return to oz

Swap on your witchiest head and take a long swig of nightmare juice, as we re-traumatize our tender psyches with Disney’s Return to Oz. Why were the 80s so messed up? How much of this movie have we all repressed? Where can we find our own sassy talking chicken? And who doesn’t like a nice mutton sleeve? This is a fittingly haunted—at least psychologically—episode to get you in an Octobery mood.

Barbara Crampton is one of the most iconic names in horror. Her latest movie King Knight is a little different. Making its world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival, the outrageous comedy sees Crampton in a different type of role. The legendary actress drops in to talk her new movie, the acceptance of horror, and her future.

August is Fantasy Horror month and we being with a strange and wonderful sequel.

A few weeks back we talked about Blood Red Sky. We agreed that it had great looking vampires and was a fun movie. With news of the movie setting records on Netflix, we talk about what it means for similar horror stories. One of things we liked about the movie, was the setting. Will there be more scary films set in cramped spaces?

Rising Wolf is a science fiction hostage drama with a really neat premise. It also has a good look, some great stunt work, and a strong lead performance. So why didn't we like it? We talk style over substance, torture in Young Adult stories, and what may be the worse shared universe ever.

The Fantasia Film Festival has long been known for its great library of genre films. One of the most most anticipated is King Knight, a wild comedy about a high priest whose dark secret has been discovered. Barbara Crampton talks about her role in the film and where horror is headed.

We close the show with our first movie for Fantasy Horror month. Aside from rumors about munchkins committing suicide, The Wizard of Oz is a saccharine sweet movie. It's 1985 sequel is a whole other animal. Return to Oz is filled wit dark and twisted visuals, a new cast of characters, a mangy mutt, and...no music?

     Every now and then, a movie goes above and beyond expectations, leaving us wanting more.  Attempts to recreate the magic often lead to problems and ultimately, extremely poor sequels.  In a fan-induced stupor, the guys talk about a few movies from years back that missed the mark.

In case you're worried about spoilers, we are going to ruin already ruined movies such as : Speed 2, The Neverending Story 2, and Return to Oz.  Trust us, we really didn't want to put ourselves through watching these, (especially Speed 2)  yet we didn't want to disappoint the TS2M fans, as this one came straight from one of you!

We head back to Kansas for another trip to Oz! this time, no Scarecrow or Cowardly Lion, instead we have Wheelers and the Gnome King to watch out for as we discuss the 1985 cult classic Return To Oz.  Come get blown away with us! 

We delve deep into the backstory of the villainous Scar when we prequelize the animated Disney classic The Lion King.

A young girl gets transported into her favorite movie...but not all is what it seems in this sequel to the supremely weird and wacky "family (?)" film Return To Oz
