And we're back! The Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion are ready to receive their hearts' desires, but unfortunately there is nothing in the Wizard's black bag for Dorothy, so our journey isn't quite over yet. Tara and EmKay attempt to define some of the Wizard's extravagant vocabulary, realize the Wizard is an Instagram ad and dive deep into the meaning behind this scene's iconic lines. Also please enjoy a Simon Sez rabbit hole and an unexpected Dear Evan Hansen comparison!
