As someone who literally grew up watching "The Making Ofs" of old movie  like The Wizard of Oz. It cool to see other people my age having intrest in that era of Hollywood.

Even when it’s a horror story like this?


Remember that rumor that you could see a Munchkin actor hanging himself in the background of one shot? It's claimed to be fake but it wouldn't surprise me at all if it were true.


A whole lot of pity shown for celebrities that made a while lot more money than everyone else at the time and they too got poisoned by lead, copper and other crap.


While the video itself is interesting, I've found myself completely infatuated with the man in this comment section whos dying on mgm hill with the boot still stuck in his esophagus. Props to you dude.

you, weird little man.


smashed the like button when that kickass shot of greenscreen city popped up at 1:10


"We can only wonder if science or religion will ever help us achieve eternal life. But at the very least art can get us pretty damn close" -empLemon


I really enjoyed the hanging Munchkin theory, good times.


1st Margaret Hamilton used greenish copper makeup for her Wicked Witch costume. The copper makeup would have Hamilton a a health issue later in her life with her being diagnosed with Alzheimer disease which was caused from her copper poisoning. 2nd Judy Garland’s was harassed by the Munchkins


As an artist who fears not death, but being forgotten, your words and analysis cut deep. Thanks for putting it to words.

No one knows who you are now. Don’t think anybody can forget you if they don’t know you in the first place so you’re good.

@MaskedMan66 wth why? Its just how i see things

@Marta Leja I get the sneaking suspicion that you're trolling.

@MaskedMan66 everyone feels different about it. If it makes you happy :) Just dont neglect your health!

@Marta Leja No, I'd rather be remembered as long as there are people to remember me.

@MaskedMan66 yeah, and as soon as humankind dies, no one will ever remeber the art nor the artist. So why wouldn't you rather care for yourself in the present instead of creating something at the risk of your health that will be forgotten sooner or later anyway?

@Marta Leja You're assuming that the world as we think of it will still be here in "a few million years." And obviously I wasn't talking about "a few million years," I was talking about as long as there are people to remember works of art and those who created them.

I'll clue you into something: all times matter because all people-- past, present, and future-- matter.

@MaskedMan66 he will. Because even if his art exists longer that he does, everything will be gone without a trace in a few million years and no one will ever know we existed. So i the long run, nothing really matters, expect the present time

You will be forgotten eventually. Take care of your health as long as you live


Why people wanna cancel Dave Chappelle but not The Wizard of Oz?


Back then there were no actor unions and actors had basically no rights. Death and injury were common and actors were easily replaceable due to the depression and how desperate everyone was for money.


My sister made me watch this thanks for running my childhood

Do some research and you'll find that a lot of the info in this video is either exaggerated or untrue. Read these books for the true story: "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz with an introduction by Margaret Hamilton, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman with an introduction by Jack Haley, Jr., and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.

Most importantly, remember that Judy Garland loved this movie for the rest of her life.


I’m glad my dude Macaulay Culkin is doing better these days.  He’s even collabed with the legendary Rich Evans of Ellen fame!  Now if that isn’t a comeback, I don’t know what is.  In all seriousness though, it seems like he’s doing so much better.

I’m glad Macaulay Culkin is doing really good. When I saw him on Joe Rogan it’s clear that now he’s just living his life the way he wants to and does want to act but with projects that he’s happy with

@Jupiter AHH yeah I remember that. The JRE one I mentioned I'm not sure if it was legit or I'm suffering some Mandela effect bullshit

@Lord Habitaxe of Prydonia he was also in an avgn episode around december or something

didnt mac go on the JRE too? i cant recall if he did

IIRC he was never nearly as much of a mess as the tabloids made out...

Yeah when I heard he and Brenda Song were having a kid, I just smiled. That man deserves to be happy after all the shit he's been through.

@Jampersand I understood that reference.

It's neat to see Mr. MacCulkin doing well in life with those drunk Wisconsonites.

@crob i know, i was just referencing his role as a hobbo in its always sunny

@zyzdzy yeah, hes turned his life around and is married too


Hell yeah I subtly noticed the song “any color you like” during the pyramids segment, a great little callback to dark side of the moon and the title of this great video


The wizard of oz is brilliant, but hot take: Singin' in the Rain is a better musical.


Well, it couldn't possibly get any worse.

You should do a dissertation on Aqua Teen.  We all know there will never ever be another show like it.

Plus you keep using the aqua tv show show beat.


i can't believe that whole opening thing was an ad for Keeps. THIS is the level of creativity needed to make people sit through ads. Absolute genius!!!! Emperor LEmon!


Are we also going to discuss the representation of British imperialism and industrialization as the reason for this ancient film?


And kids this is why we need to be grateful of new live action movies even if they suck


Any color you like as an ode to the dark side of oz at the end was a nice touch


Great video, but the 8-bit Any Color You Like at the end was the cherry on top


It's amazing that Emp can pretty much always top himself with the perspectives and storytelling in his work


Hearing about Judy Garlands story actually made cry


I’ve always gotten a bad vibe from that movie but dang it’s worse than I thought


I figured out you didn't  know anything at all when you called the men who built the pyramids "volunteers" 🤣 you meant slaves


17:10 Contrary to common belief, Al Jolson was actually known to fight racial discrimination. Although he did blackface, he had no malicious intent. For him, it was just a form of performance. I am not condoning blackface, as it definitely has racist connotations. I just hope to clear Al Jolson's name. He's no saint, but at least he's not a racist.

@_*ZAPATOZ*_ How is it either lame or woke?

>>>"at least he's not a racist."<br>lame woke excuse.

>>>"at least he's not a racist."
lame woke excuse.

Nor's Ben Vereeen, and he also did a blackface routine in the 1980's.


It'd be nice if you did a parallel vid related to Trout Mask Replica and Captain Beefheart. A similar story about abuse to produce a masterpiece.

There was no abuse in <i>Wizard</i> , just hard work.

There was no abuse in _Wizard_ , just hard work.


NOT A Fan Of "Swanee River"
OR "Mammy" I See? MGM
MADE Judy Garland. She Was
Merely Francis Gumm Prior
To THEIR Involvement. So
It's Not Like She Had MANY
Options Outside Of Plainess.


I'll never look at that movie the same again. I could've gone my whole life not knowing that history, but I'm glad I did learn it. It was interesting, horrifying, and absolutely shocking. Nice video!


Wow if you think about it Ray Bolger was probably the most comfortable of them all.


this fucked me up man. The Judy Garland part made me take off my shirt cuz my whole body started getting hives goddamn. Good vid


Man the lion must’ve been RIPPED by the end.


8:23 the first Pete Best reference I've heard. Instantly subscribed❤


Gets engulfed in a fucking fireball and gets her skin scorched off but still returns to set to finish the film

"Okcool you're back go do this scene with explosives bye."

*Gets engulfed in a fucking fireball and gets her skin scorched off but still returns to set to finish the film*

I just got my second Covid vaccine, and have been feeling like shit. This is exactly what I needed. Thanks, Emp. I appreciate it.

Got my first one the day before yesterday. I was getting close to feeling that dying maybe was preferable, but I think it still was worth it.


i spent the first minute and a half going "that guy looks like rusty cage" and then suddenly It clicked "THAT IS RUSTY CAGE"


1:49 💀💀💀 Holy Shit! Employment just took this guys life💀💀💀


What do these things all have in common? It's a mystery.


Words cannot express how I feel about this video. Its absolutely incredible. Its amazing the impact the film had on cinema. Its frightening how this reflects on Hollywood today. Well done EmperorLemon!


The only reason I feel uncomfortable watching this movie is because Now I know what went on behind the scenes which is why I don't wanna become an actor because you never know what really goes on behind the scenes


At least it was good, imagine if it was a flop and all that pain was for nothing.

There have been hundreds of cases of that. Actors know it's part of showbiz.


People are still surprised that this happens in Hollywood? 😂 wtf you been last couple years

I'm just waiting for this to be revealed to be about Q 😂


That is by far the best ad I’ve ever seen


It feels like suffering and art are always together

"Squidward, i think im suffering from my art now"


At least the Wizard of Oz, 1982 was much better and 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful was a great reboot.


I thought the title said “the wizard of Oz is the Dark Souls of Hollywood”


I love Emplemon. He can talk about anything and get me completely invested in it.


When I heard hair I immediately knew keeps sponsored him


I'm a little disappointed you didn't reference the guards doing the "oh we oh, we oh oh" song and dance from the simpsons.  I swear the simpsons is the american jojo, it has pervaded through everything humanity has ever created.


R.I.P Judy Garland, she didn't deserve to die the way she did, she deserved happiness but didn't get it, a true tragedy.


I find it truly incredible that a channel originally known for YouTube Poops is creating some of the most genuinely poignant, insightful and thought-provoking content on this platform that also coves such a diverse range of topics in the most engaging way.  Bravo to you always EmpLemon!


