Tyler Varney guests in this special Christmas episode of OzRecap! A couple of years before L. Frank Baum wrote the first sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, he created his very own origin story for the legendary Santa Claus. Published in 1902, it is a fairy tale that seems very rooted in paganism, and it has been adapted for the screen multiple times. We discuss Baum's version of the story and its 1985 Rankin/Bass adaptation, but stay tuned until the end for an upcoming bonus series, exclusively for OzRecap Patrons!
