a video plays where Weebo shows a design for her daughter, before professing her love for Brainard and saying goodbye.

Brainard vengefully goes to Evil Dad Boss’ mansion to get back Flubber. Brainard tries a ploy on evil Dad Boss, saying that for a 30 day extension on the loan he gave the college, he’ll tell him everything he knows on Flubber. Dad Boss Evil agrees if he gets to own everything Brainard invents in the next two years, which Brainard agrees to. Evil Dad Boss reveals that he’s employed Jerkface to help him crack how Flubber works. Croft decides to monologue about how brilliant he is. Brainard, under the pretence of it being a ‘separating agent’ (the first technobabble that actually make sense), applies some Flubber to his and Sarah’s hands. He then tries to pull out a water fun, which looks like a real pistol, so naturally the mook disarms him of it before realising what it is. Brainard says it’s to cool Flubber down. Evil Boss Dad tells the mook to give it to him/let him have it/in his hand, each time the mook misunderstanding and thinking he wants him to shoot him with it. It’s actually a hilarious moment. Eventually the mook gets it and passes the gun to Brainard. Brainard gets Flubber out of the tank and, remote activating the headlamps on his car, flashes Flubber, causing him to go haywire again. Using Flubber tacks on his shoes, he jumps out of the way of the two mooks, who end up punching each other.

Jerkface tries to grab Sara, who proceeds to USE THE POWER OF FLUBBER to give him a beating. Yaaaaay! Brainard and Sara proceed to use extreme jumping and elasticity to fight the mooks. Wil Wheaton Wesley tries to throw an ashtray at him, but it simply bounces back into his face.

Picard would be pleased.

Sara then proceeds to catch Flubber and throw him at the fleeing Evil Boss Dude, propelling him throug ha window into a pond, no doubt causing him to either bleed or drown to death (but this is a Disney movie). Flubber bounces back and shoots into Jerkfaces jerkmouth, where it proceeds to wiggle down his throat and down his body, no doubt causing severe internal injuries before exploding from his anus and flies out a window. Croft faints and probably dies. Brainard and Sar decide to leave the room full of bodies of dead or dying people and flee.

The next day, Brainard and Sara get married- but Brainard decides that even though he’s clearly remembered the wedding (being all dressed for it and all) he still can’t be bothered actually going to the church so he decides to get married via video conference. He then blows himself up. But survives.

Meanwhile Bedroom Kid has apparently now a phobia of windows, but his dad points out that he has nothing to be afraid of in the jet they are in hundreds of feet up. Kid decides to prove that theory by opening the cover on his window. Where Flubber flies into their window, cementing the kid’s thuriphobia. Brainard and Sara are presumably flying in their car (and have apparently developed a way of surviving the conditions that high up without a supply of oxygen) to their honeymoon, with Weebette (who talks like a teenage girl) and Flubber.
And that is Flubber! One of my favourite childhood movies and undoubtedly the first Robin Williams movie I saw. Next time I will be rewatching Jumanji – for many, a film that was their foray into thrillers!