Mcully culkin had lime disease bro, he did drugs for a very short period of time, but when he looked like a crackhead he wasnt on drugs, he was ill


"Goodbye yellow brick road, where the dogs of society howl."


That 8-bit Any Colour You Like is amazing.


Wow Pedowood would do this?! I caaan’t believe it.


An intresting quote I heard from one of my philosophy teachers in school.
"Art is testament of the obsession of man to reach immortality!"
Unfortently I don't know were it is from.


Judy Garland: <br>MGM: oh shit we broke it


Emplemon posts a new video<br>Me, grabs a popcorn and waits for movie night

Me, grabs a popcorn and waits for movie night


How much should you get paid to endure this and show up for the next day


Gotta give you props I am really digging the new content. But when are you going to make Frying Dory?


I feel bad for everyone on set but man poor Judy :( I never knew enough about her to know her life story was that sad. I guess that says a lot about the character versus the actor. Generally everyone remembers the character more than the actor. At least there is one bright note. I can only imagine how her character alongside all the others brought much needed joy and escapism to countless kids living in the post Great-depression-WWII era.


I wouldn't say Judy Garland is forgotten, but yeah.... Couldn't tell you who the other people were played by even having just watched the video.


I read the title as “The wizard of Oz is the Dark souls of Hollywood”


I played Scarecrow, one of my best friends played the Tin Man

shenanigans ensued

18:55 I feel like Star Wars would be more recognized by now


I don't believe that you can say that Judy Garlands struggle was forgotten, not only with the release of Zellweger's Judy but she's still a very recognizable figure.

Forgotten may have not been the right word to use, but he’s certainly correct about the legacy of the fictional character Garland played has certainly surpassed her own in terms of how well known it is, which is pretty sad.

That being said, I don’t agree that the art always outlasts the artists, although with actors that may be the case. With directors though it certainly isn’t, as people like Kubrick, Hitchcock, and Tarantino are considered all time greats by people who’ve probably only seen a couple of their movies max.


What happened?
we made one of the best movies ever
what did it cost?
everything.


What are the chances the first green man in history to scale the highest peak in Fla would also be a world famous YouTube man? The odds are mind-boggling. Leonardo Davinci over here.


Not revealing your hand until the very end was smart.


Judy Garland was stunningly beautiful and it's heartbreaking that that wasn't enough for them.

Movie studios had very narrow ideas of beauty, according to which Judy's eyes were too far apart, her nose was too snubby, and her teeth needed fixing. On that last point, she did have a gap in them, but she had that taken care of.

@Odin Sørensen It wasn't her weight as much as it was her curves; she was a teenager with a mature figure (for all that she was 4'11"), and by a combination of reduced food intake, exercise with her stunt double, and innovative costuming, they would be able to make her appear as a prepubescent, and they certainly succeeded. People who met her after seeing the movie were shocked to behold a sophisticated young woman. As she put it in an interview not long after the movie had been out for a while, "They expect someone in gingham, with braids, to come out singing 'Over the Rainbow.'”

@Odin Sørensen women can’t lose fat easily due to biology (pregnancy and the like)

She was kinda fat in that photo. And she didn't look very starved at all in the film. I guess women don't lose fat very easily, and they're specifically given much smaller rations in bootcamp to make them lose weight I'm told.


There is no dark side of Hollywood, really. Matter of fact it's all dark.


This is some final destination shit. How did all this crazy stuff happen in one studio.


You should talk about toy story 2 production that would be a great video


you think the asbestos in the snow is bad here, look at the gold rush by chaplin. pretty much everyone on set got cancer after the blizzard scenes


There will never be another movie like “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” ever again. Please do this one!!!


How could he leave out the most notorious abuse of the dwarves in the movie. The suicide etc.?!


Coulda done without the first 2:50 minutes but otherwise cool vid 👍


I've always hated this movie. It just seemed uncanny to me. Looks like there was some validity to my instinct.


Why is no one talking about such a great intro?


there will NEVER EVER be another classic film like it

The Lord of the Rings would like a word with The Wizard of Oz if we wanna talk about the dedication and scale of the production...


this movie is dark like seeing the dark side of the moon.


Judy Garland deserved so much better. Rest in peace.


it nice to know hollywood hasn't change it bad conditions.


15:02 First picture is of a young Drew Barrymore, who is very much alive.


That lion is the worst fursuit I've ever heard of!


ending with dark side of the moon huh. nice touch


There was a on set legend about the hanging munchkin


Please tell me where you got the "stupid sonova" sound clip from! I had the toy that made that and have been lookong for at least the sounds lol


the first two minutes basically explained why I got 2 unskippable ads even after refreshing the page.


wow unregulated capitalism is fuckin hell huh


Apparently corsets aren't that bad, at least that's what all the Victorian clothing enthusiasts on Youtube will come out of the woodwork to tell you


I also heard that one of the drawfs killed himself on set cause of harsh treatment


I’d highly recommend everyone interested in going deeper into behind the scenes events of Hollywood to watch Life After Pi. It’s a documentary about the CGI team behind Life of Pi and all the shit they went through.

surprised maskedman hasn't tainted this thread yet

@Discount Chocolate how do they strike when they're fired

Yo I literally just finished reading the book version of that story in English class

@OrangeSlushy Some truly vile bastards. The industry leveraged their oligopolistic power - the same power the SCOTUS tried to break up in the late 1940s! - to put these newly-unemployed animators on a de-facto blacklist, and then had the gall to say "you did an excellent job, now shut up and go away so we can swim in this pile of cash you made us in peace".

If Hollywood CGI and cartoon animators so chose, I would put my full support behind an industry-wide animators' strike comparable to the 2007 writers' strike, after hearing about this travesty. If studios are going to act with impunity, subjecting workers to crunch only to destroy their jobs when a project is finished, those workers might as well band together to make ambitious or "unreasonable"-sounding demands like some semblance of job security, high-enough salaries to afford the absurdly high living costs in California, healthcare/benefits, the works.

@Discount Chocolate yyyeeep. The got cut by the jaws theme during their Oscar acceptance speech trying to say something about it.

Didn't the Oscar-winning team of animators who worked on <i>Life of Pi</i> get laid off right after production finished, only to be unable to get re-hired because of an "anti-poaching" agreement among the major Hollywood studios?

You skipped the part about Judy being molested by the producers.


Did you put at the end Any Colour You Like 8bit edition at the end?

thats fucking smart


Tragic as hell. I'm really sorry for Judy Garland. On a happier note I'm glad Macaulay Culkin is doing better now with Brenda Song and their child

Not tragic at all; everyone emerged from that movie alive and well, or at least, in Miss Hamilton's case, healing. They loved how it turned out, and Judy's real problems had yet to begin.


Video Suggestion : Vinesauce.

I just think that Vinesauce has such a vast history that a video about it would be real cool.


okay that was an insane amount of effort just for a sponsor segment


Emplemon was the right person to make this video. It’s too sad to be a Critical Drinker episode of production hell


If they tried to pull this shit today, the hate would most certainly overpower the actual production.

Trying to make your ad funny doesn't excuse it being that long, but I did appreciate the creativity


Jesus if that happened I’d just be like screw yall im outta here


I knew that people could be absolutely terrible, but this was just surprising.


Huh, I kind of wish I didn't come to learn of this


My wife grew up in Turkey and had never heard of this movie before I showed it to her as an adult. We think of our pop culture as ubiquitous to the rest of the world, yet most of the human population hasn't had our same English speaking cultural experiences.

I am from South America and altough i already heard the story of the Wizard of Oz i barely knew anything at all when it comes to the movie

At the same time tho, there are plenty of characters/films that transcend language barriers. Usually it's animation because it's a mostly visual medium, and dubbing animation is a far cleaner process than dubbing film. That's why Disney and Warner took over the world while MGM went bankrupt. So I guess Snow White won in the end XD
You guys may not have seen this, but I doubt you hadn't at least heard of Mickey Mouse and/or Bugs Bunny or even just seen merch.

@Pimentel _ brazilian here, and i remember being shown this movie in preschool. i even played espantalho (already forgot the translation and i dont care looking it up) in a play that year

Can confirm, am portuguese, never seen this movie. Though i recognise this characters from some Phineas and Ferb episode

Oh yeah, and she and her sister absolutely loved it.


Oh I thought this was about how no people of color appeared in the movie lol. But yea it sucked for all the people even allowed to be in it.


Bit reductive to talk about Alzheimer's, then go on to say that most ailments can be temporary, and then talk about mental health.


All everyone talked about in the 90's was the stupid bird in the forest scene that looks like someone swinging from a rope at one point.

Never any of this.


Film is not the pyramids of Giza. Film can barely even be considered art next to traditional forms of art. What kind of a moron do you need to be to think it's worthy of personal sacrifice?
This story only makes this film have less value, not more. These actors weren't true volunteers, and the sacrifice thrust upon them was in total vain. They were exploited by a corporation to make a consumer product for the lowest common denominator of society at the time, they are on par with porn photographers and paparazzi.
(and seemingly a lot of it was made on the authority of the scientific community declaring random chemicals to be safe whenever they please)

Just goes to show that every single time you pay for content you are doing something evil. Objectively. Every time you pay for content some kid gets toxic chemicals smeared all over his face or gets addicted to hard drugs. Pirate everything and be sure to seed.


