Wow, I was unaware that the theatrical cut of The Witches of Oz was never released to DVD, so I didn't fully realize how fortunate it was that I was able to see it in the theater. I still remember the details of the evening pretty well, despite it being over a decade ago. To be brutally honest, while I had a good time attending the screening, I remember thinking that the movie was one of the most sub-par things I've paid money to see. I also sort of thought it was unfair of the theater to play all the usual trailers for upcoming blockbusters (i.e. The Amazing Spider-Man, The Hobbit, etc.) beforehand, because of course the movie the audience was there to watch couldn't help looking somewhat lackluster by comparison. Naturally, I didn't express that opinion to the members of the cast I got to meet afterward (Eliza, Noel and Barry), who were all super friendly and signed a poster for me, which I still have. Despite not having formed the highest opinion of the film, listening to this podcast makes me wish I could see it again. I'm also sorry that the sequel Angelo described was never made, because it sounds interesting.
