This should be fun.

This movie, the storytelling, effects and music are the same as when my watch is dead and I’m asked what the hour is… they’re both timeless. I’ll show myself out but will say this is a marvel of early cinema as everyone knows

Den Radar Ryan

Fun fact: the snow in this movie was made of 100% asbestos. 👀🌨️

dieselbeast

Oh Judy how much you suffered, god rest your soul 🙏 but thank you for giving us one of the most Iconic/Legendary films of all time 🙏

Now that you've watched it you might want to check out the version synced with The Dark Side of the Moon. Yes this is a thing if you haven't heard of it. Still listening to your intro and I wouldn't be surprised if George mentions this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=627aciBA2E8

Victor Fleming - the man that history forgot. He directed "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone with the Wind" the same year.

Hey homies. Just a quick clarification. Those 8 films aren’t all based on one book. There are fourteen books in the Oz universe written by the original author and that’s if you don’t include collections of short stories. There is a sequel to this film that is made by Disney called Return to Oz and i HIGHLY recommend it. It’s a very dark and weird film. I also highly recommend The Wiz which is an all black cast version of The Wizard of Oz which Diana Ross as Dorothy and Michael Jackson as Scarecrow. It captures a feel and aesthetic of 70s New York that is so specific and weird. I should also mention The Wiz is directed by Sidney Lumet who directed Twelve Angry Men…

I haven’t watched this movie since I was a kid, the flying monkeys terrified me back then lol

Tay Schumaker

Yes the wicked witch of the west is Elphaba from Wicked. From Defying Gravity “and if you care to find me, look to the western sky.” Wicked the novel is just a dramatic retelling of the original story

Wow, two classic in a years time. That’s crazy, he created two movies that will live forever and created so many memories for so many families.

Prof. Writhms

I’ve never seen this movie from beginning to end. I’ve always seen it in parts, the many times I’ve caught it on TV. I don’t even remember seeing the very beginning. This will be a first time. 👍

djKENTO

one more insane fact… the lion is wearing an actual lion skin. In fact they made 2 and they still exist.

I haven't read the "Wicked" novel, just watched the musical (the soundtrack of which, by the way, is absolutely glorious!), but the story is really a nice twist and reverse-point-of-view of this movie. Also, just for fun consideration: the upcoming "Wicked" movie starring Ariana Grande will technically be a filmatisation of a broadway musical of a non-canon sequel novel to the 1939 movie filmatisation of the original novel. The mind boggles how we got to this point sometimes, but "Wicked" is really great, so I can't complain.

Shonnicus

This film might have the most nostalgia for me of any. As far as I can remember, watching this at least once a year. I will lock my kids in a room and make them watch this movie (I'm half joking). Watching the full movie for a long time still has much emotional attachment.

Wilss

'Return to Oz' is a must watch.

Grand Moff Slackin'

George has always been, and will continue to be, my favorite vocal fry guy.

Guillermo Antonio Ricci Alvarez

The asbestos(some of the cast got cancer later in life), the wicked witch dissappearing with an explosion which burned her, the original tin man actor who almost died due to allergy to the paint...so many things that went wrong with this production

G P

Check out the HBO series Oz, its awesome

Lyonheart86(BryonH)

you should check out the Tin Man mini series with zooey deschanel and Neal McDonough. It was made as a sequel. Its absolutely wonderful. DO NOT WATCH RETURN TO OZ IF YOU DONT WANNA BE CREEPED OUT. Also side note .. there are shirts made that say There's no place like 127.0.0.1 lol

Patrick

I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid. My little sister use to be scared of the flying monkeys haha

MoonageDaydream

I’m glad you addressed the munchkin SA in the trivia at the end because whenever I see that scene all I can think about is what some of them did to poor Judy 😔 she had such a tragic life. This is still a great movie though and holds up very well IMO. They did a damn good job with the resources they had available at the time.

Jesse Coombs

I love these old musicals. Another colorful one with amazing sets is of course the original "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It would make a great double feature with Wizard of Oz. Also if you want to go down the Judy Garland route, "Meet Me in St. Louis" is a wonderful holiday musical. It's also very funny and touching. (It takes place throughout the entire year, so you don't have to wait until Christmas though!)

gobmob2000

Simone and George are secretly Alien Lizard people confirmed. THEY ARE NOT HUMAN!

Blkm44

It would be cool if you reacted to the movie “The Wiz” in comparison, now that you have seen this.

Kinokind

So much wonderful about this movie, still! The effects and makeup are flawless and would be hard to match today (CGI just wouldn't cut it. The tornado was terrifying!) And so dangerous. They used asbestos for the snow because it was non-flammable and considered "safe". Real flames and trap doors for the witch's exits. Metallic makeup for the witch and tin man. Yikes. But 3-strip Technicolor! The color process involved the equivalent of three cameras shooting through the same lens - one for each primary color. The lighting had to be incredibly bright, using incandescent and carbon arc lights, which made it incredibly hot on the stage. Then put the actors in heavy makeup and costumes. It's a miracle no one died. And Technicolor was incredibly expensive because it ate up three times as much film as black and white (the three strips of film were later printed together to achieve one full-color print). Later, they figured out how to do Technicolor with just one strip of film, and the results were still spectacular. But you can always spot those Technicolor films!

Since they were talking about shows that have done an homage to The Wizard of Oz, maybe we should mention It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia did an homage to The Wiz.

AstralCars

Please react to Singin’ In The Rain (1952). It’s the seminal classic musical that has a lot less abuse in its production and a lot less super high-pitched singing 🙉

Pam Nail

The witch appearing in the crystal ball and laughing as the camera moves closer and closer scared me to PIECES as a kid. It still kind of gets to me, actually.

Odd Thomas

Still holds up 80+ years later! I highly recommend the prequel, Oz the Great and Powerful, directed by Sam 'Evil Dead' Raimi!

George, If you were with me, you wouldn't be here in this strip club shaking it for dollar bills!

🖤Witches as we know them now being all green and cackly is because of this movie I'm pretty sure. I do know this was the first time they've ever depicted a witch being green. She wasn't green in the book but made her green for the movie because it looked great in technicolor. Before that, witches were either described as being orange or red, if they had any weird skin color at all.

Margaret Hamilton who played the Wicked Witch actually got burnt because that trap door didn't open quickly enough.

Spacecat44

Another fun fact about Margaret Hamilton: she was a very nice woman in real life and once appeared in costume as the Wicked Witch on an episode of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood to help young kids understand that scary characters that they see in movies aren't real, and that the actors who portray them aren't actually scary people.

Cincassette
>>132528693

Yes! That was my favourite movie growing up, and what really made me fall in love with cinema! An absolute must watch!

Ricardo Alanis

I hope you do get to see Wicked. I know the movie adaptation is coming but the stage musical is one of my favorites and acts as a prequel with a story that fits within this universe but changes the motivations all around. I think Mrs. Deagle in Gremlins was highly inspired by the wicked witch and also Gremlins 2 has some great references to this.

Odd Thomas

A great witch movie is Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Odd Thomas

Decades later Margaret Hamilton reprised her role as the Wicked Witch on an episode of Sesame Street. Children were so traumatised by this, the network never broadcast it again.

JokerDanny

Bert Lahr who played the lion was wearing an actual lion skin in this

Michael Kemmet

George (as "If I Only Had a Heart" begins): I've heard that before. Me: Yes you did. Two minutes ago when it was called "If I Only Had a Brain". :D ;)

JokerDanny

Return to Oz is a spiritual sequel to this and it's terrifying and made in the same vein as Neverending Story and Labyrinth, Oz The Great And Powerful is a spiritual prequel starring James Franco as the wizard and it's his origin story of how he got to oz and also the origin story of the witch. Both worth a watch.

JokerDanny
>>132522467

I second the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (all 3 movies: Gene Wilder version, Johnny Depp version and Timothee Chalamet prequel).

John

This was fun. I hope Femputer looks a little different having seen this. I would recommend watching The Wiz as a very different version of this story with some of the greatest musicians of their era. Return to Oz is nightmare fuel

rick movienerd

There is a movie from 1981 Under the rainbow its a comedy with Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher loosely based on behind the making of Wizard of Oz. You might enjoy it.

Chase Schleich

Every film pre-Star Wars had credits in front of the film. It was a mandate. George Lucas wanted Star Wars to start with that iconic music and opening word crawl so he didn't do the opening credits which got him in a lot of trouble. Eventually the rules changed and opening credits became more and more rare. That's the very abbreviated version of it at least.

Cobbie D
>>132518558

That actor was Buddy Ebsen. Who was the lead in 'The Beverly Hillbillies'. He had quit because his allergic reaction.

Chase Schleich

The behind the scenes of this film are sad and terrifying. Judy Garland (Dorothy) was only 16, but already addicted to barbiturates. The studio was feeding them to her because they thought she was too fat so they reduced her food and substituted it with different pills so she'd have the energy to keep filming. That addiction would later kill her at only the age of 47. The original Tin Man actor almost died from the aluminum in the body paint and was fired/replaced while in the hospital recovering. The snow in the flower sleeping scene was literally asbestos flakes. The Wicked Witch was caught on fire TWICE! The main actress was badly burned the first time, refused to film the second fire scene so a stunt double did it. She also caught fire and was badly burned. That's just a few of the horror stories from set. There's many more. MGM and the other movie studios were brutal back then.

Chase Schleich
>>132544590

Yep. The costumes look so good for a reason. The scarecrow's face was rubber glued to his skin which caused scars. The original tin man body paint had aluminum in it which almost killed the original actor. The wicked witch's make up soaked into her skin, turning her green for months.

ThePVO

Still better with The Dark Side of the Moon

Lana Gorgeous

I'm in my 60's so I first saw The Wizard of Oz as a 10 year old. It came on network TV every year I think in the Fall or late summer. Our whole family would watch but us kids at the time absolutely loved it. To really enjoy this movie you have to reach back in the inner child. the problem with most people watching it today is you have been spoiled by technology and cynicism everyone seems to have. But if you were 10, 11 or 12 in a world with no computers, social media, or any of that and lots of black and white programming, in the 60's this movie would absolutely blow your mind as you're eating your fall caramel or candid apples and apple cider, hehehe :)

Shelley Lloyd

L. Frank Baum wrote 14 Oz books of which The Wizard of Oz was just the first and they are very very queer. There is a trans princess who falls in love with Dorothy and declares her an official princess of Oz and her "constant companion".

REDR58
>>132556411

There are at least a handful of movies with minimum opening titles/credits before Star Wars with just the production company and director’s name and the movie title. Citizen Kane come to mind 2001 A Space Odyssey and The Godfather from 1972 just has “Mario Puzo’s The Godfather.”

REDR58

Great reaction. I haven’t seen this movie since I was in grade school, around 1985 or 86 I think.

Jacob King
>>132544547

Margaret Hamilton went on Mr Rogers to explain the difference between actors and characters. Great clip worth looking out for.

REDR58

A “dime bank” is just another name for a piggy bank. I suppose it’s called that because you typically just put loose change in a piggy bank and it won’t usually be all that much in terms of value.

Jacob King

This is one of the most referenced works of culture; up there with Citizen Cane and 2001. So many of the movies done on the channel are indebted to The Wizard of Oz. One that George recognised as familiar was the marching song the witch's guards sang which was used by the Coen's for the Klan scene in O Brother. There are also some deliberate shot quotations. The dream sequence idea is a movie invention. In the books and most other movies Oz is a real place. And there is tons of lore; General Jinjer and her girl army, the Nome King, Princess Ozma. Oz runs deep and weird. Return to Oz is the best adaptation of a sequel. And Fairuza Balk is brilliant and much closer to the right age. MGM weren't so much worried about Garland's weight as her size - they cast a 17 year old to play a 10 year old and then blamed her for going through puberty. Wicked is great but would be impossible to "get" without having seen the movie and/or having read the original book. Elphaba is a reference to L Frank Baum's initials and it is crammed with injokes and subversions. There's heaps of canon backstory I had forgotten wasn't in the movie that Maguire used in the Wicked books that motivates the characters in Wicked. Stardust would be my fantasy film pick as a follow-up to Wizard of OZ and Neverending Story.

Jacob King
>>132510600

I'm pretty sure Baum was involved in at least one of the movies as an original work.

REDR58
>>132570905

The "Oh-ee-oh" song sung by the castle guards is also referenced in a Simpsons episode (as is Citizen Kane, many times).

Kinokind

The message is obviously "Go out of town if you want to murder people".

Kinokind

Simone, you have an excellent cat! I could hear purring on mic. Oh, and it's not so much that we're jaded about the scary scenes now. Remember, this was made as a children's film (Shirley Temple was considered for Dorothy) and the witch is pretty scary if you're 7 or 8 years old!

Odd Thomas
>>132574573

Shirley Temple actually made a very similar film, also released in 1939, called The Blue Bird. While it's not as good as Wizard, it's still one of Temple's best.

Logan Kerlee

Great reaction! I first watched this as a youngster and it was a whole lot of fun during my childhood. :)

TheSentry77

Hey George! The reason those guards chanting seemed familiar to you was most likely because it was also referenced by the Simpsons, in the old episode where Mr. Burns is looking for his childhood teddy bear. Guards in front of his manor are singing that same song, and get shushed by Smithers :)

WastedPo

I'm glad you guys kept an open mind and enjoyed this. I remember being VERY young and watching this on broadcast television. And yes, some parts were legitimately scary, like the flying monkeys, and when they first went to meet the great and powerful Oz.

MacGuffinStuff

Now watch it with Dark Side of the Moon playing lol, if I remember correctly you're supposed to start the album on the MGM lion's second roar. Only thing is the album ends well before the movie, but it's still kind of trippy how well they sync sometimes. But you really should check out Return To Oz, with a young Fairuza Balk as Dorothy, I loved that movie when I was a kid, scared the crap out of the me the first time I saw it but in retrospect I think it was a very underrated sequel. I also heard it's more accurate to the source material. EDIT: Oops, it's actually the third lion's roar, I'm trying it right now and it's pretty awesome so far. But then again, Dark Side is my favorite album of all time. Does anyone else still turn the sound down on a movie and listen to music over it like it's an alternate soundtrack? Fargin stoners.

Jared Winn

I was thinking a few weeks ago about what the movie the been seen by the most amount of people. I think it’s got to be this one, right? I wonder if anyone has a better answer. Is there a movie that’s been seen by more people than this?

dieselbeast

yeah simply put those munchkins actors were garbage period, they had no regard for any human decency, they were abhorrent, just gross!

YukoValis

Now do return to Oz. :D

BangDroid

Now you can watch Oz the HBO series lolol Only half joking, it's a WILD show, very dark.

China Andronicus

I've always loved that through the entire film, the Scarecrow is clearly the most intelligent and the Tin Man the most caring and emotional. It makes sense in the end that they don't truly need the gifts they're seeking. The Lion's tail is on a string to hold it up. You can see it in quite a few shots if you look closely.

Angela D. Mitchell

It's still a gorgeous movie (the effects are fantastic -- the tornado knocks me out still today)! What I find so interesting is that the books are about Dorothy discovering this magical world she yearns for, while the movie's message is "don't explore the world, home is all you need." (It would have been a great movie to show poor Truman in "The Truman Show" to encourage him not to want to leave home!) I still love it, and the score is classic, and the performers were all amazing, led by Judy Garland, who won a miniature Oscar for her performance. The Wicked Witch (who was fantastically played by Margaret Hamilton) is indeed the character Gregory Maguire expanded on and named Elphaba in his novel "Wicked" (later adapted into the musical, although I can't forgive it for messing with the book's ending). I hope you both feel better!

Einherj

Return to Oz (1985) is great.

Wayne Kryka

The coat Professor Marvel wears was actually owned by L. Frank Baum ( the author). The wardrobe department had bought it at a thrift store. They later found his name tag in it.
