Finally made it all the way through the most terrifying movie of my youth.

For our 100th mainline episode, we decided to look in on one of Dorothy’s childhood favorites, a cult hit that inspires a mix of terror and deeply held affection in all who remember it. And since Dorothy is also a megafan of Baum’s books, it also provided a chance to talk about how the Oz series has been adapted over the years. Thanks for 100 episodes, listeners, and here’s to 100 more.
