It's a "Wizard of Oz" Saturday

Don't have a Netflix account but want to try out their streaming feature? Here's your chance. For one day only (until Sunday at 9 AM), in partnership with Warner Bros, Netflix is offering a free stream of The Wizard of Oz on their site.

This is all part of the 70th anniversary celebration (which was technically in August) that included the release of the 4-disc Ultimate Collector's Blu-ray set and a screening/concert party in Central Park, New York last Tuesday sponsored by Netflix.

The concert featured performances of the beloved songs from The Wizard of Oz by the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Bilal, Julianne Hough; with none other than The Roots' ?uestlove on drums.

Our man Lex went to the event. I asked him how it went and this is what he said:

Lex: I realized that I represented the minority group out of the three present. 47% Women Ages 18-50, 47% Gay Men Ages 26-55, 6% Men dragged by a Woman Age 19-26.
Me: I would be in an even lower minority.
Lex: Being what?
Me: Men Who Went Willingly 18-30.
Lex: There were none of those. Every straight man there was trying to get into the pants of the first group.
Me: It's as good a place as any.

Thanks for the detailed report, Lex.

Videos from the concert are below, and you can watch Wizard of Oz for free at this page.
