4.17 The Phantom Tollbooth

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.
