Possession Has Its Privileges

Posted on September 15, 2024 by Nathan

The Wonderful Land of Oz – This weird low-budget 1969 adaptation of The Marvelous Land of Oz is something I’d never seen, but Beth found online that there’s a Rifftrax version of it, so we watched it. I guess that … Continue reading →

I’ve done some more Oz reading recently, and for once it isn’t stuff I’ve already read. First (and second) of all, I ordered the two most recent Oziana issues, 2022 and 2023, from Lulu. The 2022 is all stories by … Continue reading →
