Wizard of Oz watch alongmovie commentaryHollywood triviaflying monkeysovernight radiocast banterbroadcast safe harborwizard of ozwatch alongradiocomedydorothy

Mikey gathers Skye, Sean, Eddie, Boston Rob, Ashley, Fish and the rest of the overnight crew for a synchronized, joke-heavy viewing of The Wizard of Oz. The broadcast keeps drifting away from the plot into movie trivia, the hanging-man rumor, Halloween casting and Skye's insistence that the flying monkeys are the film's scariest part. As the night wears on, Sean struggles to stay awake, Ashley is criticized for talking off microphone, and the group increasingly argues about whether the movie and its songs are unbearably long. They make it through the Wizard's exposure as a fraud and Dorothy's return home, finishing with relief and a vow not to repeat the experiment.

What happened, in order

  1. Watch-Along Setup

    Mikey explains how listeners can synchronize their Wizard of Oz DVDs while the cast delays the start for bathroom trips and Sean's absence.

  2. Possessed DVD

    The DVD repeatedly jumps to the wrong scene, Fish starts directing the room, and Sean finally returns in pajamas looking exhausted.

  3. Twister Survival Advice

    During the tornado scene, the group jokingly argues that Twister proved holding onto a pole is safer than going underground and adds a dubious Judy Garland story.

  4. The Hanging-Man Myth

    The hosts spot movement behind Dorothy and the Scarecrow, invoke the famous background-suicide rumor, and then decide it is an emu.

  5. Tin Man Trivia

    As Dorothy discovers the Tin Man, the cast recalls that Buddy Ebsen lost the role after reacting badly to the metallic makeup before turning the oil-can scene into jokes.

  6. Cowardly Lion Arrives

    Dorothy exposes the Lion as a coward, while the room checks whether sleep-deprived Sean is still awake and jokes about the character's nerves.

  7. Halloween Casting

    Ashley, Eddie, and the others debate which Oz characters they should play for Halloween until the first monkey abruptly sends the conversation elsewhere.

  8. Flying Monkeys

    Skye's dreaded flying monkeys finally appear, prompting arguments over whether they are real animals, why they seem to wear toupees, and whether this is the movie's scariest scene.

  9. Safe-Harbor Meltdown

    Eddie makes a harsh joke during the Lion's song, the cast invokes broadcast safe harbor and the FCC, and the room's fatigue turns into open irritation.

  10. The Wizard's Bargain

    The Wizard refuses the travelers' requests until they bring back the Wicked Witch's broom, while Rob watches the clock and everyone complains that the movie still is not over.

  11. Humbug Revealed

    Toto exposes the fortune-teller behind the curtain, forcing the supposed Wizard to admit he is a humbug before trying to fulfill the group's requests with symbolic awards.

  12. Please Let It End

    As Dorothy clicks her heels, the hosts replace her famous line with a repeated plea for the movie to end and then riff on her return to Kansas.
