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.
