“I'll be downstairs, asleep, without my head on” The panel of peril tie their hair in a couple of lovely plaits and don some fetching red slip-ons to watch this week's film Return To Oz (Walter Murch, 1985). Dorothy (Fairuza Balk) is plagued by memories of the wonderful land of Oz, and as such is completely unable to sleep. Shipped off to a suspiciously creepy ‘clinic' by her well-meaning Aunt Em (Piper Laurie), Dorothy soon embarks on a magical journey back to the titular fantasy land. But our plucky heroine is shocked to find that things have taken a turn for the terrifying in her short absence. Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7DWx9xL23Y ********PLOT SPOILER ALERT******** The Emerald City lies in ruins, its citizens – including the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Man – turned to stone. The perpetrator is the new ruler of Oz, The Nome King (Nicol Williamson). He rules the land with a massive stony fist, ably assisted by the witch Mombi (Jean Marsh) who has a nasty habit of collecting her enemies' heads. Can Dorothy and her pals, Billina the chicken, Jack Pumpkinhead, and Tik-Tok the clockwork robot – fend off the ghastly Wheelers on their way to dethroning the gruesome twosome?

It's time to take another romp down the yellow brick road! As part of our miniseries building up to Glicked, we're now headed to the wonderful land of Oz. Renowned editor and one-time director Walter Murch made the fateful decision to make a sequel to one of the most beloved films of all time, The Wizard of Oz with Return to Oz (1985) which had a decidedly mixed reaction.  Dorothy, saved from a psychiatric experiment by a mysterious girl, finds herself back in the land of her dreams, and makes delightful new friends, and dangerous new enemies. (Sourced from Letterboxd) What do Cass, Matt and Jamie think of this 80s dark fantasy spin on the L. Frank Baum books? Who are the Wheelers?

Gory babies... it's our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY EPISODE!So naturally, we're slashing up and bleeding out perhaps our scariest film to date... and it's a Disney film...? Oh yes... it's finally time for RETURN TO OZ (1985), aka one of Stanley's personal favorites. Join us as we tip-toe down the Yellow Brick Road with young Dorothy (played here by Fairuza Balk in a lil powerhouse performance that set the tone for her career) and her smart-ass chicken, Billina (our actual spirit animal) -- and talk everything Oz, from our own obsessions with the original classic, how we feel about our first year on the podcast map, and of course, so much more!Spooky Season is here, guys. Thanks for sticking it out with us this last year, and we'll be back next week with our gory thoughts on NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988).- The Gory Gays

The pseudo-sequel to beloved classic The Wizard of Oz, the one and only film directed by the great Walter Murch is pure 80s nightmare fuel and quite possibly the weirdest studio film ever made. Stand-up comedian Kelly Farmer joins Derick to talk about this film which bombed at the box office but found a second life on VHS.

Is it worth seeking out this largely forgotten sequel to one of the most famous films of all time? To find out, Luke & James ride the river back to Oz with Walter Murch's directorial debut. This overlooked 80s dark fantasy Disney film has lots of surprises, including a talking chicken, the terrifying Wheelers, Tik-Tok the wind up robot army, and a pumpkinhead that would inspire The Nightmare Before Christmas.

We're putting our ruby slippers back on and heading back to the yellow brick road this week as we review Disney's 1985 movie, 'Return to Oz'. Billed as a semi-sequel to the classic musical, this film takes a much darker approach to the world of L. Frank Baum's book series. We see Dorothy, now an inmate awaiting electrotherapy, travel back to a much more twisted Oz than she remembers, a lot more reminiscent of Jim Henson's Labyrinth than the world she first visited. Listen in as we unpack all the new lore this movie offers, and talk about how many kids this movie scared when it first came out!Join our Patreon for TWO bonus episodes each month! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?
