Talkin' fowl, prosaic protection, and the importance of mannequins… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids for a culturally-relevant trip through the life and times of 'The Wizard of Oz' originator L. Frank Baum, then peek behind the production curtain on what might be the darkest Oz adaptation to date. With ethereal grit only found in a kids’ film of the 1980s, it’s safe to say 'Return to Oz' confounded yet comforted your Ghost Hosts – and changed a generation of child audiences For Good.

Pubescent parenting perils, ancient cycles, and the real trick to magic… Oh lawd, it's about to get pretty dark! Join these ‘90s kids for a double-stuffed Halloween celebration as they unpack both the production details and plot behind of one of the finest DCOMs of the mortal world. They’ll revisit their own coming-of-age criticisms with new perspective, and by way of the witchy, underscore the importance of developmentally appropriate education. It’s a heavy helping of Halloween nostalgia and a timely reminder that when we honor our true selves (and the agency of those around us)…. it just might be enough to save the day.
