Ep 8 - The Wizard of Oz | A Not So Colourful Tale of Wonder and Whimsy

This week we are whisked away to the land over the rainbow, The Land of Oz, a place free of trouble . . . right? . . . Wrong! The Yellow Brick Road isn't as merry as it sounds, filled with exploding witches, hanging Munchkins, and a poisoned Tin Man, Oh My! Join us as we discuss 1939's 'The Wizard of Oz', its original children's novel (By L. Frank Baum), Technicolour and the questionable message it all wraps up with. Let's face the daunt of this journey ahead with courage and open our hearts to the whimsical magic of movie making, all while fighting that natural foolishness that lies dormant in our brains, because we've got a Wizard to see and we hear he's wonderful.
