## Resource

What if a board game could trap you for 26 years… and when you finally escape, you’re Robin Williams in full survival mode? That’s Jumanji — and it’s way darker, weirder, and more heartfelt than you might remember. In this episode of What If I Don’t Like It? , Scott and I revisit the 1995 classic after traveling to Keene, New Hampshire for the 30th Anniversary celebration — inflatable animal stampede, restored theater screening, scavenger hunt, and all. We dig into: The secret lore of the Jumanji game (and its Zathura connection) Casting “what ifs” from Tom Hanks to Sean Penn Robin Williams’ incredible professionalism on set The CGI vs. practical effects magic — and the wheezing rhino that stole the show How a movie can still shape a community 30 years later From behind-the-scenes chaos to wild trivia, this is part movie deep-dive, part travelogue, and a whole lot of 90s nostalgia. Follow & rate the show so you never miss our takes on movies you think you know (but might not).
