85 years ago, L. Frank Baum’s classic tale was adapted into the first film that used technicolor. That movie was The Wizard of Oz. In this episode we discuss that epic film. We talk about the acting, characters, and the sheer spectacle that must have left crowd’s awestruck. We discuss the themes of the source material and how well this film works as an adaptation. We get into the Disney sequel made over forty years later and how it’s such a departure from the MGM take. we also give our opinions on how Hollywood has used the Oz material ever since.

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Beth, Anji, Felicity, and Eric join the cast.

Show Notes:

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 1, Episode 24: “Desert Crossing” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. The Enterprise responds to a distress call and the captain they rescue is so grateful, he invites Archer and Trip down to his sunny home planet for a visit. Looking forward to a boondoggle, the boys head to the planet where they drink some wine and enjoy some slow-motion space lacrosse before learning that they’re actually maybe in a terrorist camp and things switch from Baywatch to 24 REAL FAST.

Flopcast episode 664! Normally we save our “Too Many Comics” reviews for the ESO Network’s Patreon supporters. But this one is for everybody, as Kevin and the Mayor flip through the oldest comic book we have here at the studio. And oh yes, it features a chicken. Published by Quality Comics way back in 1946, it’s Egbert #4. In the lead story, Egbert the chicken and his fox buddy The Count enter a pie-eating contest. Try to contain your excitement. And because comic books were much larger back in the Golden Age, we also have stories with Nero Owl, Rollo Raccoon, Picklefoot Pig, the Bunny Boys, Beany Bear, and more. (All this for a dime!) Plus: Weird ads for Pepsi, cap guns, and electric football games. Now according to an online price guide, our Egbert comic is virtually worthless. (And you’ll find out why!) But come on, it’s a chicken comic from 80 years ago, and you can’t put a price on this kind of silliness.
