Film Club: Issue 4

Happy NY25…! 
It’s been a minute since we sent one of these out. But FILM CLUB is BACK!

Things we loved:

Wow. What a movie…  and what a success. We have LOVED Wizard of Oz since we were kids… and this film, and it’s a stage reimagining and is absolutely fabulous. So many winks, threads, hints and nods to the 1939 classic… YES 19 THIRTY NINE – really. And a global box office of $643m at the 31st December. It’s a two parter… it’s a commercial giant of a franchise. And our chairman has seen it three times. He’s a softy.