This is the perfect example of the quote <b>”we won, but at what cost?”</b>

This is the perfect example of the quote *”we won, but at what cost?”*


Art can make someone immortal... Tell that to Adolf who burned some of the world's greatest art because he fail out of art school (and he felt they had Jewish influence.)


So close to the discussion of "dark sides of Hollywood" and "immortality", but never talking about adrenochrome. The video feels incomplete.


Actors sacrifice their souls all the time for fleeting fame. Priorities out of wack.


9:45
they were normal
Until they took up wizard of Oz


Hey Emp, ive been watching your videos since Hank Hill's Airport Apocalypse and I can't believe its been 7 years already. Thanks for the interesting content for all these years!


You also forgot to mention Judy garland getting molested by several men including some of the munchikins while filming the wizard of oz


I've always felt like this movie has some bad vibes, and maybe this is why O_o...

Canalave / Riley Renewal / Emma R.R. (SYSTEM)


They should've just animated this movie.


I haven’t seen this movie, but I don’t know if I can now. Knowing what happened to this people would fill me with dread each time I saw their personas on screen.


I know you've moved on to other things to but woud you reupload your old YouTube poops like "SpongeBob beats his snail performance enhancing drugs"? They are some of the finest videos I have ever seen on this website lol


Give a child speed and downers and their the problem once they become addicted. It’s crazy how this is still happening today. Macauly look like Bieber! It’s so sad how these execs treat these supposed stars. Keep your kids away from Disney, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street , and Hollywood


Great video.  You didn't need the bit at the beginning or at the end though.  You could have stuck with the straight documentary.


Emp's just in a constant upward spiral at this point

When you hit the bottom only one way remains upward

the spiral is constantly moving in both directions

honestly I think the spiral is now moving through interdimensional space


I don't know if I'd rather be working on that set or starving in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas or perhaps enslaved in Angband. Probably enslaved in Angband. It doesn't snow asbestos in Angband.


the pyramids of giza are so big in person they are like man made mountains.


The 8-bit any color you like outro was a nice touch I like it


Holy f word that last part there really confused me but also amazed me some 200iq stuff right there


Isn’t it weird that I have never watched the wizard of oz?


I died at J. Jonah Jameson Mervin LeRoy Hospital calls, tooo good!


Dear God. I knew about the Tin Man makeup but nothing else. It sounds like hell on Earth.


"As well as a TWO inch deep gash on her leg" *than shows a pic of a 8 inch LONG cut 😁oh u thought u got away with that one


When I first saw the title I thought it was about the movie and how it mixxed with the Pink Floyd album


Talking about MGM, Shirley temple was even worse


My mother fucking adores this film. This'll be interesting.<br>Generally when you think of Hollywood people might think "Acting, how hard can it be." Pff. Buddy. This shit gives under sea welders a run for their money. Anybody remember The Abyss?

You think you're so slick. lol


Reminds me of this saying "Every regulation is written in blood."


Not to mention what the munchkins allegedly did to Judy...


10:15 they could have at least put a layer of grease paint over Hamilton's face first

@Rob Quin The twenty or thirty men who played the Winkies wore the same formulation, as well as the same style of prosthetic noses, and while they didn't have nearly the problem she had, one of them was drinking a cup of hot tea one time, and his wife suddenly alerted him to the fact that his nose was melting!

The make-up <b>was</b> greasepaint. The copper was what made it green.

The make-up *was* greasepaint. The copper was what made it green.


I’m astonished that not one mention of the conditions faced by the little people actors was noted. I expected that to be the whole video actually


emp: death, starvation, poverty
music: teehee funny animal crossing plink plonk

emp: *_death, starvation, poverty_*
music: teehee funny animal crossing plink plonk


Poor actors and actresses they had to go through that. The peoples mental heath is more inportant than the movie


No wonder the Munchkin hung it self on set.


Lion Suit 45KG

Haruno Nakajima while playing Godzilla in the 1954 Godzilla movie: Hold my beer

1954 Godzilla Suit - 100KG, suit made out of a mix of concrete


Nobody mentioned that the fact that a munchkin killed itself on set and is visible inbetween two trees in one scene.

I thought it was debunked and that was actually a crowned crane from the L.A. zoo flapping it's wings.


Popularity and sacrifice are the two sides of the coin that many people are willing to hold dearly. <br>However, one has to wonder, is it worth copper poisoning for?

This video felt much darker than your others I love it.


Isn't the weather alert screeching noise illegal to use?


All I could think was he has the same shower curtains than me

Before anything I just want to say that I am wrong


Ok all the stuff that happened to judy seriously makes me angry


It's insane how good you are at stark and memorable imagery that sticks in my mind. You're amazing at making me think about your video for days after I've seen it. One of the stranger forms of high art out there for sure. Good shit


Ok this is depressing....I'm gonna go watch cartoons


The work on the piramids was stational, a good portion of the year the farm lands where flooded and thats wen they build the piramids


To make things worse, Garland would be sexually harassed by the actors who played the Munchkins.

Poor girl. 😥


Hamilton was also the only costar who treated Judy nice.


Old school actors went hard, three stooges broke more bones than anyone.

Silent film comedian Buster Keaton once fractured his neck doing a stunt in one of his movies and didn't realize he'd done so until decades later when a doctor discovered the tell-tale signs of a healed fracture when Keaton had gone in to have X-rays done.

@British F type gr3 Do you remember Eval Knievel?

Bikers and race drivers were the only ones who could break as many bones as they can...unfortunately having a way higher death rate

@Melissa Cooper I've heard that story. Moe, like a lot of old-timers, was a true professional, and a very tough person. He and Margaret Hamilton were cut from the same cloth.

I still remember the story where the Stooges were filming "Pardon My Scotch". In one scene Curly had sawed a table in half. Moe took one step and fell on his side! He then slowly stood up, slapped Larry and Curly then passed out! He was taken to the hospital where it was discovered that he had cracked three ribs when he fell!


this is so disheartening once again money hungry people are exploiting


Rewatched some Jon boos recently and then this. Fire


Don't look up the Early Life section of all the execs they named, worst mistake of my life!


13:33 She was 16 at the time of filming.


a great doc, and a surprisingly great MIDI of Any Colour You Like?


The outro is perfection set to an 8-Bit version of Pink Floyd's "Any Colour you Like" and especially with the connections people have made between Wizard of Oz and Dark Side. Extra attention to detail, Emp, that's what makes me keep coming back for your videos.


Is there a reason why EmpLemon's comment sections are about as awful as the stuff that happened behind the scenes in this film?


Dark side of Hollywood? I prefer the Blart side of Hollywood.


Everyone in the comments gangster until MaskedMan66 owns you with facts and logic about how production abuse isn’t real


I hate hearing the stories of this movies awful production, because it shows how shitty Hollywood can treat its actors and get away with it seemingly


At 19:44, Any Colour You Like by Pink Floyd starts playing. This is a song from Dark Side of the Moon. The still image shows 2 things, a rainbow and pyramids. Promotional material for Dark side of the Moon contains both pyramids and rainbows. There's a common urban legend that playing Dark Side of the Moon alongside The Wizard Oz will create a perfect sync (Often named "Dark Side of the Rainbow"). Either this was intentional and quite subtle or that's a crazy coincidence.


This is the light dark side of Hollywood


The  Muppet version is much more accurate


So basically the makeup guy was a psychopath.


All I know is that the actress who played Dorothy was on a strict diet of black coffee and 80 cigarettes a day to look the way she did. Also some kind of soup if I remember clearly…

@Fort Beauty standards in general tend to become ridiculously strict damn near always. America, Japan and Korea are probably some of the biggest examples. Then theres contractual purity, which is another matter entirely

@Mary Moon if I’m remembering correctly, Hugh Jackman had to dehydrate himself for over two days before each shirtless scene in a lot of the Wolverine movies to look as shredded as he did, and went to the hospital multiple times because of it. Hollywood is actually evil when it comes to beauty standards for actors

Can we throw Hollywood and all bad people out of a window? Mob Justice time?

Boby image issues is sadly a thing a lot of actors and actresses still have to go through to this day. Hollywood has been really toxic about pressuring people about how they look.

I remember I read something some where that the actress who played Cinderella in the live action Disney remake was forced to
eat really small portions of food and had to do extreme exercise for 2 week just so she could fit into the one blue dress. She was already thin too so I don't understand why they couldn't have got a dress a little bit bigger for her.

@Kyle Crockett I’ve only seen the film once when I was young and didn’t think much about it until watching this video.

You don't know that her name is Judy Garland fr?


I knew it was bad, but didn’t know it was that bad.


