When I first saw The Wizard of Oz movie as a kid, it scared the living crap out of me. It was not until years later that I fell in love with the cast of characters.
I have wanted to do a series updating the characters in a darker style for years. Think Oz with a Beetlejuice meets Pan’s Labyrinth vibe. Just use your imagination and have fun.
Your challenge this week is to reimagine the Tinman.

We had already scheduled the "Black Panther" episode of the Nerdmudgeon podcast months ago, well before the recent tragic loss of lead actor Chadwick Boseman. His death really punched me in the gut, and I'm not ready to think about who will take what role in what films he might have been in. I just want to take the time to appreciate the wonderful performances he gave us, like this one.
Give it a listen here and thank you, Mr. Boseman, for sharing your wonderful gifts with all of us.

I've been remiss in my Nerdmudgeon updates! Today John, Dave and I discuss one of my least-favorite MCU releases, "Dr. Strange". Why would I not love a magic-based film featuring the lovable Benedict Cummberbatch? You'll just have to tune in to find out!
For your listening pleasure, over the previous two weeks we also released our reviews of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Captain America: Civil War".
Thanks for indulging our Pandemic Project, I hope you give it a chance and please, let us know what you think of the show!
