Oz the Great and Powerful

The Film Board gathers to take on Disney’s latest trip to the Emerald Kingdom. This week on the show, Steve Sarmento and Tom Metz join Andy and Pete to pull apart Oz The Great and Powerful, and pull it apart they do. Clumsy scripting? Trouble with the protagonist? Witches that can shoot lightening from their fingers throwing away everything because of a crush on a boy? All that, and we’re still swept away by the magic of the final act. Listen in for why we think this is a great what-coulda-been film that ends up near the very bottom of our list.

    About the show

    The Film Board gathers a rotating panel of film lovers from across The Next Reel Family to dig into a movie that just hit theaters. No tiptoeing around the ending, no "we won't spoil anything." Full spoilers, strong opinions, and the kind of argument you wish you could have with the friends you saw the movie with.