"the dark side of *insert thing here*" this title has lost all meaning really because its so overused, people should just start being ironic about it

@atnip no, I think you misunderstand what I’m getting at. I’m not suggesting that WoO coined the phrase “dark side.” Like you said, that phrase has existed in the English language for a while, so much so that, again to your point, it’s become clichéd to make reference to it in an unironic fashion.

I’m saying that, in this one particular instance, there is a real world phenomena which many people today know about which is commonly referred to as the “Dark Side of the Rainbow” effect; which is basically that, if you start Pink Floyd’s album Dark Side of the Moon at the same time as The Wizard of Oz and play them simultaneously, the lyrics of the album coincidentally line up literally and thematically with what is transpiring in the movie. In reality, this can be done with Dark Side of the Moon and a litany of other films. Regardless of how interesting or profound that synchronicity actually is, many people associate Wizard of Oz with the phrase “dark side” because of this well known effect that gets shared around by stoners and people on the internet.

So, for a specific case like this video, the choice to use the phrase “dark side” is not as egregiously clichéd as most other instances in which you’ll see it, since that mental connection already exists for a lot of people. Emp, being a massive fan of progressive/alternative rock (including Floyd), is likely aware of the Dark Side of the Rainbow Effect and chose this title to specifically reference it, which would furthermore give him an additional reason to incorporate more Pink Floyd instrumentals in his videos which he has quite a few times before (and to be clear he DOES use some Dark Side of the Moon music in this video, so I don’t think I’m necessarily reaching with that).

Hope this helped clear up what I meant

@Former CT Governor Dannel Malloy i dont think the dark side of wizard of oz coined the term dark side people have been saying things have a dark side before wizard of oz even existed but are you talking about how "the dark side" is a trend on youtube and it started with "the dark side of wizard of oz"?

Regardless of how genuinely clichéd that is, I’m pretty sure the title is in direct reference to the “Dark Side of the Rainbow,” which refers to the apparent (although mostly coincidental) synchronicity between Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz. So, in this case, the title doubles as a reference to a well known phenomena related to the movie as well as a statement on how corrupt and terrible the experience was for everybody involved. And beyond that, it gives Emp an excuse to use more prog rock in his videos lol


Tying the Egyptians building the pyramids and sacrificing themselves for something greater was a dope touch


2500 feet LOL I'm using that now! I also like to use 20 foot clown pole.


I heard that "any colour you like" sample. Very nice.


That Egyptian ending fucked. me. up. Good god

Damn, Judy is like Sarah Lynn from Bojack Horseman


I actually never watched or read wizard of oz


This may be your best downward spiral yet, Emp. The way the stories were organized in ascending levels horrific was perfect. S-tier youtube video!<br>(That said, you should have mentioned how Judie Garland was sexually assaulted by the munchkins)

This may be your best downward spiral yet, Emp. The way the stories were organized in ascending levels horrific was perfect. S-tier youtube video!
(That said, you should have mentioned how Judie Garland was sexually assaulted by the munchkins)

Her name was Judy, not "Judie," and she was not secually assaulted by anybody, least of all people she could have easily kicked aside.


Isn’t asbestus.. mold? They used MOLD for SNOW and COATED THE ACTORS IN IT???


I need you to understand that every minute of this video was realizing that the pit of despair kept going, and you're just one level deeper.


There is no dark side of hollywood, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.


<b>wheezing from metallic paint allergies</b>

*wheezing from metallic paint allergies*


This video had to come up when I had to sleep. Damn intro spooked me.


Judy Garland is basically if nobody helped Brian Wilson.


You might think the moral of the story is: "union good", but I think the real moral is don't be afraid to walk out and find a different job. Bullies will continue to bully as long as you put up with it.

Except at the time none of the actors could sue because no other studio would take them after that,  hereby cutting their career short so directors and producers could get away with anything. At least now actors have more of a say on how they are treated in a studio as well as an option to walk away without reprecussions on their career.


20:17 I thought you were gonna mention Graham Hancock or John Anthony West


You put in sweat blood in tears into these movies but not like this


Is that a synth version of dark side of the moon playing in the baackground of the piramid segment.


Garland was one classy, beautiful, talented lady. RIP Judy...

Return was better tho

@MaskedMan66. It is. But Oz is Oz. And Return is fuckin freaky and really hits my buttons. But it's all subjective either way. Really want to try one of those lunch pails that grow on the trees.

It was more accurately Ozzy, to be sure, but you're really talking apples and oranges.


I was literally just thinking about the wizard of oz and then boom emp video about it


i love use of the pink floyd song at the end


do you know  the darkside of oz they put darkside of the moon over the movie and remove the original audio


This is Hollywood, where's the bright side?


Its weird seeing rusty cage in this video


Man theres no way I could make something as well crafted an thoughtout as this. Very nice, 10/10


little dark side of the rainbow at the end there, very nice


And now there's only 4 munchkins from this movie left in existence,.


I didn’t even know you were still<br>Making videos? I’ve been subbed forever but haven’t seen anything of yours pop up in my sub box or recommended in I don’t even know how long?

I didn’t even know you were still
Making videos? I’ve been subbed forever but haven’t seen anything of yours pop up in my sub box or recommended in I don’t even know how long?


Surprised you didn't mention that the actors who played the Munchkins were paid less than the dog

Why would you pay the dog in the first place? Dogs don't use money you pay them in treats.

I mean, I get that this isn't the main issue, but why feel the need to pay a dog, which doesn't really understand or care about money, just give the thing some treats and it'd be happy.


The hanging dwarf in the background when they start walking the yellow brick road… y’all remember that? Idk if he said sum about it yet I’m only 4 min in to the vid


WHY DIDNT I GET A NOTIFICATION THIS IS ART


Didn't know any of this. Not that it entirely matters since they're all dead, but I'm not watching this movie or buying it to support whoever profits from it.


And the worst part of all of it is....the company behind the film gave no shits for the well being of their actors...it's pretty fucking depressing and messed up.


Wow, Nembutal = Yellow Peril.  I used to abuse them.....yeah.


I happened to be in the Able Sister’s shop just as the song came on in this video


Judy Garland alone is just a sad story to show Hollywood's as a nightmare


12:25 $825 at the time is now worth $15,625.50
Its not worth risking your life and Alzheimer's for a 5 figure payment.


2:52 if you don't want to waste your time


Why is MaskedMan66 so mad lol. Buddy is spending hours replying to every single comment and reply

Fr lmfao, it's the most saddest thing I've ever seen.


The worst part about watching a new emplemon video is that I can never watch it for the first time again.


Some things are just better left as a book.


it was the late 30’s, what did you expect?


This reminded me of oz from diary of a wimpy kid


Tbf it was either acting, painting things with radioactive paint, or building skyscrapers with hand tools and no harness. So not a bad gig for the 30s


I guess you could say...

There will never ever be a film like The Wizard of Oz.

Except not in the congratulatory way something usually is never like something else on this channel.


How'd you get Steve Buscemi to do your ad that's crazy


Chock full of Emerald programming, using vast swaths of Jade, green, black with a hidden drug theme (Opium Poppies).  Recently seen in Kung Fu Panda 3 (Kai aka Ocean) with another weird water reference.  After an entire house falls on the Witch of the East, the Wicked Witch of the West seeks total control over the RUBY Slippers.


Louis Mayer is one of the worst people in American History. He is often overlooked and most don’t know who he is, but he is legit one of the worst public figures ever.


The background noise during the intro is the Seinfeld theme slowed down 1200%.


I love how emplemon can give a informative video about a topic and make it interesting.


This is horrendous. I will never look at this movie the same way again.


I didn’t even know this was posted until right now. I’m upset due to this.


Is this when America was "great"? Still unsure.


I wonder if they have the real take somewhere where she is on film set on fire


At first I thought Oz was a fantasy, now I realize it's a tragedy


Buddy Epsen is the guy from the Beverly Hillbillies


Jackals the lot of them. Hope we learn from our mistakes.


I saw what you did there with the Pink Floyd covers


I went no way no way no way as you kept talking this was like my childhood movie

But your last statement really resonated within me


Guys, guys! "AN"
Instead of AND that is the most hilarious thing in the entire world, you guys!

Guys, guys! *"AN"*
Instead of *AND* that is the most hilarious thing in the entire world, you guys!


I have hair and this ad made me want to buy keeps


Boy, and he didn't even covered what happened to the people acting as the dwarves


I'm so glad Emp Lemon pivoted his channel to wanting to talk about things that interest him. Dude is so smart and creative I love to see the things he's interested in. Thanks for all the hard work on a great vid Lemon loved it! 👍


I thought it read "The Darkseid of Hollywood"


It’s crazy that’s there’s more dark things that happened BTS


Lmao studios "had unparalleled influence"


ive thought about how someone who is perfect for the role could have just as easily not been in that role and either i would never care bc the other person would do a good enough job or some weird part of me is gonna feel like someone else deserved the role


Emp, any comment on the fact that YouTube has destroyed the dislike and has essentially removed it from the platform?


