In this episode, we dissect Disney's 2013 attempt to weaponize Wizard of Oz nostalgia with "Oz the Great and Powerful," a $215 million fever dream that somehow looks worse than the 1939 original. We explore how legal battles with MGM forced Disney to change the witch's shade of green and avoid spiral yellow brick roads, creating a bizarre copyright minefield that crippled the film's coherence. Despite the visual disaster, we uncover fascinating occult symbolism: the four witches representing

2025/10/28

In this episode, we dissect how Monsters University (2013) mainstreams secret society initiations through its Greek system fraternities and Scare Games.
