OMFYS S5E2 Childhood Trauma w/ The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T (1953) & The Boy with Green Hair (47)

Childhood trauma is everywhere in movies these days. You can find inner child work in Wicked and at least half the Pixar catalog. But we've always had it, only in the 1940s and 50s, it was all Freudian and weird. In our quest for trippy dream sequences, we pair weed with a pair of movies that probably traumatized kids as much as they entertained them. First, we have the only feature film written by Theodor Seuss Geisel AKA Dr. Seuss, THE 5,0000 FINGERS OF DR. T (1953) starring the amazing Hans Conried as a megalomaniacal piano teacher. It definitely delivers on Seuss-y dreaminess. And then, young Dean Stockwell is a war orphan who wakes up with green hair, and everyone in his town freaks the f-- out about it in, you guessed it, THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR from RKO in 1947. Plus, Bob tries out the new DaVinci EQ Vaporizer and--spoiler--it's so good it made him like TRON ARES. Plus, are Zoomers buying DVDs? Philena has answers! We've also got the TikTok Report and what up Appleton, Wisconsin? #RaiseYourEQ to new frequencies. NEXT EPISODE: AP Mike returns for some EARLY HERZOG!
