Finishing out the 1930s with two of the most popular movies ever made! One is a romanticized fantasy about a place that never existed, the other is The Wizard of Oz!

We're joined by video essayist/writer/former US history teacher Nats Can Fly! Be sure to check out her YouTube channel here [https://www.youtube.com/@natscanfly]. 

Also, we talk about a quintessential John Ford western, Frank Capra's most Capra-esque film to date, and a really sad Kenji Mizuguchi Kabuki drama!
