Charley kicks off the Christmas season with a telling of the classic folktale The Gingerbread Man. Consider this a teaser for an episode about the much-maligned Robert Altman legal thriller that we'll hopefully cover in 2030. We also discuss L. Frank Baum's JOHN DOUGH AND THE CHERUB and the different--now lost-- film iterations of the tale. John Dough may be cinema's first Gingerbread Man, tying it all back into our comprehensive Oz coverage here at The Blob Show. What I wouldn't give to have seen FAIRYLOGUE AND RADIO-PLAYS (1908).