How about a little fire, scarecrow? Seems ironic in hindsight

So this comment got me thinking about Judy Garland becoming the Highlander after overdosing. And I need this in my life.

...me?
I don't mind dying, but the thought of growing old terrifies me.

Will never forget how my grandma looked during her last days... I'd rather die young.

video about the wizard of oz, use music from dark side of the moon, nice.


Genuine question.
Does anyone know the piece of music playing in the background from @16.30 onwards?
TIA.

EmpLemon has a music list in the description.


Didn't even see this come out, thanks youtube


I have even more of an appreciation for this timeless classic now just knowing the hell those people went through to make it

@MaskedMan66 especially after experiencing something way way worse than hell itself

@acacia Nothing's worse than hell-- not even war.

Discomfort, hard work, and hellishly hot lights, but not hell itself.


Can we show some love to our Chewbacca fan maskedman66? Bro almost has 1000 comments on this specific video "spitting facts" or whatever, if that's not dedication, I don't know what is.


The bottom of the thumbnail makes me think I’ve watched the video already. Idk why but every time I see it I think it’s the progress bar


2:53 if you want to skip that annoying ass ad skit.


My favorite scene in The Wizard of Oz is Kurt Busch’s downward spiral after Hungrybox beats him in the final race of the NASCAR championships.

Don't forget when Hungrybox threw Kurt Busch off the top of the Hell in a Cell cage.


1:05 of course this mad man lives in Florida


Rusty cage more like backwoods Steve Buscemi


9:09 that’s the lion SKIN ALONE??

Not when it was a sleepy little suburb of LA whose residents included a family named Baum.


Is the intro song a parody of another song it sounds so familiar?


A diet of cigarettes, meth, and barbiturates isn't good for you?


After all the horror stories related to the character's costumes, I didn't expect Judy Garland to have one herself.
In a way, her figure was her costume. and If she wasn't gonna have to ruin her body by dressing It up, she was gonna have to ruin It just so she COULD dress It up and play the part.

take this with a grain of salt, since I'm not much of a poet or have a way with words. But, hopefully, this conveys my thought prosses.


Is the title a reference to the wizard of oz - dark side of the moon mashup?


I have a drinking game: drink a shot everytime MaskedMan66 shows up in the comments


Everyone removed from the Public eye except Margaret Hamilton who got an episode of Sesame Street banned because she reprised her role as the wicked witch

@JohnnyKlebitzRevenge I could never get into that movie; give me any version of "A Christmas Carol. " 🙂

Well, except that horrible BBC fiasco from a couple of years ago.

@MaskedMan66 my family usually did the same thing with a Christmas Story.... At least on my Dad's side

@JohnnyKlebitzRevenge I tellya, though: there was nothing like that annual anticipation building up to the traditional broadcast of the movie. Families would all sit in front of the T.V. together, no other distractions, and watch it every year. Those were the days!

@JohnnyKlebitzRevenge I've seen that show; someone posted it here, and I don't see what the problem was.

Both of those shows are on YT, by the way, and well worth checking out! 🙂

@MaskedMan66 I'm not sure, I didn't grow up on Wizard of Oz. I just knew of the Maragaret Hamilton Sesame Street fiasco

What do you mean "removed from the public eye?" As long as any of these people lived, they made themselves visible; in the 1970's especially, Hamilton, Bolger and Haley were very much in the public eye because of the coming 40th anniversary in 1979. Bolger even reprised his Scarecrow for a musical skit on The Donny & Marie Osmond Show in 1977. Likewise, Miss Hamilton played the Wicked Witch in The Paul Lynde Halloween Special in 1976.

@Raymunator yeah, from what I heard, PBS was getting a bunch of WTF letters from parents

She was also in an episode of Mister Rogers

I remember hearing about it, they said it was too scary for kids, right?


What pisses me off the most is that this movie was made by the same assholes behind TOM & FUCKING JERRY, yet never ONE moment before making this film thought "GEE, maybe we should compete with an animated movie with ANOTHER animated movie!!!"; then the only thing the actors could've suffered was doing lines over too much!!!


@Bigbad75 the scene where they are In the scary forest the scarecrow for some unknown reason has a revolver in his hand


Stories like this really make realize we live in a cartoon sometimes, you'd like to think ppl this cartoonishly evil to others only existed in fiction


Didn’t she put on the green makeup again for a Sesame Street episode?

Entirely different kind of makeup. Green yes, but not literal poison, as far as I'm aware.


im copying all of that video for a presentation in my school, thank u


Macaulay Culkin isn't looking or doing that bad now a'days tho.


I watched the Wizard of Oz once as a kid, and after watching this video, the mere thought of that movie makes me sick.

We have the same shower curtain. Dunno why I only noticed that


My God. What these poor people went through make me want to cry.


all this trauma and I still prefer Snow White.


I like that the topic of your videos vary instead of it being similar. If you ever were to talk about Hollywood again, I would love for you to cover Marilyn Monroe and her tragic end. Nice video!

I'm sorry but did you say the snow was made of cancer?


Those closing statements were astonishing, excellent writing mr lemon.


Ah yes, the wild wild west of Hollywood. What the fuck. We're lawsuits not a thing back then???


Sweet Jesus, this was a shit show of a movie


did you adjust for inflation? Because $825 in 1939 is $15,850 today


I was too scared to look at the video, just scrolled through the comments the while listening


knife game man has incorrect opinions about copyright and looks like steve bushemi so at least that makes me giggle when he's in the shot


The only movie production off the top of my head that I think comes close to this troubled production would be “The Crow”.

@Warren Jehosephat Also <b>The Conqueror</b> starring John Wayne and one metric shitload of tumors.

Most other YouTube videos feel obsolete thanks to this guy. Thank you for the fucking amazing videos.


oh my god i didn’t know about margaret hamilton ..


There is, it is just very a very small group.


18:42 does anyone know what's the music playing?


Judy also got smacked red in the face by the producer as well.


And you didn't even bring up the suicide on set!


9:49 did you use the the music from spookslot from the Efteling here? or is it free public music


When you talked about what happened to Dorothy I felt like crying. It's one of the saddest and most tragic stories in cinema.

@MaskedMan66 dude. You need to use NON-fiction books.

@Rice Muffin Certainly; it's called "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Jay Scarfone and William Stillman, available at Barnes & Noble. And you will note that I said, "as good a time as anyone could have on a movie shoot."

hey man just out of curiosity can you link your source where apparently judy had a good time on the set? thanks

This video is full of lies and exaggerations. Judy had as good a time as anyone could have on a movie shoot (which is always a difficult job), made lifelong friends, and learned a lot about her craft. She only worked for four hours a day and went to school while everyone else was working on other bits of the movie during the rest of the eight-hour day.


Is that me or you have changed the channel's name? I could swear I have a Mandela Moment and it used to be Emperor Lemon, isn't?

@Good Value Gaming Emperor Lemon and then he changed it to emplemon after he stopped doing youtube poops

@mu$ashi thanks but was it Emperor Lemon or else?


Ahhh yes the wizard of oz the movie that a munchkin hanged himself


"its the art, not the artist that stands the test of time" hard AF


Yoo this dude looks like gaming historians brother


Any classical music fans know the song at 15:10????


I wanted to learn about the horrible stuff in Hollywood but MaskedMan66 in the comments is giving me a conniption.


Man, makes you wish you could go back and give them a hug or something and let them do whatever you can to make them feel safe and let them know they're loved.

They knew they were loved; it was a very close-knit cast and crew. Lahr, Bolger, and Haley were all old pals and got through the rougher times by telling each other jokes and playing pranks on each other. In time, they even brought Judy into their circle and soon they were pranking her and she was pranking them. As far as jokes went, however, there were some that they thought best to keep from her young ears. They also got on well with Victor Fleming, who was a director that actors liked to work with because he took suggestions from them as to how they could play their parts; he worked in a lot of their ad libs as well. And when the work day was done, they had their homes and families to go back to; things between Judy and her mother were, at this time, peaceful.


18:16 hang on look at October 6th 1939 did they make the first fast and furious?


Curious Cohencidence between Mayer and Weinstein thinking emoji thinking emoji


i was sure that u was going to talk about the suicidal munchkin


"An artist must suffer for their art" -Squidward Tentacles

@MaskedMan66 Then what about the fucking video where you are commenting this on

@Rabbit Inc. Judy didn't become addicted to anything until she'd grown up.

And no, she was not bullied by anybody on "Wizard." The producer, Mervyn LeRoy, was a huge fan of hers and had fought to get her the starring role, so he would not have allowed that sort of treatment of his star. She had previously worked with Billie Burke, Buddy Ebsen, and Jack Haley and got along with all of them. Ray Bolger especially found her enchanting, and was amazed by how smart she was. She once recited "The Raven" by Poe for him, and when the movie was complete, he made her a gift of a first edition woodcut of the poem.

