Finishing out the 1930s with two of the most popular movies ever made! One is a romanticized fantasy about a place that never existed, the other is The Wizard of Oz!

We're joined by video essayist/writer/former US history teacher Nats Can Fly! Be sure to check out her YouTube channel here. 

Also, we talk about a quintessential John Ford western, Frank Capra's most Capra-esque film to date, and a really sad Kenji Mizuguchi Kabuki drama!

This episode we're talking about reefer (madness), so you don't want no part of this shit! No shorts this time so we get right into it with the aforementioned anti-drug "movie", Humphrey Bogart making a big splash, Fritz Lang turning his critical eye towards the USA, Frank Capra's feel-goodery, a nightmarish look into the future, and Charlie Chaplin's final film as The Tramp! All of that and more!
