Ep 17 part 1: The Wizard of Oz

Published: May 16, 2017, 2:56 p.m.

Follow the yellow brick road to the magical land of Radaptations, where your hosts discuss The Wizard of Oz-- the famous 1900 book written by L. Frank Baum and the 1939 classic directed by Victor Fleming! You'll hear how the book (which is kind of sketchy and at times, murderous) differs from the film in the surprising ways, particularly the ending. The sisters discuss, among many things, reading a moral onto the story, sympathizing with the witch, and Dorothy's irresponsible pet ownership practices. Stay tuned next week for part 2 in our Wizard of Oz series in which we discuss the BONKERS 1985 follow-up, Return to Oz. Keep in touch @radaptations and at radaptationspod@gmail.com.
