Jordan and Brooke go over the rainbow for this 1939 classic that changed filmmaking forever, and may or may not have inspired the modern day pride flag! We rank every main character by canonical queerness (shoutout high femme lesbian Glinda truthers), discuss the very inclusive Oz books, ignore all other movie spin-offs (Wicked, you're on thin ice...), and get a bit emotional about how much this move means both to us and to the gay community.

HELLOOOO! Brooke and Jordan are rejoined by BJ and Harmony Colangelo (This Ends at Prom) to talk this Chris Columbus 1993 blockbuster which has aged...pretty well, actually!? There's outwardly gay supporting characters, there's a charming message about how family can look like anything, there's a nearly $500M box office take, and – oh, no, there are definitely still a few transphobic jokes.

Jordan and Brooke are rejoined by filmmaker Carly Usdin for another trip to our favorite queer space – Gotham City!

Jordan and Brooke hitch a ride to Vegas with writer Louis Peitzman for another wonderful entry in the Paul Verhoeven canon of horny queer cinema!
