Ep. 8 - “Repainting the Yellow Brick Road” (A Deep Dive into MGM’s The Wizard of Oz)

A listener suggested we do a Wizard of Oz deep dive, so we gladly obliged! Exploring the conditions of film artistry back in the late 1930s is quite an interesting journey that shows us how much the industry has grown in fair treatment and working conditions, as well as areas in which we still lack. We discuss the history of the Jitterbug, special effects mechanisms, conditions on-set, hospitalizations, and abuse from authority figures and supervisors. TW: gore and abuse

Today’s beans are from Black Press Coffee Shop based in Tennessee! We tried one of their Guji, Ethiopia single-origin coffees (and it was delicious). Order their coffee here!
