About this listen

In this episode of His and Hers Gen X Podcast, Chad and Cristina review the 1985 Disney cult classic Return to Oz. Chad watched it as a kid but barely remembers it; Cristina saw it for the very first time, and together they dive into why this strange sequel to The Wizard of Oz has fascinated and unsettled audiences for decades.


Part children’s fantasy; part psychological thriller; and almost a horror film without blood or gore, Return to Oz has been called everything from a misunderstood masterpiece to one of Disney’s biggest flops.


Why did it bomb at the box office? Why did critics pan it? Does it hold up nearly 40 years later? Join us as we explore the weird, unsettling world of Oz, complete with the Wheelers, Princess Mombi, and a very different take on Dorothy’s journey.
