Our ongoing series of Wizard of Oz adaptation reviews reaches Journey Back to Oz, an animated movie that Filmation started producing in 1962. However, they ran out of money, and the movie sat around unfinished for a full decade, until Filmation had some cash rolling in from their cheapo Saturday morning cartoons. Was Journey Back to Oz worth the wait? Yeah, sort of. It boasts an all-star cast led by Liza Minnelli as Dorothy, the role her mom played in the classic 1939 movie. Also in the cast: Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch back in 1939, now playing Aunt Em), Ethel Merman, Danny Thomas, Mickey Rooney, Larry Storch, Mel Blanc, Milton Berle... and Paul Lynde. (Yikes, with Paul on board, they could have skipped the movie and just played a round of Hollywood Squares.) And yes, Journey Back to Oz also features a talking signpost, a wooden horse, Jack Pumpkinhead, evil trees, gay trees, and plenty of chickens. Watch it just once, and inside your brain, the angry green elephants will never stop screaming.

Chris flies solo today, without Mitzi on this Monday, but still manages to keep it (mostly) on the sunny side! Today, on National Tartan Day, and the year’s 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, we explore the fascinating history and linkage between our Declaration, and the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath, along with a special bonus surprise anniversary connection of the “Triumphal Entry” of Jesus Christ on Apr 6, 32 AD (10th of Nisan) spoken of in all four Gospels! If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. – John 8:36 KJV Triumphal Entry – in all four Gospels! Mat 21:1–11 Mar 11:1–10 Luk 19:28–40 Jhn 12:12–19 From the National Tartan Day Time and Date page: The Scottish Declaration of Independence was signed on April 6, 1320. The American Declaration of Independence was, in fact, modeled on this particular document. Almost half of the signers of the American Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent. The US Senate Resolution on National Tartan Day was passed on March 20, 1998. From that point onward, National Tartan Day was designated as a day for all Americans, particularly those of Scottish descent, on April 6 each year. From the summary of John King Bellassai’s Two Declarations with a Common Purpose: The Link between 1320 and 1776: Tartan Day in the United States is April 6th, which is also the anniversary of the signing of the 1320 Declaration of Arbroath. The significance of this date is the striking similarities in phrasing and intent between the Declaration of Arbroath and the Declaration of Independence. A key to understanding this link is the fact that the American Revolution came right on the heels of the Scottish Enlightenment. While Scottish immigrants were a small part of the general colonial population, their influence on the worldview held by the educated segment of the colonial population, most notably Thomas Jefferson was very influential. Several other key events including the fact that Jefferson's mother's family were of Scottish decent of one of the signers of the Declaration of Arbroath and his Scottish William & Mary professor William Small, whom Jefferson described as his mentor, most notably also played a role in the creation of the Declaration of Independence.

