Return to Oz (1985)

Send us Fan Mail What if The Wizard of Oz had what we all wanted? Less singing and more electroshock therapy? This week, we take a trip back to the Land of Oz with Return to Oz - the 1985 sequel no one asked for. We discuss wheeler gangs, talking chickens, and why Princess Mombi has a walk-in closet full of human heads. It’s darker, weirder, and somehow still a children’s movie. Will Disney return to this type of children’s movie? We try to make sense of it — from the backseat, of course.
