4.17 The Phantom Tollbooth
from Married to the Idea Hosted by Married to the Idea
Have you been bored with nothing to do? Then The Phantom Tollbooth is for you! We discuss this amazing work of children's literature that everyone loves but no one knows about, as well as its animated Chuck Jones adaptation. We talk about how the author blew off work to write a story about a boy who asked too many questions, why so many kid movies have unnecessary musical numbers, and what improvements could be made in adaption to bring it to the witty, wise, wordplay-filled heights of the source material. Shout out to our Sponsordome contenders - Audible (try your 30-day free membership at audibletrial.com/marriedtotheidea) and Cult of Dracula, a comic by Richard Davis.