To suppose them to have surrendered these in any other way than by equal rules and general consent was to suppose them idiots or madmen, whose acts were never binding. To suppose them surprised by fraud, or compelled by force, into any other compact, such fraud and such force could confer no obligation. Every man had a right to trample it under foot whenever he pleased. In short, he asserted these rights to be derived only from nature and the author of nature; that they were inherent, inalienable, and indefeasible by any laws, pacts, contracts, covenants, or stipulations, which man could devise. [x] John Adams, A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law – Teaching American History In a word, let every sluice of knowledge be opened and set a-flowing. The encroachments upon liberty in the reigns of the first James and the first Charles, by turning the general attention of learned men to government, are said to have produced the greatest number of consummate statesmen which has ever been seen in any age or nation. The Brookes, Hampdens, Vanes, Seldens, Miltons, Nedhams, Harringtons, Nevilles, Sidneys, Lockes, are all said to have owed their eminence in political knowledge to the tyrannies of those reigns. The prospect now before us in America, ought in the same manner to engage the attention of every man of learning, to matters of power and of right, that we may be neither led nor driven blindfolded to irretrievable destruction. Nothing less than this seems to have been meditated for us, by somebody or other in Great Britain. There seems to be a direct and formal design on foot, to enslave all America. This, however, must be done by degrees. The first step that is intended, seems to be an entire subversion of the whole system of our fathers, by the introduction of the canon and feudal law into America. The canon and feudal systems, though greatly mutilated in England, are not yet destroyed. Like the temples and palaces in which the great contrivers of them once worshipped and inhabited, they exist in ruins; and much of the domineering spirit of them still remains. The designs and labors of a certain society, to introduce the former of them into America, have been well exposed to the public by a writer of great abilities; and the further attempts to the same purpose, that may be made by that society, or by the ministry or parliament, I leave to the conjectures of the thoughtful. But it seems very manifest from the Stamp Act itself, that a design is formed to strip us in a great measure of the means of knowledge, by loading the press, the colleges, and even an almanac and a newspaper, with restraints and duties; and to introduce the inequalities and dependencies of the feudal system, by taking from the poorer sort of people all their little subsistence, and conferring it on a set of stamp officers, distributors, and their deputies. But I must proceed no further at present. The sequel, whenever I shall find health and leisure to pursue it, will be a “disquisition of the policy of the stamp act.” In the mean time, however, let me add, — These are not the vapors of a melancholy mind, nor the effusions of envy, disappointed ambition, nor of a spirit of opposition to government, but the emanations of a heart that burns for its country's welfare. No one of any feeling, born and educated in this once happy country, can consider the numerous distresses, the gross indignities, the barbarous ignorance, the haughty usurpations, that we have reason to fear are meditating for ourselves, our children, our neighbors, in short, for all our countrymen and all their posterity, without the utmost agonies of heart and many tears.

The day is increasingly renamed Declaration Day, since 2016, and associated with events commemorating the Declaration of Arbroath and other aspects of Scottish history. Tartan Day has expanded into an entire Tartan Week in New York City and Angus, and into multi-day events in some other locations, including Washington, DC. The name Scotland Week has also been promoted in Scotland. The events typically have parades of pipe bands, Highland dancing, and other Scottish-themed activities. In 1998, the efforts of the coalition and the Caledonian Foundation (led then by JoAnne Phipps), with the legislative sponsorship of Senator Trent Lott, resulted in United States Senate Resolution No. 155 (introduced March 6, 1998) to adopt April 6 as National Tartan Day. The resolution passed March 20, 1998, “to recognize the outstanding achievements and contributions made by Scottish Americans to the United States”; it also referred to the predominance of Scots among the Founding Fathers of the United States and claimed that the American Declaration of Independence was “modelled on” the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath. The now quasi-official National Tartan Day was held annually thereafter; The Washington Times reported in 2000 on the event, by which time it was already growing into a three-day affair in Washington, DC.

(00:00-26:45) You don't hear the term 'randy' enough these days. Yadi's a special assistant to Chaim Bloom and they wanted to put New Cat at the top of the show on the 2Fox. Will he show up this time? Some aren't happy with the TMA app not working. There's a network everywhere. The Sinbad interview is up for sponsorship. Jackson's Ladue Rams beat Chaminade back in the day. QFTA brought to TMA. Texas Rules. Chairman can smell ChatGPT a mile away. Johnny Sins wears many hats.(26:53-1:02:11) The legend Sam Cooke. People still riled up over the TMA app. QFTA questions coming in. Blues trades. Why do Doug and Martin look like they're going on safari. Does SLU need to make the Sweet 16 for the season to be a success? Sled or toboggan? The Cat mediating between Martin and Ms. Schuster at the NCAA Tournament. Ava Gardner and Mickey Rooney. Snowpocolypse incoming. Kent Flake. Sharp money moving in on higher snow totals to the north.(1:02:21-1:29:46) More QFTTA on TMA. Martin's thoughts on coming back to TMA. Jackson was not a member of The Antlers. Caller Ellen calls in to hold Doug accountable for his hypocritical weather takes. Did Martin put an end to Dear Deidre?

