(A Ben and Fiona episode - prepare for an Irish potty mouth and bullshit trivia)

 Are you a Tight Arse?

We're off to ruin the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

Here's what to expect from our stumble down the yellow brick road:

• Is a diet of chicken soup, black coffee and cigarettes sustainable? (I do offer diet plans and nutritional advice in the day job, holla me.)
• Have you ever found yourself stuck in a toilet bowl?  
• Is Glinda the real wicked witch of the piece? 
• How would you handle a bunch of rowdy munchkins? 
• Was the 1930s a golden era for Hollywood? 
• Was the studio intentionally trying to kill its cast? 
• Was it all a dream? 
• How does this hold up through the eyes of a grumpy adult? 
• Is being a child star the right career choice for you? 
• Did a munchkin hang themselves on set? 
• Is The Wizard of Oz a horror film?
