Tara and EmKay talk Oz remotely for the first time ever! Film history's iconic twister scene is broken down with a very serious reenactment, some actual tips on storm preparedness for your farm, the behind the scenes creation of Oz's realistic twister, and how director King Vidor survived his own natural disaster before recreating the one that would transport Dorothy to dreamland (or a not so dreamland?... you decide!). Theories on Miss Gulch resurface!
