Awesome the movie I picked finally won!! 🎉🥳

**prepares snack** Let’s do this! (George makes a stylish scarecrow)

Adam Wetstein

How has Simone never seen this. It is out of copyright for years. And was on TV . Colour transinstition First W of OZ then Oppenheimer

Jeff K

It's starting to get a little disconcerting just how perfectly Simone's face fits into literally any photoshop job George does.

Christina Doxstader

OK. we got to get them to react to Return to OZ now, for those who know, I think you know why this must be done

anna

The abuse Judy Garland received started long before this movie. First with her mother, then when she signed with MGM (I think she was mainly doing radio/theatre work at the start of her career but I’m not 100% sure!)

UnSafeStu

Now time for Return to Oz, I'm sorry, I'm really very sorry.

Jeff Klonowski

Ok. Now you 2 should watch Return To Oz. It's more true to the books.

Will Sofer

I kind of had forgotten how magical this movie was, especially in terms of set and cinematography, and how many things still current in pop culture had been derived from it. That being said, the books are a bit more “adult”, despite being what we would today call young adult fiction. It’s kinda dark. You guys might enjoy it. Also, I posted something earlier about this being out of copyright, but I was mistaken. It’s still under copyright for ten more years, because they renewed it back in the day. If reaction channels are still around at that point, they’re going to have a field day. Ha.

Christina Doxstader

My favorite bit of trivia from this movie is about Professor Marvel's coat. The costumer went to a nearby second hand store to find something a bit beat up and worn. They bought a whole rack and later picked one. They looked inside and found "L Frank Baum" on the inside pocket. L Frank Baum, of course, was the creator and author of the OZ books. Many people say the story was made up as a stunt but I choose to believe it's true.

MongoTheElder

Real humans never say "I'm human", definitely something shady going on

paul rai

It truly is one of the most magical films in cinema that’s gone through so much history and developed a huge amount of lure that it still manages to be relevant today. Judy Garland was such a marvel for her time and it’s saddening how much abuse and trauma she endured throughout her life (before this film, while filming it, and especially after). It would be so baller if you guys did Return to Oz.

Now on to Under the Rainbow a 1981 movie starring Carry Fischer and Chevy Chase. The IMDB synopsis is : A visiting dignitary, a CIA agent, a Nazi spy, Japanese tourists, an assassin and a group of "midget" actors from The Wizard of Oz (1939) all check into an elite Los Angeles hotel called Under the Rainbow.

starring a young Faruza Balk. I also remember my sister getting nightmares from that movie, it's definitely a bit more disturbing than this one.

Josh B

Yes Simone, the Wicked Witch of the West is Elphaba

Kron0n

And now for something completely bafflingly different, watch Return to Oz.

Ayna

Witches riding brooms: I read somewhere that witches (women) back in the day used to make hallucinogenic ointments that they'd use to grease the handle of their brooms so they could absorb the ointment through the skin rather than ingest it. Meaning they would likely insert said handle into "the most intimate areas of their bodies". Not sure how true it is, or if there were other reasons like fertility rituals using phallus-shaped items that created the myth. Maybe both? :P

JBK405

Many of the horror stories from the Making Of are false, except for the treatment of Judy Garland. But the other stories (e.g. that you can see somebody committing suicide in the forest background) are completely fictional. The books did have witches from all four directions, but South and North were combined for the movie. In the book she visited all four directions, and since they excised that from the movie they just had one good witch come to her. The “witch’s broomstick” actually comes from several different sources, but the FLYING broomstick connects to a story that a witch could fly on a pole with a hole on one end. The witches would tie sticks to the end cover up the hole and disguise it as a broom.

Jeff K

George, since you're a big Simpsons fan: remember the episode with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, when Homer starts ranting about how celebrities don't care about helping fans, and talks about how when it's time to do the dishes, where is Ray Bolger? Well, if you were perplexed as to who the hell he was talking about: Ray Bolger played the Scarecrow.

