Who knew revisiting Oz could be this awesome? In our continued preparation for Wicked, today we're diving headfirst into the 'Oz-O-verse' with the delightfully dark, hilariously, strange, and unexpectedly sweet Return to Oz! 🌪️
Wil’s seen it at least twice before and didn’t quite vibe with it back then (spoiler alert: childhood Wil was wrong), while Kristin had her first-ever trip to this 80s fever dream—and guess what? We BOTH ended up loving it.
This movie has everything: talking chickens, Tik-Tok (no, not that one), a couch-turned-flying-contraption named Gump, terrifying wheelers, and a head-swapping villainess! Plus, the costumes and practical effects? RAD AS HELL. Sure, we get why it wasn’t initially a smash hit, but this gem deserves WAY better than its rep.
So join us as we relive Dorothy’s bonkers journey back to Oz, where the vibes are spooky, the feels are sweet, and the nostalgia is just the right amount of unsettling. Grab your ruby slippers (or rollerskates?) and let’s chat Return to Oz! ✨
