We're talking about movies that scared us as children as we look at Walter Murch's notoriously scarring 1985 film Return to Oz - Disney's first complete attempt to adapt L.

Is the Nome King a genderfluid icon? Would this actually work better as a musical? And, most importantly, did Will do so much research he broke his brain? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe! Next week: Game Night (2018)