Yeah, most of the stories are urban legends. It was still a nightmare production though. Buddy Ebsen (aka Uncle Jed from Beverly Hillbillies) was originally going to play the Tin Man, but the paint they used quite literally poisoned him and he had to drop out. The movie also had 16 writers and four directors. They also nearly burned Margaret Hamilton to death in the scene where she's in the ball of fire. She ended up getting some pretty bad burns.

jmundt33a

In the book, she’s actually transported. The bubble also became a magic trope.

JoeNotCharles
>>132510364

Ironically, I think the winged monkeys in Wizard of Oz are MUCH scarier in the movie, but everything else was toned down compared to the books. (For example, the book gave the Tin Man's full backstory... He wasn't made like that, he was a human woodcutter who replaced one limb at a time because his axe kept slipping.) Return to Oz has more of that kind of thing, although I've never read the books past the first so I don't know how close it really is.

JoeNotCharles
>>132511221

Yeah, people made me watch this movie a lot when I was a kid, and I never liked it because I took for granted all the practical effects that are so impressive now. "Yeah, that guy's a lion, ok." The parts that have aged well, I couldn't appreciate when I was young, and the parts that still feel old-fashioned just feel old-fashioned. (Also my parents read me the book before I ever saw the movie, and I was bothered by the changes. It's been so long In barely remember any of them now, though.)

JoeNotCharles

Yay, an Over the Garden Wall shout-out! I'd love to see George's reaction to it - a lot of it is inspired by old-fashioned art, music and cartoons (and, yeah, movies like this one), so I think it would appeal to his love of history.

JoeNotCharles
>>132510364

Speaking of the book, yes there was a Good Witch of the South in the book. She shows up at the end to give Dorothy the secret of the Silver Slippers (not Ruby, dammit, I don't care how much more red pops on screen!) The movie just had the Witch of the North come back instead to avoid introducing another character.

I refuse to be unoriginal and join everyone in recommending Return to Oz, The Wiz, or Wicked as follow-ups. Rather, why not Cabaret (1972)? Alternately, if you prefer something more wholesome and warmhearted: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118421/ :-P

Jeb Manning

This is, in my opinion, one of the holy trinity of 1940's revolutionary fantasy movies. The other two are the 1946 Jean Cocteau version of Beauty and the Beast, known as La Belle et la Bete, and the 1940 movie The Thief of Bagdad. All three are very good, and I'd highly recommend reacting to La Belle et la Bete and The Thief of Bagdad.

Happy Hanukkah

All of us here are human. Except for me and my flying monkeys. Woo!

At first glance, I mis-parsed "revolutionary fantasy movies." "C'est la lutte finale!" :-)

In the 12th century witches are not flying. Church is considering it as a superstition. But there is no information about ways of flying. It was believed that they were flying by themselves in a company of Diane and Herodias. In the 13th century demonology is rapidly developing. Catars (Christian heretics) under tortures are telling stories about flying. Demons (sometimes in a shape of animals) are transporting them. But there are more and more witches and there is a deficit of demons. Also it is hard to believe that demon will transport a non-remarkable peasant girl while ladies are also going to a witch gathering. So average witches are starting using normal animals and sticks plus ointments made of dead children. In 1324 in Ireland witches are still using sticks to fly (case of Dame Alice Kyteler). It is notable that Alice Kyteler was using a broom for witchcraft but not for flying. Only in the middle of the 15th century the first broom flights are carried. That is approximately the time when lots of witches appeared all over the Europe. They need some stick to ride but they should not raise any suspicion in their husbands. And a broom is much more casual thing to have at home than a random stick. But even in 1487 Malleus Maleficarum (Hexenhammer) a giant book about witchcraft and witch-hunting doesn't mention brooms as a transport. Only in the 16th century when witch-hunting became BIG broomflights became a widely accepted fact

I've read it too. Idea is based on 16th century experiments with "witch's" recipes as far as I remember. But stick riding is much older. So it is a "maybe" but it is not really well backgrounded. Also I like that theory very much

Tales From The Underside .com

Start Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon on the third lions Roar and it syncs up pretty great with the movie, there’s a YouTube version available already synced for fun. Happy coincidence

Alan Kobb

Just for fun, remember in The Avengers, Nick Fury said "I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his personal flying monkeys" and Captain America proudly boasted "I got that reference!" Congratulations guys! You now have one thing in common with Captain America!!!

