The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of The Wizard of Oz on the 80th anniversary of its 1939 premiere. We don't bother to hide our love for this one; its airplay on TV since the early days of TV have only helped it become part of our culture. We get into its creation, the books, the remakes (before and after), the casting, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual crazy talk and our picks of the week.
Announcements:

Not gonna lie - I didn't believe Liz about the name of the Pink Floyd song. But she was awfully close:
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict
