  • Great premise

    I happened upon your podcast accidentally but I’m so glad I did! You have put a lot of research into these. I have started with the wizard of Oz and I am looking forward to all of your episodes. I am always interested to see what can be done when an author is translated into film.. I like the fact that you provide several adaptations of an authors work. Since we all know, not all adaptations work out! And it is interesting to see several points of view. Keep up the good work, hoping for future s... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cinderfella - 1960 Jerry Lewis Film - With Lisa Fay
Q: Have you seen or heard of Cinderfella?
We discuss how obscure it is, with one host noting it's not widely remembered and the other acknowledging they both watched it in youth but don't hold onto it as a favorite, using the conversation to gauge whether someone has seen it.
Walt Disney's Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs - 1937 - With Phantomwise & Once Upon a VHS
Q: How did Snow White change the animation industry at the time it was released?
The film demonstrated that a feature-length animated work could carry a sophisticated narrative, push technical boundaries, and compete with live-action cinema, effectively creating a new art form and setting a benchmark for future animation.
Adventures in Wonderland - Part 2 - 1992 Disney Channel Series - With Phantomwise
Q: What was the significance of the character introductions in 'Adventures in Wonderland'?
The introductions helped establish the show's whimsical nature without delving into complex backgrounds, though it left audiences wanting more origin stories.
