Episode 300: If We Only Had A Brain

David and Tamler celebrate their 300th episode with a deep dive into the movie that inspired the podcast's title. Why is "The Wizard of Oz" the most influential American movie of all time? How does it dig deep into our collective psyches? What makes the effects so timeless and effective? And what's the actual moral of the story? Plus we crawl up our own asses and talk about what we're proud of from last year, excited for in 2025, and the ways the podcast has changed since episode 1.