@MaskedMan66 Judy was constantly being bullied by everyone who was making the movie except for Margaret

@MaskedMan66 I meant being a drug addict, it can take a long time to screw up and get one

@Rabbit Inc. One more thing: looking back over your previous comment, an overdose by definition happens pretty instantly.

@Rabbit Inc. I'm not arguing, I'm just telling the truth. The actors were not abused. They wore uncomfortable costumes and had to work under extremely hot lights, but that was moviemaking in those days. Now, the lights aren't as hot, but costumes are still uncomfortable.

Or are you saying that Anthony Daniels was "abused" by having to trudge through the desert in an all-enclosing fiberglass costume?

@Rabbit Inc. Nobody gave Judy meth. You're confusing methamphetamines with amphetamines, with which she was acquainted, but which she didn't take during her time on "Wizard." She never had anything to do with methamphetamines.

You're grasping at straws as far as Miss Hamilton is concerned. Show me a medical report directly linking her condition to anything she experienced while making "Wizard" and maybe your argument will have a bit of weight. At the moment, it's lighter than air.

@MaskedMan66 They still gave Judy meth and overdoses can take a long time to happen and Margaret getting Alzheimer's later in her life can be explained by the fact that Alzheimer's doesn't suddenly spring up, it can take a long time to developed even if you did or got something that can give you Alzheimer's.

@Rabbit Inc. WRONG.

Margaret Hamilton's Alzheimers hit her fifty years after the movie was made, and had nothing to do with anything she experienced while making it.

Also, Judy Garland's drug addictions started when she was grown up, not during "Wizard." Her accidental overdose happened thirty years after the movie.

@MaskedMan66 One of them got Alzheimer's and another died of a drug overdose they developed during filming

@Rabbit Inc. Lots of things have caused lots of people lifelong (that's one word) scars, but they carry on with their lives and don't obsess over them. I've had a scar by my eye since an accident when I was a toddler, but I hardly ever think about it.

@MaskedMan66 It did cost them life long scars

@infa   @infa  The movie didn't cause them any "life long (sic) trauma."

@MaskedMan66 are you saying that the people on set that had do deal with life long trauma deserved it because mUh mOViE?


song in the intro is in D but you're playing it on the keyboard in C.  UMSUBSCRIBE jk i am sub'd also your content is great

The sad thing is I don't even like the movie.


Name one other fucking youtuber who can just crank out the astonishing and thought provoking videos...you really deserve props Emp!


Vid was great til you brought up the pyramids. Maybe you should do some research on it and do a vid on the "conspiracy"


2:07 what does mean exactly that it is "reducing and stopping the symptoms of hair-loss"?
That sounds quite suspicious! What are the symptoms it is reducing?
It sounds like you can't legally say it is stopping hair-loss itself, because it doesn't really work!

Well of course you can't say it stops hair-loss itself, just like you can't say the flu vaccine 100% prevents you from getting the flu. The flu vaccine is very effective at helping you not get the flu, and if you do you'll have milder symptoms. If you think it doesn't work than how has it managed to be a effective solution that has helped many people. Not to mention Keeps is FDA approved, and if you think that you know more than they do go ahead and prove it.


It’s sad that Billie Burke (Glinda) and other Actors as Characters somehow haven’t experienced these Horrible Tragedies of Exhaustion…. Yet those who were Hurt did what they could to make others Entertained….

You definitely gotta bring up this horrible behind the scenes stuff next time you’re in class and discuss this book. I’d be curious to know how everyone would react and whether they’d think the end product was worth it or not.


Emp what are you thoughts on Tiktok taking over YouTube?


(Hey emplemon on your channel can you make a review on AEW????)


18:42 Y O U  H A V E  A  M E D I C A L  D I S O R D E R


This video is truly a masterpiece of it's own.

A true work of educational art.

An "education" in exaggerations and sensationalism.


Hmmm. Not one mention of MK Ultra. Interesting 🤔.


Not sure if I agree with the end. Think of charlie chaplin


Can u discuss the shitty things Disney has don't like thanking a concentration camp treating some of there actors like shit being hypocrites putting blame on someone else instead of themselves ect.


"Non omnis moriar", "Exegi monumentum" - two sentences that say the poet will never die because his work will never be forgotten. But what about the poet himself...


that's horrible

This video makes me so tense, God


Did the intro change because I don’t remember it this way


This is a tried and true case of don’t peek behind the curtain. Never see this movie the same again

@Kirby Arroyo You're telling Judy, Ray and Miss Hamilton to shut up as well.

Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, and Margaret Hamilton only saw the wonder and magic when they watched the film. They would want you to enjoy it and relax. :-)


Even as a young child, I hated this movie. Especially Dorothy ruining the effect of the gorgeous red slippers with her blue ankle socks. Ewwwww. And Glinda had a beautiful dress, but she was old. Ewwwww.

Yes that's what was wrong with the movie


HOOOOME
HOOOME AGAAAAIN

I like to be here when I caaaaan


Gosh what if something like this happened today. L


Why I am getting shiren head vibes at the beginning


COMPLETELY missed opportunity in the opening bit to have him sing “If I only had a *MANE*”


This is like the original actor for godzilla


Yo that to e before the tornado is mad illegal, might want to edit it out

Ngl that song at the beginning was pretty good.


Starting the video

Finishing the video

Special thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video. It's probably better for you than copper, asbestos and lion hyde. https://keeps.com/emplemon

it's amazing how this comment has been buried by the rest of the comment section

can you send the article or something about the volunteers on the pyramids? I could not find anything about it

It's good to know after all this time, you still have that Garbage YTP editing down pat. I love your new documentary videos a lot more though. A welcome change I would say. Keep at it mate

Lion hyde isn’t misspelled- it’s referring to Sam’s hair

Will likely watch your video tomorrow, Emp!

Damn it, brain. Stop telling me to kill myself.

Nice video. I knew some of these stories, but not all of them. Also thanks for the shout out in your description credits. A few people have come over and started listening.

Well I guess EmpLemon is going to Keep, religiously sponsoring Keeps for an undisclosed amount of time.

I am continually astounded by the quality of the Channels output, truly one of the best on this entire platform

There will never be another movie like “Who Franed Roger Rabbit” ever again. Please do this one!!!

Emp, your sponsored link does not work. I get 404. It looks like "emplemon%E2%80%8B" in my adress bar.

You probably won't see this comment but thank you. You have consistently made some of the best videos on the entire platform and it's always something new. Whenever I click on any of your newer videos I'm always gonna be entertained on something I didn't know much about or find a newfound appreciation for something that I didn't think about much before as well as be incredibly entertained. If I had to rank my favorite videos on this entire platform several of yours would likely crack the top 10. Thanks for making my day so much better whenever you upload

@don't forget my name he could’ve privated the video, put the comment, then unprivated the video

asbestos is worse than keeps, especially for breathing

Wait. That shit at the beginning was just an ad!?


There are Pink Floyd references here and I'm here for it.


A 3 minute intro ad. Nice way to be introduced to your channel...


There Will Never Ever Be Another Boondock’s Episode Like The Color of Ruckus. I feel as though that’s the best episode in the whole series because of how much layers there were to it due to the different viewpoints regarding race and class. If anyone can give a good enough essay on that show, it would be Emplemon.


Why is the music list titled "Super Mario Bros Ultimate Soundtrack"?


Your videos are outstanding, and I truly hope they withstand the test of time! Please keep providing us with this remarkable quality content!


This was really well done. I wish in the wrap up you may have spent some more time on how the time of Oz and what goes on behind the scenes isn't so different as we may imagine now. It could even be worse. At the same time leaving it open makes sure it will likely resonate with those who watch it now and in the future. Well done Emp.

Read these books for the real story: "The Making of The Wizard of Oz" (1977) by Aljean Harmetz with an introduction by Margaret Hamilton, "The Wizard of Oz: The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History" (1989) by John Fricke, Jay Scarfone, and William Stillman with an introduction by Jack Haley, Jr., and "The Road to Oz: The Evolution, Creation, and Legacy of a Motion Picture Masterpiece" (2019) by Scarfone and Stillman.


Such a somber yet beautiful video, my man. And as someone who wants to make movies and who loves films like the Wizard of Oz, I think I will come back to this video to remind myself never to let my ambition cause any harm to those who help me try to realize it.


While I commend the studio being dedicated to sticking as close to the source material as possible the story behind the scenes show that accuracy has to be sacrificed not only to have a better film but for the well being of the cast and crew.  Art in itself is amoral it's up to the artist to not make their art immorally.

@BoxyLemons The book as written would have been impossible to film in those days. They could do it now, but sadly, the MGM movie has a hammerlock on people's minds to such a degree that too many would reject something that had no echoes of it.

The movie in many ways actually changed lots of things from the original story. For one, the ruby slippers were originally silver.


The real question, has Hollywood honestly gotten any better?

Well, there's CG instead of poison paint.


All my life I thought the face of the cowardly lion looked like that because of prosthetics...had no idea the actor actually looked liked that ^^

Of course, he does appear with his own face in the Kansas bits.