Thank you for joining for Episode 2 of Season 13 of Next on the Tee. I've got a great lineup featuring one of my all-time favorite guests, plus three guys making their Next on the Tee debuts. We kick things off with Tom Purtzer, a player known for one of the purest swings in golf history. Tom shares stories from his career on the PGA and Champions Tours, including his first Tour win at the Glen Campbell LA Open, the celebrity-hosted events of golf's golden era, and on-course lessons Mickey Rooney thought he'd give Tom. We also talk about his win at Colonial, what it meant to sit next to Mr. Hogan at the Champions Dinner, and his thoughts on proposed PGA Tour changes. Next up is Jim Woods, Director of Golf at the historic Omni Bedford Springs. Jim shares his journey from college golf at SUNY Broome Community College through being one of the first to attend the PGA of America's Golf Training Program. He also talks about the great new Performance Center he's put together in Bedford Springs, and a simple but powerful tip that can significantly improve your game. Come back for Part 2, when I'm joined by caddie Bobby “Loops” Palmeri. Loops shares great stories from being on the bag at Bethpage State Park, particularly the Black Course. We talk about the famous sign, his experiences looping for Brian Harman, Cal Clutterbuck, and a very special, touching experience caddying for the late Tim Wakefield. We round things out with a visit from NFL Legend Bryce Paup. Bryce had a challenging upbringing due to dyslexia, which he didn't receive a diagnosis for until he was in his 30s. Growing up he was called "stupid" and the psychological effects from that are hurtful to this day. You'll hear how he hit rock bottom and thanks to his girlfriend, now wife, he's overcoming it. We also talk about his playing career in Green Bay and Buffalo plus his advice for kids going through the same things that he did. It's a powerful segment that you won't want to miss. Thanks so much for being here and pressing play—I'm grateful for each and every one of you.
“HABITS, COLLARS & CLOSEUPS IN CLASSIC CINEMA” - 1/12/2026 (122) Classic cinema has always had a fascination with clergy and nuns — not just as religious figures, but as real people caught between faith and the challenges of the world. When these characters take center stage, the stories often become less about doctrine and more about conscience, compassion, and moral choices. Sometimes with a good dose of humor thrown in. In today's episode, we're going to dive into classic films that put nuns and clergy at the heart of the story. The characters portrayed are thoughtful, conflicted, sometimes heroic, and always deeply human, with stories that explore grace, hope, and the consequences of our choices. This week, we take a look back at some unforgettable films where the collar or the veil isn't just a costume—it's the core of the story.

We round out this year's trilogy of Christmas episodes by exploring the made-for-TV Christmas classics that have awed generations. We're talking about the Rankin / Bass stop-motion films. We go all the way back to 1964 for Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the longest-running Christmas special of all time. The company garnered another hit with the Santa origin story. Mickey Rooney and Fred Astaire lend their voices to Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town. Finally, Rooney returns in the hilarious and vibrant film, The Year Without A Santa Claus.Have you seen these animated classics?

Rankin/Bass Assemble! The conclusion of at least three trilogies at the same time (Rudolph, Frosty, Mickey Rooney's Santa Claus, and possibly Jack Frost), Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July (1979) is in many ways the Endgame of the Rankin/Bass multiverse.In it, we see the Cosmic Forces at play in Rudolph's origin story and how this lynchpin of the multiverse must go to war to reclaim his hero status (and save a cowgirl's circus)! We also see Old Man Frosty willing to give up his humanity to save his friend.
“It's always a weird drifter with a dubious backstory” - Eric on mall Santas On this week's episode, we finally welcome film critic/author/podcaster/great dude, Alonso Duralde on the show to chat about the totally outrageous Christmas horror schlocker, Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker! How hilarious is this face-hugger Santa toy in the cold open? Was that really the best name Mickey Rooney's character could've gone with for his toy store? How hilarious is it that this robot actually has a bump? Is this lady too casual about her husband dying in a horrific household freak accident? And was that Clint Howard we spied back there? PLUS: What do you call a bunch of fans of the classic literary character, Geppetto? We break it down. Silent Night, Deadly Night 5: The Toy Maker stars William Thorne, Jane Higginson, Van Quattro, Tracy Fraim, Neith Hunter, Conan Yuzna, Brian Bremer, Clint Howard, and Mickey Rooney as Joe Petto; directed by Martin Kitrosser.

