À propos de cet audio

This week, your Nerd Best Friends take a VERY bold trip back to Oz… and wow, was it darker than we expected.


For Analese and Rob, this was a first-time watch of Return to Oz, and let’s just say—no one was prepared for wheelers, electroshock therapy vibes, or an alarming number of interchangeable heads. Meanwhile, Dr. Intern Joan revisits a childhood favorite and helps us unpack why this deeply unsettling sequel left such a lasting impression on a whole generation of nerds.


Is it a misunderstood masterpiece? A nightmare masquerading as a kids’ movie? Or the ultimate example of 80s films saying, “Sure, kids can handle this”? We break down the visuals, the themes, the lore, and the emotional damage—plus why this movie still lives rent-free in so many brains decades later.


Strap in, grab your ruby slippers (or chicken), and join us for a delightfully dark Nerdstalgia dive.

New episode out now—listen wherever you get your podcasts and don’t forget to follow, rate, and share with a fellow nerd who definitely remembers those Wheelers.
