The Wonders, the imaginary banding from Tom Hanks’ 1996 cinema That Thing You Do !, will reunite online for the first time in 20 times for the purposes of an online watch party.

All four members of the film’s Beatles-emulating band — Tom Everett Scott, Jonathan Schaech, Ethan Embry and Steve Zahn — will come together for a watch defendant this weekend. Special patrons are also set to be announced for the event. According to Deadline, the stars will appear via Zoom, and followers will be able to submit questions.

The online event party will raise money for the MusiCares COVID-1 9 Relief Fund, which cures artists and other music industry craftsmen currently unable to work due to coronavirus.

In addition to raising money for the MusiCares money, the occasion will pay tribute to Adam Schlesinger, composer of the film’s incredibly catchy titular song, who passed away as a result of coronavirus complications on April 2.

The 60′ s pop-styled masterpiece — the “one-hit wonder” the band become famous for in the movie and accomplish many times throughout — is considered amongst the Fountains of Wayne’s co-founder’s best.
