It’s Narnia — but not like you remember it. This week, Jeff and Josue revisit the 1988 BBC adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe — complete with furry face prosthetics, low-budget magic, and an ice-cold take from Josue: “This story is kinda lame.”

This week on WDYT?! we’re talking:

• ​🦁 What makes this version totally… different 😬
• ​🧙 A show-stealing White Witch with zero chill
• ​🐿️ Beavers with British accents and deeply confusing face prosthetics
• ​📚 Does the story actually hold up… or was it always kinda mid?
