In this episode of Myths, Games & Meaning, Dr. Dani Shalet is joined by Dr. Chris Deacy and Dr. Paul March-Russell to explore myth, authority, and the hero’s journey through The Wizard of Oz.
Continuing our journey with Dorothy, we move from the trials of the Poppy Field to the shining promise of the Emerald City, and finally to the Wizard’s unmasking as “just a man.” Along the way, we examine how myth challenges authority, offers moments of escape, and helps communities make shared meaning.
The conversation also reflects on the ritual power of watching films together, the cyclical nature of the hero’s journey, and how retelling familiar myths helps us make sense of desire, transformation, and identity.
