Return to Oz (1985)

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. Frank Baum.  Join in as we discuss Murch's storied career, the magical properties of chickens, the 2022 AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, and the trouble with trying to adapt Oz stories after 1939.  Plus: How did the chicken get to Oz? 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) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/we-love-the-love/message
