I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore... This month, we're talking about kids' classics, and it doesn't get much more classic and comforting than The Wizard of Oz! Claire from Why the Flick podcast joins us to discuss the (occasionally dark and dangerous) history of this landmark movie, the challenges of producing a Technicolor fantasy musical for children in early Hollywood, Judy Garland's megawatt star power, the immeasurable influence of Oz on the movie landscape, and our own personal experiences with The Wizard of Oz as kids and now. Follow us down the yellow brick road and give it a listen!
Claire is a social media manager and the cohost of Why the Flick?, a weekly movie podcast where two friends and former journalists ask the hard-hitting questions. Her favorite films include Mrs. Doubtfire, Guardians of the Galaxy, and of course Jurassic Park.