LOL  So true! They worked hard to make sure that even in character, the actors would be recognizable.


There is an abandoned half way house up the street from me. Was run by a german couple who were psychology pioneers in the 1930s-60's. Judy Garland had stayed there for a short period of time, as it was far away from hollywood and press. Watching Wizard of Oz as a kid and my parents telling me about her troubles really opened up what had happened to her. Great vid Emp


As somebody from Kansas, the amount of Wizard of Oz jokes I’ve been subject to make me despise that movie

@_*ZAPATOZ*_ As are lots, like the Chicago "connection" I mentioned earlier. :-)

@MaskedMan66 >>"That's not the movie's fault"<br>its not, but the connection is understandable.

@MaskedMan66 >>"That's not the movie's fault"
its not, but the connection is understandable.

@Connor Odum That's not the movie's fault, that's just people thinking they're being clever and original. At least you're not from Chicago, where people get all sorts of Mob jokes made at 'em.

@MaskedMan66 I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told “You’re not in Kansas anymore” or been called Dorothy


Another quality video as always. Good stuff emp.


PLEASE make more of this shit, you got me to care about NASCAR, something I didn’t give a crap about before your video. Your story telling prowess is admirable.


When people say the greatest disaster  film is the room, The island of Dr. Meows and others would never think that the greatest film in human history was the most disastrous film in all cinematic history .


These videos are brilliant. I really hope you make one analyzing some aspect of the Beatles some day, as I'm sure it would be great


Thanks for making this, it's important that these stories are told.

Not when some of those stories are lies.


both you and rusty need to be on the official podcast<br>at the same time ofc

Really unfortunate that you used a picture featuring Al Jolson in reference to "talented people doing terrible things" sure, blackface is seen as a taboo by today's society but one cannot discredit the work Jolson did to support African American performers in show business at a time when society was openly racist and hostile to them.

@MaskedMan66 sir I don’t know what you’re drowning on about. I simply stated from the very beginning that you can point out what someone did as shitty without undermining any of the good they’ve done. If that bothers you, if the idea of acknowledging the past wrong doings of a person is a sign of unforgivingness to you, then I honestly have no idea to how you cope with the outside world. Nobody’s going to forget any of the good that Al Johnson has done. Him doing blackface isn’t going to damage his reputation. This wasn’t something that he tried to hide. He openly did blackface to a huge audience and was paid for it. Pretending that it never happened for the sake of “forgiveness” would be like if I ignored a stain on my t shirt.  Because nobody’s entitled for someone to forgive them. I don’t even have anything personal against the man. I literally don’t fucking care. He is no different than anyone else that did blackface as far as I’m concerned. But he still did blackface. So it’s not something that I’m just gonna pretend didn’t happen, because that’s a stupid thing to do. Shit you could forgive someone like Adolf hitler If you really wanted to. That doesn’t change the fact that 6 million people were wiped off the face of the earth because of him. You talk about forgiveness? Okay why don’t we forgive school shooters, rapists, or serial killers? Because if you don’t then that means you have a double standard. See how fucking dumb of an argument that sounds?

@Content Creator And yes, forgiveness means wiping the slate clean. Forgiveness without leaving the offense in the past is not forgiveness at all.

@Content Creator I didn't know I'd be talking about the Chinese actor to an activist thirty years after the fact, so I didn't get his name. In any case, his name isn't the point; I'm talking about him being done up to look occidental.

And I maintain that you have a double standard; you betray it by saying you object to Japanese people made up to look black and playing black characters, but leave out that they also get kitted out as white characters.

@MaskedMan66 I’ve already mentioned the wayan brothers, and I honestly don’t know who you’re referring to when you mention a Chinese guy. Secondly forgiveness doesn’t mean completely forgetting something that someone did in the past. You can still acknowledge the shitty things that people do. That’s literally the basis of history. Ben vereen, who starred in the TV show roots, did black face in tribute to bert williams. An African American actor who did blackface due to many audience members being racist and not wanting actual people of color performing. This double standard that you keep getting on about isn’t applicable for the argument that I was making. Blackface was a practice that was made to belittle people of color. White face is a rare practice that usually commentates on societal norms. And lastly yeah I think Japanese people doing blackface is still fucked up. I don’t know what the whole point of bringing that up was for.

@Content Creator I said you had a double standard (singular), and so you do. Okay, disregard the SNL skit (that very action being another example of that double standard) if you like, but what about the Wayans brothers and the Chinese actor I cited, and also have asked you about? For that matter, what about Japanese actors who do themselves up as white and black people, as has been done in various films?

Also, I've never disagreed with you that blackface was bad, but you disagreed with the idea of forgiveness, which is disturbing.

And you still haven't said a word about Ben Vereen's blackface act.

@Content Creator I said you had *a* double standard (singular), and so you do. Okay, disregard the SNL skit (that very action being another example of that double standard) if you like, but what about the Wayans brothers and the Chinese actor I cited, and also have asked you about? For that matter, what about Japanese actors who do themselves up as white and black people, as has been done in various films?

Also, I've never disagreed with you that blackface was bad, but you disagreed with the idea of forgiveness, which is disturbing.

And you still haven't said a word about Ben Vereen's blackface act.

@MaskedMan66 Well firstly blackface has been practiced since the civil war. A time which slaves were still around. The “double” standard that you’re talking about has no basis for argument. The whole purpose of black comedians/actors doing white face was for commentary of how they were treated better in white face than they were in their own skin color. And the amount of black people who did it is STAGGERINGLY low compared to those who practiced Blackface. A practice that was demeaning and made to poke fun at African Americans, and benefited from it without giving any of that success towards black people. You can disagree with me all you want. You can even say that I have double standards, but you can’t deny the history behind the practice. Anyone who has done blackface, is subject to criticism, and that’s all I was saying. It’s important to learn from the past. It’s what history is all about. So excuse me if I think a practice that has a bad history for over a century and belittles those with a darker complexion is far worse than an SNL skit  made to be a social commentary at a time where racial tensions were still high. My opinion and those who share mine, isn’t just pulled out of our asses. There’s a reason why it’s considered bad now. It wasn’t like a law was implemented that says “blackface bad” society learned from it’s past and deemed it immoral. What more are you trying to get at?

@Content Creator Black people were not slaves when blackface was seen in the movies and on the stage-- and many more people than Al Jolson did it, so laying it squarely on his shoulders is both silly and unfair. And with very few exceptions, black actors played black characters since as far back as the Silent Era (as it happens, there was one in the 1925 version of The Wizard of Oz ). No, it was not often in dignified roles, but nevertheless, there they were.

But I see you have a double standard going on, namely blackface bad, whiteface okay, rather than seeing both as questionable, so further discussion with you is likely bound to be unfruitful.

@MaskedMan66 White people ween’t enslaved in the U.S. for 400 years. The jokes that were made in from Murphy and the wayans  was that they garnered more respect from people while wearing white face, than they would from their own skin color . Blackface on the other hand originated from demeaning roots that portrayed African Americans as lazy uneducated people. It wasn’t like studio execs said “oh we need a black guy in our film but can’t find one.” They felt that a black person cannot perform that role as good as a white person could. It was always taboo. The only difference was that white people back then had a say in what was or wasn’t acceptable. If you can’t see the issue, if you’re just gonna keep defending al as if your his lawyer, I don’t know what else to tell you. I already said it like 3 times already you can still point out what someone did as being shitty without ignoring any of the good they’ve done. It’s not my responsibility to answer for people who do white face, just like it’s not yours to answer for people who do black face. If what you saw Eddie Murphy, or the Wayans did as offensive then take it with them.

@Content Creator So what about the Wayanses, Murphy, and the Chinese actor I mentioned? They did whiteface.

@MaskedMan66  look I don’t really care about al or anyone who does/did  blackface. All I’m saying is that people have a right to point out that it’s a shitty thing to do. If someone is a fan of him or Ben Vereen or whoever else that’s fine. But nobody’s going to forget about the shit they did. I’m not going to remember Al as “the guy who did blackface” but I’m also not going to pretend that it didn’t happen. Like I said, you can hold someone accountable without ignoring the good they’ve done. I’m sure Al was a decent down to earth man, but what he did was fucked up. That all I’m saying. No one’s a saint. I still get shitted on for things I regret doing. I’m pretty sure Al, Ben, and Eddie did too. So I’m not gonna forgive a man who I didn’t even bother to hold a grudge against.

@Content Creator Al Jolson has been dead for seventy-one years. And again, Ben Vereen did a blackface routine once, wearing a make-up darker than his own complexion.

And yes, we all have to forgive people, otherwise we carry grudges which do nobody, especially ourselves, any good. Grudges can be downright self-destructive.

Besides, if you truly object to the idea of someone of a certain color portraying someone of another color, then you have a long list of people who need to "account" for themselves, such as the Wayans brothers, Eddie Murphy, and a Chinese actor I saw in a Hong Kong martial arts movie who was made up to look like Chuck Norris.

