Don't click your heels three times just yet! We need to talk about THE ODD OZ TRILOGY! In honor of the cinematic one-two punch that is 2024's Wicked and this year's Wicked: For Good, Logan & Andy head down the Yellow Brick Road yet again to talk about three films that came out at times when the land of Oz had no chance of breaking into pop culture relevance again. Those three films are 1982's Japanese animated adaptation, The Wizard of Oz, 1985's dark expansion into L. Frank Baum's book lore Return to Oz, and 2013's 3D-animated, sorta-star-studded cash grab Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return.
How do these films re-interpret the original stories? How do they navigate the iconography of the 1939 film while remaining true to the original book? Also, are the boys going to find a way to tie any of these films back to Gundam?? Find out on this wonderful new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
