About this Episode
It's hard to imagine a world without The Wizard of Oz, but before 1900 that's exactly what it was. This week, Matt and Tony follow the Yellow Brick Road back to L. Frank Baum's original novel to explore the humble origins of one of America's most enduring pieces of myth-making. They'll discuss the book, the differences between it and MGM's 1939 adaptation, its legacy, and their own relationships with this iconic story.