EPISODE 116 - “CLASSIC STAR OF THE MONTH: DICK VAN DYKE” - 12/01/25 Join us as we celebrate the life and career of someone who seemingly personifies joy — on-screen and off. And maybe that's the secret to his longevity, because he is about to celebrate his 100th birthday on December 13. Of course, we're talking about the one and only, DICK VAN DYKE, our December Star of the Month. His career spans The Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and beyond. He's danced across rooftops, flipped over ottomans, and shared his personal struggles with alcoholism in order to shine a light on a horrible disease -- at a time when that sort of thing wasn't discussed. From his early years trying to make it in show business, to that breakout moment on Broadway, to becoming one of the most beloved stars on television and film - today, we celebrate the legendary Dick Van Dyke!

EPISODE 107 - “SUSAN PETERS: A CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY” - 9/29/25 SUSAN PETERS was a rising star in Hollywood's Golden Age, a gifted actress whose poise, talent, and beauty quickly earned her critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination. With a promising career ahead of her, she seemed destined for lasting stardom—until a devastating accident abruptly changed everything, marking the beginning of a long, painful decline.

We're joined by actress/singer/dancer Ann Jillian who takes us on an extraordinary journey which begins as her parents escape Soviet-Occupied Lithuania and continues into the Hollywood soundstages that launch Ann's career as a child star in Gypsy and Babes in Toyland and then winds towards her adult career as a beloved Hollywood icon.Ann shares the powerful story of her family's flight across war-torn Europe on bicycles, aided by her mother's multilingual savvy, which helped them dodge bullets and bombs and navigate a perilous path to safety. Settling in America was more than a fresh start, it was a dream realized. Ann recalls the deep pride her parents felt the day they became U.S. citizens and she reflects on her show biz beginnings, first in commercials (she was a Chevrolet girl!), then, playing Bo Peep in Babes in Toyland, leading to the stage name bestowed upon her by Mr. Walt Disney! and landing the role of Dainty June in Gypsy, where she gained an even deeper appreciation of her own mother who was NOT a Mama Rose. Ann tells us how education was valued for Disney child stars, she shares her mother's wisdom on dealing with jealousies and she tells us about the treasured momento she received from her dear friend in Natalie Wood.She also discusses her battle with breast cancer, her triumphant return to work, the joy in becoming a mother and the fabulously funny and romantic 'how we met story' featuring herself and her husband of 50 years, Andy.And IMDB Roulette this week takes us on a journey around Mayfield, into the Twilight Zone and through a time when TV movies tackled important social issues.In recommendations --Fritz: Britbox Mini Series, OutrageousWeezy: Netflix Series, Son of a CritchPath Points of Interest:Ann Jillian on WikipediaAnn Jillian on IMDBAnn Jillian on Amazon OutrageousSon of a CritchMedia Path PodcastMedia Path on FacebookMedia Path on InstagramMedia Path on XMedia Path on Bluesky

EPISODE 95 - “VIRGINIA GREY: Classic Cinema Star of the Month” - 7/07/25 If VIRGINIA GREY is remembered at all, the blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty is probably best remembered as the caustic perfume counter girl in The Women (1939), who sees right through the gold-digging ways of Crystal Allen, played by JOAN CRAWFORD. In these brief scenes, she is so charismatic and saucy, she really shows how to deliver a zinger of a line. She may also be remembered as the good luck charm of producer ROSS HUNTER, who put her in many of his popular movies of the mid-1950s and 1960s. But there was so much more to this talented actress. This week, we explore her life and career as we honor her as our Star of the Month.
