Flopcast 724: The Wizard of Oz 1939 – We’re Off to See the Chicken

Flopcast 724 Wizard of Oz

Flopcast episode 724! A few weeks ago, we reviewed the 1925 silent black and white version of The Wizard of Oz, and it was… not great. So this week, we’re watching the 1939 version, which has sound and color (you know, mostly), and is arguably the superior film. And we’re here to talk about it. Our discussion includes: Professional show chickens, crullers, how people are still suckered by psychics, Dorothy’s red hair, professional show crows, Martin Short as a picket fence, the Tin Man’s Boston accent, “Existential Blues” by Tom “T-Bone” Stankus, a scarecrow with a gun, fake owls, and Huey Lewis.