@MaskedMan66 I don’t have to forgive shit quite frankly. It’s not like I actually know the man. If he did help out many black people in the industry, good on him. I’m not going to undermine the good he’s done. Im just saying that you can hold someone accountable for their actions. There’s a difference between forgiving and forgetting. And I’m pretty sure Al understands that many people won’t forget about him doing black face.

@Content Creator And you can also forgive, which is a far better alternative.

@Content Creator You have something against Ben Vereen?

@MaskedMan66 you can still hold someone accountable for doing bad things without completely ignoring the good.

I support Al Jolson doing black face because I’m racist

@Than Os And who's to say that this present time won't be judged so 80 years from now?

I guess if i was to elaborate on emp's point is that, people do things that are considered par for the course or "normal" for the times that future generations will probably call cruel or horrible

Exactly. Besides, I remember Ben Vereen doing a blackface routine in the 80's.


The suffering makes their acting better. Still, though, laws protecting actors from torture like this is a gift to the world. Glad to have the Wizard of Oz, more glad we won't have another like it.

The Screen Actors Guild was in full force by then, having been founded in 1933 by no less a personage than Boris Karloff, who was certainly no stranger to uncomfortable make-up and costuming.

Acting can still be torture. Think of Anthony Daniels, locked into his fiberglass C-3PO costume and having to act in the desert.


Thank you for the history lesson! So fascinating!


I sometimes forget how good rusty's voice is.


"I guess there's no way to make great art without abusing people. We sure are lucky to have near monopolized media production for a fascistic display of wealth and power. Subsume yourself into the corporation of art and you too will become immortal."
-This fucking guy

Another world is possible. Get your head out of your ass and try to disentangle the elements of art and oppression here, how coerced these actors were into accepting these conditions.

It's easy to say pain can be ignored for art when the dude making the decisions isn't the one that suffers.

This is disgusting


I have to disagree. Nobody should be forced to sacrifice their health or sanity for art. There was a video about Vincent Van Gogh that goes something like this:
"When people put flowers on Van Gogh's grave, they don't do it because he made beautiful art, they do it because he left a woman widowed and a child orphaned"
If I had to make a choice between amazing art and somebody's mental/physical health, I would choose their well-being. Even if it meant having to deprive myself of something amazing. I know that seems pretty fucking cheesy and idealistic, but to me, it seems kinda fucked up that people would choose some painting/film over somebody's life.

Nobody should have to but it will probably happen anyway. Anything worthwhile comes with a sacrifice.


Right before watching the video I prepared a list of the horrible stuff I knew from that movie, and slowly I crossed all of them off as you covered them.


For being such a classic that I’ve watched tons of a kid growing up in the 90’s to me buying the DVD a couple of days ago for $5


"Only sleeping 4 hours every three days" ... that's funny. That was me last year during home office in quarantine. Amphetamine is one hell of a drug.


Did you just end a video about the Wizard of Oz with an 8-bit version of a Pink Floyd in an attempt to make a reference to the "Dark Side of the Oz." This is why I love you Emp.


This video was awesome. It’s not often that a 21 minute video goes by so fast🤙🏼


Just goes to show corporations have little care for human life as long as they make money


Wish emp posted daily these videos are all just masterpieces


every single one of emplemons videos is a masterpiece


That 8-bit Pink Floyd track as the outro to the documentary is a reference to a theory that "The Dark Side of the Moon" was secretly constructed as a soundtrack to "The Wizard of Oz". It's very fitting, but even more clever, you sneaky dog.<br>You're one of my favorites in making essays, period.

EmpLemon taking cues from the great Nostalgia Critic, I see. That skit was The Wall Review tier.


This is horrid. I can only think of the part in "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" where he says (spoiler) "My daughter was a flower." That line was incredibly powerful and one that will inform how I treat women.


Man, that keeps ad at the start was a riot! Please consider getting into professional ad production if you ever decide/debate on getting a job outside of the Internet, you'd be an awesome pro ad director/editor! :D

Franklin Brooks stopped commenting on PS Vita


It's actually nothing short of a miracle that the movie came out as good as it did under these conditions.

Not at all; the people who made it were professionals who knew their business.


We've come a long way.  In 100 years people will be talking about our current work like this, as all of them are just on their computers all day.

We haven't really come that long a way; people have suffered far worse on movies since Wizard . The Conqueror (1956) was filmed near a nuclear power plant in Utah, and most of its cast developed cancer. Vic Morrow and two child actresses, Renee Shin-Ye Chen and Myca Dinh Le, lost their lives to a crashing helicopter while filming Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). Because of a stunt gone awry during the making of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2009), David Holmes, Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double, is paralyzed. And stuntwoman Olivia Jackson lost her left arm doubling for Milla Jovovich while filming Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016).

@James Bailey I see that your comment has a like; did you do that yourself? ;-)  I'm not after likes, and people who "disagree" with truth have a problem.

@MaskedMan66 none of your comments have likes and everyone disagrees with you.

@James Bailey You may say that. People with senses of humor would say otherwise.

@MaskedMan66 nothing you are saying is witty, clever, or funny

@James Bailey I don't know what you think you mean by "simping," nor what the production of "Wizard" has to do with either the OP's comment or my jocular response to it.

Jesus fucking christ, the fact the actors & actresses had to suffer unfathomably through sheer agony & suffering for a film hasn't been well known up until now is both astonishing, but especially terrifying.

We have known for decades about the hot lights, the uncomfortable costumes and make-up, and the accidents. But that was moviemaking in those days, and frankly, in some cases it's changed very little. Add to that the exaggerations and outright lies in this video and all the ridiculous rumors and scandalmongering, and you get a very unrealistic picture of things.


I don't even watch modern-day movies from Hollywood anymore I'm just sick and tired of seeing all the politics I don't agree with in these movies. I'd rather watch old movies like Wizard of Oz that doesn't have political correctness


I'd be happy with that ad as a full length video ngl that was art


I went to Judy Garland's Wikipedia page to read more about her, then fell into a rabbit hole and now I'm reading about involuntary euthanasia. Thanks emp!


Chilling thesis statement at the end there, Emp. Love it.

i ’ll never view it the
same way
again 😢

Why are you

Please stop.


The 8-bit Dark Side of the Moon at the end there is perfect.


Personally i like to pass down that the witch was payed buy a school teacher. As she was a elementary school teacher both before and after the movie.


I don't wanna say it was worth it, but it's like the one of the best movies ever...idk.


I've always thought that movie was boring as hell. The best parts were when the Wicked Witch was on screen.


There is no dark side of Hollywood really. Matter of fact it's all dark.

No, not all of it, any more than in any town.


I swear to god watching this video and reading the comments about how Judy was treated nearly made me punch my monitor in hatred and disgust for what those monsters did to her. since I know what it's like to be abused like that when I was younger.
EDIT 5/14/21:dont go into the replies. it's like a fucking onision novel down there

*EDIT 5/14/21:dont go into the replies. it's like a fucking onision novel down there*

Judy was not maltreated by anybody during the making of this movie; she was very popular with the cast and crew for her energy, her talent, and her amazing intelligence.

Delete this comment and accept the fact that the amount of horrors that go on within our everyday lives are enough for anyone to want humanity extinct.


Awesome documentary! What a sad story...


Holy fuck it's so damn true that old Hollywood was a fake suggestion of glamour and elegance. Poor actors, poor dog :(


It looks like there's real hell in our mortal world.

And it's located in Los Angeles, California.


This story still isn't as edgy as Zack Snyder's Justice League


And those people's health and life sacrificed, because of goddamn money, fame and greed against competitiors.<br>Shame!

12:22 I will literally get that for my 2 summer jobs, of which one consists of doing absolutely nothing and the other of doing next to nothing.


Dark side of the moon in the background! The attention to detail is insane!


I like how this movie forgets that it's a musical halfway through.

It doesn't; three musical numbers were recorded and at least one of them filmed, but they were excised when the suits decided that they made the movie too long. They were "The Jitterbug," a reprise of "Over the Rainbow," and the Triumphal Return to the Emerald City, which was a reprise of "Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead." All the audio survives, but the only footage that exists is rehearsal filming of the Jitterbug number taken on someone's personal camera and a too-brief clip of the Return in a trailer for the movie.


Honestly a movie could made about the infamous production of a classic movie

@RANDY TYSON It would involve a lot of legal red tape; Jackson was in Resident Evil and Holmes was in Harry Potter ; do you know about them and what happened to them making those movies?

@RANDY TYSON It would involve a lot of legal red tape; Jackson was in _Resident Evil_ and Holmes was in _Harry Potter_ ; do you know about them and what happened to them making those movies?

@MaskedMan66 make movies about those too

Hardly infamous; far worse things have happened on other movies. Ask Olivia Jackson and David Holmes.


Beutifull video, this really changed my outlooked on my own performance and how i should feel about myself and the art i make. also wow otaku vs is your patreon, thats really cool


I had a friend who used to call his regular RX mix the Judie. Only thing is, he was taking that mixture on purpose.