E. D.

Wtf Garland was only 47 when she died

Darin Foat

The accent you guys were discussing is called Mid-Atlantic. It was an artificially constructed accent that became popular among certain upper class people in the US in the late 19th century. It deliberately borrowed certain elements of the British RP accent, but retained other American elements. It became a popular accent for actors in both theater and film in the early 20th century. It made a character sound slightly posh, without tying them down to a particular place of origin. A lot of famous actors from this era, like Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant affected Mid-Atlantic accents. As film acting became more naturalistic in the 1950's and 60's it started to fall out of favor.

molly

my mum and i used to watch this all the time when she was alive so i will always love this movie!! it's so amazingly well done and honestly just a wonderful film

Travis H

I have two stories for this movie. The first and more fun story is that one of the last living Munchkin actors visited my elementary school when I was little and told stories about the making of the movie (including the Jello story George mentioned). So that really cool. And when I was little I had to take care of my brother and for about a week all he wanted to do was watch the VHS of Wizard of Oz on repeat. So I have seen this movie more times than I can count. And to make it worse I went to school after nonstop Wizard of Oz and the teacher decided to put on a movie and of course it was Wizard of Oz. Since then this movie has been ruined for me and I kinda can’t stand watching it anymore, while also knowing every line of dialogue from it.

Jason Dreibeblis

It truly is awful what they did to Judy Garland. You guys should watch the movie: Judy, where Renee Zellweger plays Judy Garland. It’s heartbreaking, but such a good performance on her part.

David Nesbit

Just for your own entertainment, you should pull up on YouTube Mr Roger’s Neighborhood where he had Margaret Hamilton on as a guest. Also you should watch Return to Oz

Simon Pegged Me

When I was a kid—when the heavens were new and the earth was without form, VHS tapes, DVDs, and streaming services—The Wizard of Oz was one of a handful of movies that the public networks broadcast once a year for everyone to enjoy. It was a major cultural event. Oddly enough, one year was exactly the length of time it took little boys with excessively strong ties to their mothers to recover from seeing the comforting and loving maternal figure of Auntie Em morph into the cackling Wicked Witch who wishes the child under her care were dead. It took the Wonderful Wizard of Therapy a long time to heal that trauma. Speaking of, react to Psycho (1960).

Peter Dillard

As a child in the US this was on TV (pre-cable) once a year. The flying monkeys terrified me.

Jonathan Wyman

You were talking and missed the best joke in the film. When they are riding in the carriage in the Emerald City, the driver explains to them that "that's a horse of a different color" (which was a very common expression meaning, that's something else entirely). I doubt if the expression is as common today.

Jordan Barnes

George’s face of complete confusion during every single intro is one of the many reasons y’all are my fav channel. I’ve said it before but I wish someone (not me, no editing skills) would make a compilation of all of your intros where Simone confuses George.

Darin Foat
>>132546016

An article on the Mid-Atlantic accent from The Atlantic magazine. I hope it was right in the middle of the issue.

James Falato

This was one of the Films that was shown Annually for the Whole Family to Enjoy... At least in the New York City/Northern New Jersey TV Viewers...

Dwight Scarn

Tarantino, or Nolan needs to do a remake

Colin Reid

You should watch the sequel. Although it is disturbing.

JoeNotCharles
>>132581167

"The sequel" most people are talking about is Return to Oz. Sam Raimi's "Oz the Great and Powerful" was a prequel, not based on the books (just like Wicked!) and so forgettable I forgot about it until just now.

Loac Iscarior

George run, Simone has been replaced by an A.I.!

Rhett Samios

Alright I haven’t seen it in the comments, but it’s funny George brought up asbestos in the sets. When they’re in the flower field with the snow? The snow is asbestos.

Ashley Minor

Here to say that it's explicitly not a dream in the original book, and also that the books are so so so much weirder

Iron Van

I like the Wizard Of Oz, I like the Tin man

Iron Van
>>133251105

That's one that I use at least once a week not that quote but like that cadence I'll say something like in that cadence. "I like Breaking Bad, I like the bitch guy"

Redrum Ritual

When are you going to react to Return to Oz?
